When they’re right, sunglasses have the power to elevate any outfit. They’re your outfit. We’re talking a complete change of vibe without having to alter a single article of clothing. You know the jeans, you know the jacket, but somehow with these bad boys on? It’s a different feel. And that, friends, is not insignificant. SHOP WHOLE STORY:Tortoiseshell Sunglasses The struggle, as ever, is finding that perfect pair. There are so many shapes, price points seem to be a big judge of quality when they really aren’t and nothing feels worse than realising a pair of sunglasses that looked gorgeous on the rack make you look awkward in every selfie you take that summer. Remember that. We don’t. We’re here to help you avoid that situation. That’s why we’ve compiled this collection of sunglasses around things that actually matter when you’re looking for a new pair. Face shape is important, yes. But so is your personal style, where you need sunglasses for and what feels versatile versus something you’ll only wear once. These can be your “one pair of sunglasses solves all problems” pair or we can help you build your collection one essential style at a time. Both classics you’ve known and loved for years (trust us when we say they’ve been around for decades for a reason) and trendy shapes that feel current without being too trendy that you’ll feel silly wearing next year. Cat eye sunnies, oversized squares, thin metal circles, tortoiseshell beauties we think will look good on just about anyone. These are the kinds of sunglasses we’re talking about. As for quality, we take that seriously. For sunglasses, UV protection is something that’s absolutely non negotiable and we haven’t included any brands that don’t take that into consideration. Past that? We’ve been keeping an eye out for pairs that feel feather light, sit well no matter your face shape and have construction that feels purposeful, not cheap. Because let’s be honest, a cool looking pair that slides down your nose the second it gets warm doesn’t do you any good. We want you to find that pair that you reach for time and time again. Not the “special occasion” pair. Not the ones you only grab if you’ve busted your favourite pair. But the pair you love so much that they become a staple of how you feel put together season after season because they just work with your face and your lifestyle. Expect nothing less here.
