The right kind of sunnies can make or break the summer. From Prada to Porsche,the eyewear behemoths have launched the seasons styles. The must-haves are the classic shades,large and colourful,a little less funky than their aviator cousins. Then there are the modish,wide-frame glasses in wayfarer style,which can be a delight in dog days.

Ray-Ban has brought out a line of lavishly decorated,wayfarer sun glasses. After floral prints and retro cartoons,the eyewear brand has put the map of a New York subway on a pair of sunnies.
Price: Rs 6,290

The Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana is better known for celebrating silhouettes,sensuality and Sicily (their recent show at the Milan Fashion Week that left most fashion editors teary-eyed was a tribute to the Sicilian seamstress).

The two-toned butterfly-shaped shades give the effect of two superimposed glasses,a deep brown over granite grey.
