Basic Circle Frames
Calling all those championing for the crowned shade-shape of the season. Eyeful US label ‘Slow and Steady Wins the Race' brings it home with Basic Circle Frames.
Suitably named after yesteryear fable ‘The Tortoise and the Hare', Slow and Steady travels at a winsome pace. Their aesthetically purified wares respond to a consumer longing for significant design without the avant-garde price tag.
The heart-shaped sunnies
OK tell the truth, Ruth - ever since Lesley Arfin came here on her book tour, you have secretly wanted a pair of those heart-shaped sunnies she was wearing in the press photo. The bad news is, Top Shop have them in, so they are headed out of style in approximately three days. The neither-here-nor-there news is that Cutler and Gross have a version out, but they're a bit too Dame Edna.
Polaroid Eyewear
Before there was digital, there was Polaroid. Long the choice of fashion stylists, agents and the impatient in general, the camera’s instant ‘snap and print’ function has made it both an ego-pleaser and vintage style icon.
Continuing the iconographic fashion connection in front of the lens, Polaroid Eyewear has just launched its vintage line, with frames that pay homage to eras of style and lenses that block UV light up to 400 nanomentres.
Karen Walker sunglasses
With two Melbourne days over 36 degrees and summer just around the corner, you can’t blame us for being hyper on the sunglasses front of late.
These frames from Karen Walker are what every good shade should be. Big enough to hide tired eyes, classic enough to suit any outfit and strong enough to survive a hot afternoon on the Pimms.
Dillon Optical
Coming into summer, a good pair of sunglasses are a precious commodity. At the pool they can be the difference between being mistaken for a pornstar or a librarian. If you are anything like us you will probably go through about three pairs over the next few months, neglecting them more than a child at Crown Casino.
Flint McQueen sunglasses
There’s no disputing that Steve McQueen is ‘The King of Cool’. But just what made the man? Some say it was his voice, some say his style, but those in the know say it was his sunglasses.
Inspired by the gallant men of the past, with a pair of McQueens you too can be cool (by association).
