GET THE EDGE

Let’s follow along as the celebrated sport brand Smith Optics breaches the arena anew, setting a sun standard with lightweight, matte metal sport shades that hit both trajectories of hard work and hard play.

TAKE SHAPE

The essential rimless enterprise ventures to cover more ground in trend territory and dominates semi-rimless with round lenses and an ultralight brow bar that speaks to the brand while breaking boundaries.

ECSTATIC

Keep on the move in matte as depth and texture ground sport (and all) eyewear to lead shades away from shine.

A RUN FOR HER MONEY

Oakley turns its eyes toward feminine graces and sculpts a polished sun look to warm up to. Subtle, deep Havana keeps things smooth and earns this frame a perfect 10 performance.

THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN

BEST ZEST

Let’s talk texture. Lafont says Parisian style so simply, designing with not only color, but sculpture, and most importantly to this frame: feel.

RICH-CRAFT

Now’s the time to look back with John Varvatos as the brand draws from optical heritage, wrapping delicately detailed metal with a mix of cool rock and warm tones to satisfy the finer side of slick sunwear.
