On the hottest weekend of the year so far, it's time to start shopping for a new pair of sunglasses.

But which sunglasses to wear? Bright colours don't feel quite right until we're in summer proper, so we love styles in subdued colours - soft greys, greens and tonal browns all look absolutely luxurious with a winter palette. The shape that is high on our list right now is what we're calling a soft cat-eye, a modern take on the classic frame but not so retro looking. 

So whether you're planning a ski holiday, beach holiday or just looking for a style to wear here and now, view the gallery for 20 of our favourite styles.
