Throwing Shade: 15 Sunglasses We Love Under £100

See off the spring sunshine glare and add some instant glam in a pair of stylish but affordable sunglasses.

Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses is not just about following the latest seasonal trends. It’s about choosing frames that complement your unique facial features to balance proportions and flatter your profile.

For those with heart-shaped faces, the timeless ‘cat-eye’ frames are an excellent choice. With their upswept edges, cat-eye shape adds balance to the wider forehead and draw attention to the eyes, enhancing the overall symmetry of the face.

Aviator sunglasses, known for their teardrop shape and thin metal frames, are versatile and suit a variety of face shapes. However, they particularly flatter those with square or oval faces by softening angular features and adding a touch of retro-cool.

If you have a round face, oversized sunglasses are your best friend. These larger-than-life frames not only provide ample coverage but also create the illusion of length, making the face appear more angular and balanced.

Remember, the key to finding the right sunglasses is to experiment with different shapes and styles until you discover what suits you best. With many website now offering virtual try-on technology, it’s easy to trial a range of styles to find your perfect fit. Whether you're looking to rock the vintage-inspired cat eye, the classic aviator, or the statement-making oversized frames this spring, we have fifteen styles all under £100 to try.
