Face a Face frames

Whether crystal clear, or a barely-there hint of colour, translucent eyewear is set to stay. Super-flattering, it highlights the under-eye area and helps to disguise those tell-tale shadows. Here’s OT ’s pick of the looks.

Natural flair

Lizzy's style notes 

Each month, OT columnist, Lizzy Yeowart, considers a dispensing scenario. This month: a 55-year-old on a walking staycation

Lizzy says...

The most protective sunglasses are wraparound, opaque styles that protect the eyes from incidental ambient light entering from the side. Rubberised ear and nose pieces make the frames more secure.

Spark by Julbo

‘Spark’ by Julbo is a must-have for walkers who want a single pair of elegant, high-performance photochromic sunglasses. A technical bridge and sides make sure they stay in place. Julbo, ‘Spark.’

Feel the curve

'Boxton’ by Bollé

The Bollé Boxton rubber Tortoise Pool prescription sunglasses can correct up to -8.00/+ 6.00 spheres and 4 dioptres of cyl. Bollé’s wraparound recalibration software ensures the prescription is correctly adjusted to account for the curve.
