Chris Bennett: Summer of sport and sunglasses

You have to feel sorry for anyone at the moment who isn't into sports.

The final stages of the football World Cup have been accompanied by tennis at Wimbledon, the British Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone. Last weekend even  the Tour de France chose Yorkshire for its grande depart into three weeks of cycling. As well as providing an excuse to dress the practice window these sporting events are also a great showcase for eyewear and sunwear in particular.

Last week Optician reported how Maui Jim was using Martina Hingis to promote its sunglasses and there were certainly plenty of supporters wearing sunglasses, if not so many of the tennis players on court.
