While you'll look hip sporting your [Wayfarers](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-wayfarer) in the sun, those wanting to be really cutting edge will be wearing spring's newest fashion accessory: the round-lensed eye glasses.

The circular frames have been seen on the catwalk at [House of Holland](http://www.houseofholland.co.uk), [Temperley](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008RTW/complete/thumb/TEMP), [Salvatore Ferragamo](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008RTW/complete/thumb/FERRAGAMO) and [Paul Smith](http://www.style.com/fashionshows/collections/S2008RTW/complete/thumb/PAUL). Wear them bold in bright colours or subtle small ones in neutral tones.
