A stylish summer with a new pair of shades.

Trends: Eye Spy

Scott Holstein Kirsten Strickland wears Ray-Ban Jackie Ohh II sunglasses, available for $145 Cole Couture Boutique.

Short shorts and swimsuits shout “Summer is Here!” but the season’s most versatile accessory is actually a necessity — sunglasses.

Shades provide a great opportunity to show off your style while saving your sight and helping you avoid sun damage. Go back to the future with classic aviators and Ray-Bans, or enjoy a bit of Hollywood glam with cat-eye shapes and oversized frames.

Other trends include touches of natural materials, such as leather and wood, or a pop of animal print or neon color. With a bevy of au courant styles and shapes, what shades will grace your face this summer? Share your favorite sunglass styles at facebook.com/tallahasseemag.
