It hasn’t been a summer that’ll go down in history for its glorious weather. There have been pockets of sunshine, yes, but much of it has felt like a preview of autumn. Which brings us to our great expectations for the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness ahead: we’re pinning all our hopes on an Indian summer, thereby necessitating the indispensability of sunglasses once more – sunglasses that have, thus far, largely languished, sad and untouched, in a drawer. These are the ones we’ve got eyes on for a stylish autumn. Here’s hoping.
