You guys should know by now that I am a sucker for a good pair of shades. My love first began many years ago when I was dicking around in the Sunglass Hut at my local mall with my friends. I think I tried on a classic pair of Ray-Ban Aviators, and I was sold. They looked amazing, hid my face and made me look like a solid 10 out of 10. A winning item in my book. Since then, my adoration for sunglasses has simply grown to dizzying heights. In this post, I thought that I would break down my extensive sunglass collection. Â Today I am going to share with you my top 5 pairs of sunglasses in my collection.
Saint Laurent Cat Eye Sunglasses.
Over the years I have owned many different Saint Laurent sunglasses. However, the cat eye version are the ones that I need to mention in this post of the top 5 pairs of sunglasses in my collection. The classic shape helps to really lift the face and give you a snatched look. Plus, this shape and style has been in fashion for the last 6 decades and it isn’t going anywhere any time soon. The sign of a true classic is having them in multiple colours. My favourite has to be the timeless tortoise. Truly elegant!

Ray-Ban Aviators.
As I mentioned above, these are the sunglasses that started my love affair. I tried them on and I was hooked. I can remember going home from the shopping centre and begging my dad for a pair of sunglasses that cost me over £100 and he almost fell through the floor. Then when I told him that they were the Ray-Ban Aviators, he warmed to the decision a little more. Even he knew that they were classic, timeless and truly stunning glasses. I bought my first pair of these when I was only 15. They are now battered, bruised and well loved, but I love them just as much as I did back then.

Celine Black Oversize Sunglasses.
We all have those days where you need to hide your face from the world. That is where these Celine Oversized Sunglasses come out to play and they deserve a place in my post about the top 5 pairs of sunglasses in my collection. Hungover days, I reach for these. Tired days, I reach for these. Bad mental health days, I reach for these. They are worth their weight in gold for that reason. They help me go from looking like a troll, to somebody that is halfway to socially acceptable to leave the house and be seen in public.

Dezi Drippy Sunglasses.
If you guys aren’t familiar with what Drippy sunglasses are from Dezi, you need to take a look online at them as soon as possible. I wouldn’t even be bothered if you had to click off this post to browse them. They really are worth it. As soon as Desi Perkins came out with sunglasses, I knew I was going to love them. They are designer shades, but at a fraction of the price. As soon as I saw Drippy with the gold accents, I was hooked. I bought them instantly and I have worn them more times than I care to mention. All time favourite glasses!
Â
Dior Stellaire Sunglasses.
I am mentioning these Dior last in my post of the top 5 pairs of sunglasses in my collection because they are possibly my most underrated pair. When I see these glasses, I think about wonderful simplicity. I think I first saw these on the Dior runway probably 10 years ago and it was love at first sight. The shape of them was the thing that I loved straight of the bat. That simply soft square looked like a size and shape that I could really utilise in my closet. Whenever I am unsure of what sunglasses I should wear, these are the ones that I reach for!
As always, I hope you enjoyed this post and learning about the top 5 pairs of sunglasses in my collection. These are all brands that I love, styles that suit me and they are timeless frames. Each of the items mentioned above I have owned for quite some time and I still adore them. I think that all of the sunglasses that I have mentioned in this post on the top 5 pairs of sunglasses in my collection, will be items that I keep in my collection for many years to come. No matter where, or how many times I wear these sunglasses, I always get compliments. That always makes me feel special.
