Did you hear? We're calling the seasonally average spike in temperature this week a heatwave. 

This means you can legitimately wear your sunglasses now, but let's not bother with simple styles; we'll bet you've got stashes of those already. Instead take inspiration from stars including Rihanna right now, and Elizabeth Taylor way back when, and opt for something a little more elaborate. 

Bright coloured or glittery sunnies, as well as jewel-embellished pairs are in plentiful supply from ASOS to Miu Miu, and the best thing about shades with attitude is that they'll give an instant summer update to your old faithful sunshine wardrobe. 

Be inspired by the stealth statement sunglass-wearers in this gallery, followed by our edit of the best pairs to buy right now.
