Although we all like to hide behind a sharp pair of shades, we don’t always want to fork out a fortune for them when inevitably they’ll either end up in your car glove box, somewhere in your gym bag, or down the side of the sofa. With the sun still shinning away with an unexpected heatwave, we’ve put together our favourite sunglasses releases - all under a hundred sheets.

Komono Clement Cocoa  

These chunky cocoa and blue smoke lens frames work for both smart and casual occasions. With soft angles and curves, they are sophisticated while still creating a stylish statement. UV protection and scratch resistant lenses means they'll protect you against the suns harmful rays for years to come.

Jeepers Peepers Duke

Taken from their Clubmaster collection the Duke sunglasses are a great pair to have a bit of fun with in your everyday wear. With coloured half frames and metal bridge, they add dynamic and texture with contrasting materials and colours.

Spitfire Round

These chunky frames work well for casual occasions, with a high brow bar and removal lenses they work just as well as fashion frames too. With a dark grey tint they have total UV protection as well as slim arms and curving at the temples for a secure fit - you’ll fit right in on your epicurean adventures this summer.

Le Specs Demo Mode

If you like your sunglasses to be understated these are a great buy from Le Specs. The black rubber frames make them versatile for weekend wear and keep your style casual. The smoke mono lenses not only work well for keeping the sun out but are a great cover up from yesterday's one too many beers.

TOMS Booker

Aviator fans, here's a great pair of vintage sunnies from Toms. With a subtle green/grey lens and silver blue frame they suit a sunset evening teamed with jeans and a button down shirt. Bearing in mind aviators are a little more delicate - if you have a tendency to leave your glasses laying around opt for something sturdier.

Banana Republic Corbin

These plastic frame sunglasses by Banana Republic are fresh and light for weekend wear and down by the pool on a last minute holiday. With European gradient lenses that offer 100% UV protection, and contrasting frames and arms they’re versatile if have a sporty or preppy style.
