Made to Measure: The perfect sunglasses

Turn your eyewear game up a notch by finally getting a pair of sunglasses that suits your face shape. Here are our four favourites for summer.

Gucci, Dh950

Illesteva, Dh745

For a touch of high fashion, here's the most accessible piece - a shade your friends don't own. The marbled acetate is a ridiculously stylish accent to the cool and contemporary metal frames.

Wear with a white shirt and a pair of denims.

Fit for oval-shaped faces - a shape that suits all styles.

Gucci, Dh950

Stay away from flashy pairs with big logos. Go for understated details, clean lines and subtle curves.

Wear with a blazer and a pair of brogues, even if you're not off to an Italian getaway.

Fit for round faces and full cheeks - the wider, rectangular frames will contrast soft curves, giving them definition.

Ray-Ban, Dh895

Want something way more interesting than a Wayfarer? The shape is classic but the hue will give you a second look.

Wear with blues and blacks.

Fit for heart-shaped faces - oversized sunglasses will widen your chin and balance your jawline.

Gregory Peck, Dh1,375

A step or two outside your comfort zone might result in a discovery that works, such as these polarised retro-influenced stunners with a throwback cool feel.

Wear with greys and chinos.

Fit for square-shaped faces - the curves will offset your pointier features.
