The sun is out in full force and now that we’re actually allowed to enjoy it in public, it’s no longer acceptable to sport that pair of beaten shades you’ve had for 10 years. Although they’re a small accessory, the importance of sunglasses far outweighs their size relative to other components in your outfit.

The right pair has the power to tie a whole look together, and that’s not to mention that a pair of high-quality sunnies actually protect your eyes from UV rays. Whether you’re a disciple of Virgil, Lagerfeld, Bob Dylan, or any of the other icons who are inextricably linked to their particular pair of shades, it’s time to recognize that luxury sunglasses often maketh the man.

Sunglasses should frame your face. Softer face shapes suit square frames because they work to harden features like your jawline, while squarer faces should opt for round or oval frames for contrast. So, find out what kind of shape your face is, then dive into our luxury selections from labels like Saint Laurent, Dior, and more to discover your new look.

Scroll down to see the best luxury sunglasses for every face shape.
