Chasing the Sun

As the southern hemisphere begins its descent into the cool, dark winter months we're taking our last opportunities to enjoy the sun's rays. Before we start the annual hop from one warm safe-haven to the next there's still a chance to enjoy time at the beach without being blown away by a cat. 4 gale and developing a chill for good measure.

With our expanded range of eyewear you've got a choice of shapes, sizes and finishes to choose from when chasing the perfect pair of shades.

→ GO BIG, GO BOLD

Styles like the Dolores from Garrett Leight, AHLEM's Trudaine and Nicholas Daley's collaboration with Sub Sun all come in heavy with the strong look. These shapes are great especially in sunglasses where the stakes are lower, allowing you to go for something a lot more playful without ending up looking like that kooky drama teacher that was always a little too excited about one of their students getting a guest appearance on Neighbours.

→ COLOUR THEORY

Maybe you prefer a more conventional shape but you're keen to inject a little bit of colour into your look—enter the Robotnik from Monokel in Camel Yellow, or the Apollo in a Matte Lilac acetate that's not too overbearing.

→ PLAY IT SAFE

Safe isn't a bad thing—there's a reason why some looks are classic. Garrett Leight cut their teeth making classy, understated designs with fantastic finishing. The Cyprus and Ace are both great examples of a sunglass frame you can wear every day and not have them be too flashy without being dull.

→ TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

Shopping online is fun but glasses can be veeeery personal. If you're one of those picky people—you know who you are—then do your best to get down to our store at 69 Flinders Lane and try them on. You'll probably end up going for a pair you didn't even think you'd like.
