Trade in your sunnies for a brand new pair
Always keep a pair of shades (or two) handy.

Whether you just lost (okay, misplaced) your latest pair of sunglasses or simply want to add to your ever-growing collection, here are five new pairs of sunnies to pick up this Hong Kong summer.

1. Linda Farrow Luxe cat-eye sunglasses

Everything looks rosy through the Linda Farrow sunglasses.

We love the retro feel of these rosy shades (HK$5,200) by Linda Farrow. Featuring the so-on-trend cat-eye silhouette, they look just as good with your favourite bikini as they do with your usual city getup.
 
These Linda Farrow sunglasses are available at www.lanecrawford.com.
 

2. Mercedes Benz Exclusive M 1001 series

These shades from Mercedes-Benz are extremely lightweight.

Inspired by the Mercedes-Benz radiator grille, the car brand's "Exclusive" line of sunglasses (HK$4,738) is crafted in cool colours like dark brown and grey blue. All are extremely lightweight and made with pure titanium, and feature an integrated spring hinge for easy wearing.

3. Victoria Beckham oversized round sunglasses

Emulate Posh by wearing her namesake sunglasses.

Get ready for some serious snubbing with these oversized round sunglasses (HK$4,400) by Posh. There's just enough shading on the lenses for that mysterious look while the clear beige frame lets them see glimpses of the real you.

Stay cool through summer with a pair of beige sunnies (HK$2,120) from Longchamp. The large lenses give you just the right amount of shading, while the lightweight frame won't weigh you down.
