9 Shades To Keep You Smiling Through Summer
My Ray Bans just officially died — they were saldy literally run over by a cab. What are some cool new sunglasses I can get that won’t be knocked off in a hot minute?
Well, I can’t guarantee they won’t be knocked off, those magical elves that churn out copycat sunglasses have been working overtime the past few years. However, I can steer you in a cool shades direction that will make your Ray Bans feel as stale as that pair of UGGS in the back of your closet.
First of all you have to know who Linda Farrow is. Farrow produces luxury eyewear with designers like Alexander Wang, Dries Van Noten, The Row, Matthew Williamson, Raf Simons, and OMG this list goes on forever. I peruse through her site on the daily and then cry myself to sleep since I can probably only afford a cleaning lense towelette. Linda Farrow has some awesome one-of-a-kind vintage shades as well – like these – but the true genius is absolutely in their collaborations. I am dying over the Alexander Wang cat eye frames and the Dries Van Noten blue acetate frames.
I do think every lady should have a pair of Audrey’s (black glasses that go with everything) and a pair of Cindy’s (as in Lauper, a totally outrageous and fun pair of shades).
Another trend I have been noticing in the sunglass realm are frames in pale peach — which looks particularly adorable on brunettes and red heads. Also currently obsessing over any and all Karen Walker eyewear, which has both a classic and modern feel to it. If you still want to be apart of the aviator trend (which I still secretly love) you should check out this pair of Chloe shades with genuine leather detailing. Adorable.
Or if you are still not 100% over your ray bans, it is a grieving process, you could opt for Grey Ant’s status shades which are like Ray Ban’s brother on steroids.
