Aviators
Aviators are back! Not that they ever really went out of style. While the recent release of Top Gun: Maverick sees a fashion reboot for Top Gun, Tom Cruise was not without his signature pair of Rayban Aviators at the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival. The long-awaited sequel to the 1986 cult classic is more pastel suits and cruisy linen shirts than Cruise's original get-up of combat-inspired bomber jackets and khaki hues, but his accessory of choice remains the classic aviator.
Boxy
In case you missed it, Austin Butler is one of the hottest names in Hollywood right now, thanks to his leading role in Baz Luhrmann's new biopic, Elvis. Despite playing one of the biggest names in rock n' roll history, the US actor is ushering in a new era of understatement. The short-sleeved, oversized-collared white shirt and black high-waisted trousers he stepped out in at the Cannes Film Festival were a nod to the 50s, effortlessly topped off with a pair of classic wayfarer shades. Polished, classic and on our wishlist.
Wire Frame
We could write a standalone article on Brad Pitt's most epic looks of all time. Remember the aviator sunnies and Canadian tuxedo combo he sported in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood? Or his 1996 Oscar's red carpet moment arm-in-arm with Gwyneth Paltrow and wearing an open-shirted suit topped off tiny oval wire frames? The latter was the epitome of 90s dressing, and the good news is that nearly 30 years on, Pitt's wire frames are still coveted eye candy.

Coloured Frames
What's not to love about a wardrobe you can swap with your girlfriend? Jonah Hill shows us how it's done in a pair of chunky peach frames and woven bucket hat that have a fun unisex feel. Whether you're going oval, rectangular or aviator, this season is all about candy coloured frames and lenses that riff on those maximalist 60s and 70s styles (hello Elton John).
Opticals
When Tyler the Creator steps out in a new fit, we stop, we listen. The musician's twist on a preppy head-to-toe look is built upon classic accessories – think polished loafers, socks pulled high and optical-inspired eyewear. Recreate the look with eyewear your history-teacher would have worn that has a retro, slightly sleazy, sensibility.
