Styling an outfit is not just about putting together a few items to wear—it’s about creating a cohesive look that tells a story. Every detail matters, from the choice of fabric to the way pieces are layered. Accessories, in particular, are the final touch that brings a look together. They add personality and flair, transforming an ordinary outfit into something extraordinary. This season, one accessory has been my go-to: sunglasses.
Sunglasses can make or break an entire look. They’re not just for sunny days—they’re a year-round staple that can add a fun or sophisticated element to an outfit. In London, where we see rain more often than sun, sunglasses might seem like an odd choice. But for me, they’re essential. Whether I’m hiding tired eyes or adding an edge to my outfit, sunglasses are my secret weapon. They’re the one accessory I never leave the house without—and the one I get the most complimented on.
Different pairs of sunglasses offer endless possibilities for styling. Whether I’m wearing bold, oversized frames or a sleek, minimalist pair, my sunglasses can transform my look. I love experimenting with different shapes and colours, matching them with my outfits to create a harmonious yet striking appearance. It’s fascinating how a simple accessory can change the vibe of an entire ensemble, making it more polished or playful, depending on the occasion. But let’s face it: The market isn’t lacking in the sunglasses department. Everywhere I look, there’s a new style, so finding a pair that works for me and my wardrobe can be difficult.
Recently, Vogue Eyewear’s newest collection has become my safe place for go-to styles that give my outfits a finishing touch. The brand’s designs perfectly blend classic and contemporary elements, making them incredibly versatile. This capsule collection featuring 10 new styles is all about playing with fun shapes and colours. It’s inspiring me to be more adventurous with my style while staying true to myself.
With that in mind, I decided to push my style in a new direction by incorporating more colour into my wardrobe, experimenting with bolder hues and daring combinations. It’s amazing how a pop of colour from a pair of sunglasses can influence an entire outfit, adding a fresh and dynamic element to my look.
Style Notes: Take these sage sunglasses, for example. I paired them with a bright, printed, linen co-ord set, which brought out the green in the sunglasses, creating a fresh and vibrant look perfect for a sunny day out in the park. The white ballet flats and scrunchies added a touch of whimsy, while the top-handle bag kept the look grounded and added an element of sophistication. This outfit is all about balancing bold patterns with subtle, complementary accessories.

Style Notes: For my second look, I honed in on matching tones. The blue-ombre shirt and white poplin skirt make a dreamy combination that feels both relaxed and put-together. The blue sunglasses are the star, naturally, and they do their job effortlessly tying the whole ensemble together. The light, breezy fabrics and pastel hues make this outfit ideal for a warm day, while the structured accessories add a touch of playfulness. This outfit is perfect for a casual brunch or day of shopping.

Style Notes: My third look features pink sunglasses with a graphic T-shirt and classic barrel jeans. The bright-pink tone of the sunglasses inspired me to play with pops of colour. The checkered scrunchie and socks cohesively pair together with the bright red cherry print on the top and make this outfit more colourful. It’s a quintessential London summer outfit: fun, vibrant, and cool. The playful accessories add a touch of whimsy, while the comfortable, casual pieces ensure the look is perfect for a day spent exploring the city.
