A return of the “shield” has been duly noted of late, more so in stylish sunglasses than in its traditional venerated position within the sport arena. It lends itself well to the whole frame-in-a-frame direction and sees equal acclaim as it jumps bridges with its one-piece frontal approach. And it seems to thrive on fun sun colorations so we’d like to get on the good foot and afford credit to an innovator like James Brown. We wonder as well if this will affect a new surge in the wearing of three-piece suits and/or matching sport jackets with coordinated jumpsuits. On that note: Just shield us from the answer.
