Two clearly distinct designs were spotted on the runway in Milan, both embracing precisely [round lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunski-strada).

The second look is Prada perfection: [large summery white frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20) of asymmetrical colour swirls and elegant scrolls extending from the temple along the frame's arm. These are my favourite, however; I think they look their best when worn with hair drawn back tightly and a simple outfit.
