With the holiday season upon us, it’s time to start considering gifts for all the special people in your life. Seemingly endless options and a long list of loved ones to buy for can be overwhelming, but luckily we have a simple solution that will meet your gift-giving needs and be sure that you outshine all of the rest: sunglasses!
Even in the winter months, sunglasses are a perfect gift. Not only do sunglasses offer crucial protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays, but they are a chic, affordable luxury that you can tailor to your loved one’s personal style. Additionally, unlike clothes, you never have to worry about sunglasses being too large or too small; one size can truly fit all!
Check out our top picks for all the friends and family on your list!
For Him
These Randolph shades offer a fun twist on the classic aviator look: green lenses to reduce eye fatigue! And with comfortable temple tips, adjustable nose pads, and optional polarized lenses, they’re sure to be a winter, summer, spring, and fall winner.
For Her
Following the release of Netflix’s documentary “Beckham,” Posh Spice is having a moment, and there’s no better way to pay homage to the pop icon than by sporting a pair of shades from her line. This pair emulates Victoria’s own preferred chunky style and is adorned with a subtle logo and full UV lenses for smart and chic eye protection.
For the Kids
Sunglasses make a perfect gift for kids, too! In fact, because children’s eyes are more sensitive than adult’s, sun-protected eyewear is of the utmost importance for little ones. These Frogskins XXS from Oakley are made for active kids, featuring a narrow and high bridge fit to help them stay put. Better yet, they come in eight fun color combinations!
For the Athlete
These Smith Reverb ChromaPop Sunglasses are perfect for the adventurer or athlete in your life! With lightweight frames, auto-lock hinges to keep them in place, and secure nose pads, you can count on this sleek design to stay put on a run, hike, or bike ride.
For the Tech Lover
Not sure what to get for the tech-lover in your life? We recommend these Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers. Not only do they include UV-protected lenses, a built-in HD camera, Meta AI voice control, open ear audio, and calling and messaging capabilities, but they come in a cool, transparent matte blue, too.
