One of the original ‘sunnies from a hundred quid’ brands, Ace & Tate’s Amsterdam-based design team creates stylish, understated shades – think aviators and updated classics. The brand offers a smart home try-on option: pick up to four of your favourite frames and it’ll lend them to you for five days, free of charge, to road test.

Founded in Kings Cross in 2012, Cubitts creates smart, unfussy shades. It also offers a virtual try-before-you-buy service: upload your face to its site and see which of its classic styles works best. The name, by the way, is the surname of three 19th-century brothers who distinguished themselves as a lord mayor, master builder and architect.

Garrett Leight is the son of Oliver Peoples founder Larry, giving him perhaps the ultimate shades pedigree. Garrett started his own label a decade ago in achingly cool Venice Beach, where he’s still crafting stylish sunnies from acetate to give your wardrobe some of that relaxed Cali vibe.
