In The Shades
When it comes to sunnies, I tend to stick with what I love: a cat eye shape that suits my small face. With so many styles available, however – from oversized or mirrored to aviator and classic tortoiseshell – I asked some of the Tonic team which looks they are loving.
“My Cutler and Gross tortoiseshells from the ’80s. Sartorial, simple and can go so many ways.” Megan
“I move from preppy round frames to a black square rock star vibe depending on my mood. I own many pairs because they are a quick way to change up your style.” Carlotta

“Regardless of what’s in fashion, I find that I am always staring at butterfly-shape sunglasses, usually in black or dark tortoiseshell.” Marina

“The bigger the better. I prefer to look like they’ve catapulted out of the ’70s or ’80s, and a bit of bling or colour never hurts.” Rachelle
