Oversized sunglasses are everywhere you turn in recent years, from Primark to the catwalk brands. While the designer pricetags are not for all of us, investment in a timeless accessory is often easy to excuse. These Nico Sunglasses by Tom Ford certainly lean enough on vintage inspiration to last year after year, without falling for boring design points.

The angular design makes this pair stand out, without compromising the sixties/seventies appeal of the pair. Shown here in a tortoiseshell colour design, the gradient shading of the lenses, too, perfectly evokes a retro chic.
