Sunglasses do more than shield your eyes and face — the perfect frames can complete an outfit. With winter coming to an end, its time to pick your sunnies for the season by trends fresh off the Spring 2013 collections.  Round frames a la John Lennon were a hit on the London runways, while decorated specs were hot per Prada’s influence, as well as at Roberto Cavalli. Cat-eyes, a classic, reappeared at Alice + Olivia, Jason Wu, Rachel Roy and more. Funky two-toned lenses were a surprise  addition to the eye wear scene, thanks to Gucci.
