The Best Sunglasses for Men: Top 10 Designer Frames
From sleek and simple to futuristic and fashion-forward, we list our favourite sunglasses for summer and beyond
Sunglasses wearers typically fall into one of two camps: those who find a favoured style and stick to it through thick and thin, and those who flit from fashionable frame to fashionable frame like magpies.
Of course, there is no right or wrong tack to take. Classics are just that for a reason, while the joy of a fleeting trend carries its own sort of magic. Those who follow the former will find among this list refined wayfarers and urbane aviators, while those seeking the latter will be pleased to encounter the two prevailing trends of the season: narrow and futuristic or sporting and wraparound.
Whichever your predilection, read on for Port's pick of the best men's designer sunglasses.
