  • Ray-Ban Wayfarer RB2140: if you buy one pair for everything, this is it. It suits round and oval faces, works from jeans to a suit and never goes out of style.
  • Oakley Holbrook: the most balanced casual - a classic shape with Prizm technology that lifts colour and contrast.
  • Polaroid: a polarized lens at €40-100 - for a second pair for the car, the beach, or simply a no-risk start.
