Shades are the this weeks Summer Essential. Sunglasses are used for more than just protecting your eyes from the sun. They’re used to complete “the look” and also used to hide behind for a boost of confidence. Remember these 3 things no matter what your use for them are:
- Carry them in a case with the proper cloth when your not “using them”.
- Unless you want people to have the impression that you’re an insecure jerk Take them off indoors.
- Take them off when your speaking to someone in doors or out. (especially a woman).
Ray-Ban Aviator
Price: $99
Frame: Metal
Colors available: Gold, black, silver, gunmetal, pink
The Air Force needed sunglasses, and Ray-Ban obliged. In a happy coincidence, the results—in addition to providing some pretty solid glare protection for fighter pilots—were an instant design classic. The aviator that invented the genre hasn’t changed in 70 years, and it’s not likely to do so in the next 70, either.
For a narrow shaped face I suggest asking for a pair of the extra large size in these.
Ray-Ban Outdoorsman
Price: $129
Frame: Metal
Colors available: Gold, black, silver
As for a more wider face shape I suggest getting the Outdoorsman Aviators with the wrap-around temples.
Mosley Tribes Legionnaire
Price: $180
Frame: Metal
Colors available: Black, gold, armada blue, and silver (frames); bronze, olive, gold, gray, and mirror (lenses)
Named in tribute to the sunglasses worn by French foreign soldiers—and not the disease you get from air conditioners—these heavy metal shades are both sturdy and, well, heavy. On the positive side, the gradual arc of the lenses complements a wide variety of faces, and they go great with white, mullet-shaped desert headgear.
Gucci 1852/s KJ1P9
Price: $265
Frame: Metal
Colors available: Palladium, ruthenium, gold, dark ruthenium
It’s all about the details, most notably the superthin frame around the lenses, balanced out by a (relatively) bold, rubberized bridge. Just be sure to take them out of your back pocket before sitting down.
