Audrey Hepburn. Jackie O. John Lennon. Marlon Brando. Grace Kelly. Brigitte Bardot. Elvis: a quick tally of the most well-known sunglasses wearers the world has ever known does seem, rather uncannily, to also namecheck some of the coolest people ever to have lived. If, then, we can channel even an ounce of their nonchalant, easy style by throwing on a pair of sunglasses, then we shall do so. No, we might not immediately be mistaken for Holly Golightly as we sashay to Tiffany’s for a spot of early morning, post the night before browsing. But it’s a start – and we shall at least be protecting our peepers from harmful UV rays in our endless quest for cool.

These are the ones we’re eyeing up to deliver a soupcon of the mystique of Ms Hepburn et al. What is it that they say about aiming for the stars again…? We can but try.
