Specsavers has just launched Australia’s largest range of designer sunglasses with over 150 new styles to choose from. Collaborating with world-famous brands and designers like HUGO, Alex Perry, Tommy Hilfiger, Super Dry, Quiksilver, Diesel and more, discerning gents are spoilt for choice when it comes to new summer styles.
Key pieces include urban frames in bold acetate; round frames are seriously on-trend right now, and there are updates to classics like aviators from Alex Perry and a range from Tommy Hilfiger that reflect the label’s youthful spirit.
“Sunglasses might be a small accessory, but they can have a large impact on your look,” says Yvy from the Specsavers product team.
“When it comes to choosing sunglasses, my tip is to find the right ones for you and your wardrobe and then make them work with your individual style.”
We’ve perused the new Specsavers range and selected six styles that are guaranteed to elevate your summer wardrobe and also do a bang-up job of protecting your eyes from the harsh southern sun, which is arguably just as important.
And if contact lenses are your thing, the Specsavers team are here to help. To ensure you don’t get caught short without your contacts when you need them the most this holiday season, make sure you sign up for automatic reordering with easypay. Just select the frequency of your re-order at the checkout – by doing this, you’ll also score free delivery on all your orders plus a free pair of glasses too!*

Specsavers also offers a wide variety of lens options including polarising, tinting, ultra-thin and reactive lenses, so your new shades are perfectly tailored to your needs.
“I always recommend choosing polarised lenses,” adds Yvy. “It’s an option you’ll want: polarising cuts out the glare and is a must for the Australian summer.”
If you’re like us and love the flexibility of contact lenses and styling your look with a great set of frames, why not use both? Whatever your preference, Specsavers has a great range of options to suit – no matter your style and budget.
