The Graduate...

Take a trip back to the 70s, channel some Simon and Garfunkel, drag out your drainpipes and rediscover your love for graduated shades.

Whether it's for lenses or frames, graduated sunglasses will provide echoes of 70s retro chic which easily blend with contemporary styles.

There's no need to dig out an old scratched pair from under your bed, Tom Ford's already done the legwork and styled up a pair that even Mrs Robinson wouldn't turn down.

Seduce yourself with this graduate, pick Tom Ford's plastic ladies designer sunglasses with a brown/green graduated frame and brown lenses for under £120 at Send Optics.

Adrenaline Junkie vs. Fashion Junkie

It would be crazy to ignore a rich history where fashion and functionality have crossed paths, particularly so in the sports arena. However, traditionally, stylish sportswear or more so specialist eyewear has been the preserve of ladies.

Contemporary sunglasses are biting back for the boys and giving skiers and cyclists a run for their money. Instead, we see fashion statement eyewear meeting quotidian purposes which results in shades you wouldn't be ashamed to be seen in on the street - but which would be pretty useful on the golf course too...a la mode du Tiger Woods.

Our pick are these Tag Heuer Wraparound unisex designer sunglasses with a black frame and infrared lenses. Smooth, sleek, stylish and sporting; the real deal at Send Optics. And for a limited time, on offer with 20% off.
