To help get you in the summertime mood, why not check out some of the JOEs strutting their (kind of) sexy stuff in the clip below. We will warn you though, and you may find this hard to believe, but neither of these particular JOEs are professional models. We know, such incredible talent…

Whether you’re buying a pair for you and a friend, or simply treating yourself this summer (or JOE for that matter), take inspiration from the trends below to achieve the perfect look for any occasion.

Trends of the season

Pretty Tough – Sunglasses take on embellishment this season at Brown Thomas with Prada and Gucci bringing couture features to daytime shades. Miu Miu and Dior make pretty statements by adding stand out embellishments from hand applied crystals to rock icon studs.

Futuristic Flashback – Experiment with colour, shape and size this season at Brown Thomas. Look to the tipped cats eyes from Dior, sixties style flat topped rounds in colour at Stella McCartney and Dolce & Gabbana.

Mirror Mirror – With fashion houses like Chanel and Prada bringing the mirrored lens to the runway it’s time to take note. Cult brand Ray-Ban has the perfect reflective lens throughout their collection including favourite’s wayfarer, clubmaster and aviator.

Lightweight – Giorgio Armani and Tiffany topped off their catwalk looks this season with sporty flat top shades. Most collections offer lightweight acetate and metal frames options. Celine and Prada’s collection are unmatched for their wear-ability and impact with thick handcrafted acetate and glare busting polarised lenses.

Blue – Blue is the biggest colour trend for the season and the Ray- Ban Wayfarer have the perfect blue lens.

Sunglasses are available at Brown Thomas Dublin, Brown Thomas Cork, Brown Thomas Limerick and Brown Thomas Galway. For further information or to make an appointment in advance, please contact the Sunglasses Department at Brown Thomas directly at 01 -6779396.
