So which particular sunglasses should you be wearing on the beach and at your desk this summer? In London's fashionable Shoreditch, those Ray-Ban Wayfarers as worn by Tom Cruise in the 1980s are making a big comeback. Charlie Porter, associate editor of GQ, recommends men ditch the old standby aviator style for more severe, thick-rimmed design.
But are you really allowed to wear sunglasses indoors? Apparently so. At the London Guardian newspaper's fashion department there have been recent reports of a nu-rave intern who wore her glasses to work every day, through cloudy and sunny days alike. She politely observed office convention and took off her big, white-framed glasses at her computer terminal, but popped them on for every visit to the water cooler, the kettle, photo copier and the toilet. Did people laugh at her, your reporter asked. "Oh no," said fashion editor Jess Cartner-Morley. "We all thought it was fabulous."
