A chic, retro-inspired look.

Martine McCutcheon provided a lesson in how to wear oversizes sunglasses as she took to social media to share a sweet tribute to a close friend.

In a post on her Instagram account, Martine shared a selfie with her friend Jan in a garden, and the pair smiled at the camera while wearing fabulous, oversized sunnies.

Martine opted for square shades with a tortoiseshell frame, while Jan chose a slightly more rounded shape with a narrow gold rim and pink tinged lenses.

Martine shared the post to mark Jan's birthday and wrote a heart-warming dedication to her in the caption.

"Happy Birthday Darling Jan!" wrote Martine, then she referred to the classic characters from Absolutely Fabulous as she described her friend as "the ultimate Patsy to any Edina," adding, "And you are like a fine wine! You just get better!"

The photograph was taken during a party with "so many friends" joining together to celebrate Jan. "You are resilient, Funny, strong, wild, naughty, full of love and laughter and a most of all, you are a really good friend to so many people," Martine went onto say.

Another image shared in the post shows the duo smiling together with a black and white effect over the image, also taken in the garden.

For the occasion, Martine wore a floral blouse with a retro-inspired red and orange print which complimented her fabulous sunnies perfectly.

If you're looking for the ideal pair of shades to see you through the end of summer and into the lighter autumn months, take a look at some of our favourites from across the high street:

Instead of opting for dark cat eye sunglasses, why not try a neutral pair? Boasting a fun retro shape, everyone will want to know where your sunglasses are from.

These sunglasses are a pair that are always great to have in your handbag. This is one of Ray-Ban's most recognisable shapes and have been seen on many celebrities including Reese Witherspoon and Anne Hathaway.

If you love oversized sunglasses, then these ones are for you. With a pretty tortoiseshell colour and dark tint lenses, these sunglasses are perfect for any summer occasion.

These retro pink sunglasses make a fun addition to any outfit. Also pink is super on-trend this season, making them the perfect pair to grab now before summer is over.

Cat eye sunglasses are always a pair you will reach for time and time again. This pair will add a touch of drama to any outfit and are impact resistant, making them wonderful choice for everyday wear.

You can't beat the aviator style. Effortlessly stylish, this style is best suited to those with square faces, due to its dropped shape. We think the brown tint to these ones make them super beachy and would look fabulous on holiday.

Designed for an active woman, these Oakley's are great for someone who loves being on the move-whether that be walking or cycling. They also have adjustable nosepads, making them super comfortable to wear too.

These rimless square sunglasses are on-trend this season. Comfortable yet sleek, these sunglasses have a pretty feminine feel to them and we're sure will become your go-to pair of sunnies.

Think classic cat eye sunglasses, but a tad smaller. Combining a brown tortoiseshell design with angular lenses, these will instantly make you feel put together.

These Bvlgari sunglasses are iconic and are a pair you will have for many years. Although they're an investment piece, with their gold edge rim detailing and two tone lenses, they're the epitome of style.
