Gimme Some Shade

Fashion accessories are just as important as pairing together a proper fitted shirt and trousers. Fit, style, colour, and quality are all factors that should be considered. Choosing certain accessories may also depend on your lifestyle, the occasion, and even seasonal climate.

Expressive eyewear is an excellent way to show your personal style, whether it be classic or avant-garde. Nowadays, there are a multitude of genre variations to choose from: the vintage gent, the savvy sophisticate, the artful chap, the fearless trendsetter, and many more!

Sunglasses have become accessory finishers to outfits. They can be statement pieces and tie a complete look together like the perfect shoe. But, choose wisely, because just like your pearly whites smiling at the world, your eyewear is also one of the first things seen from afar.

If hi-tech, dramatic, and one-of-a-kind describes your style, then the specialty eyewear line from Colors of Birch is probably for you. Finnish designer, Pekka Salokannel uses a 3D printing design on nylon to produce fashion-forward eyewear. Favourite model styles in frames and sizes can also be exclusively requested by the customer. You may also purchase his eyewear at the iMakr store in London.

Designers, Erik & Emilia, behind the Swedish eyewear brand E&E Glasses makes it quite easy for fashion enthusiasts to want to don spectacles anytime of the year, no matter what location! Their range of unisex sunglasses styles and colours are just a couple of reasons to adore the stylish brand. Have a look for yourself. Here are my favourites!

    Wow those first two pairs are so futuristic and certainly different. They make my Ray Ban Wayfarers seem boring. Even though I have tried different styles and brands, it's the Ray Bans that I go back to!

    I am a big fan of sunnies as an accessory and honestly am completely dependent on them (I never leave home without a pair). Not only are they key for protecting the eyes, they can also cover up a tough night out!

    I usually break my sunglasses for some reason. But I did manage to keep my Kate Spade and D&G styles from getting broken, which I am very surprised. haha.

    OH MY GOSH, those first two sunnies are GORGEOUS! I haven't worn sunnies in a while because of my prescription glasses, and just never had the time or thought to getting Rx ones, but I've just popped on over to Warby Parker to look at theirs and I might be ordering one soon!

    Great post, Madison! I've got quite the collection but for some reason didn't pick up a new pair this year after my Tom Ford disaster at the end of last summer (they didn't fit and couldn't return them). Anyway, I just saw that pair with the leopard hanging over one frame on style.com this morning–they're so over the top but I think I would wear them anyway 🙂

    Madison, I always like to see people wear unique sunglasses and eyewear. It really says a lot about their personality. I purchased a pair of Chanel cat eye sunglasses about 4 years ago and they are still my go to. Just simple and chic. I want an oversize pair (just some cheapies). Great post doll. Wishing you a wonderful week.

    The first one looks like a specimen under a microscope 😀 I must say, sunnies are the accessories that I don't really spend on. My best ones are a pair of Gucci given by ex-colleagues for my bday. I wanted generic browns but my lovely gay mates picked green as apparently it suited me more. My opinion didn't matter. Hahaha. I'd love some cat's eye but doesn't suit me–haven't seen a cat with a round face 😀 From this selection, I'd go for the one on the 2nd to the last photo. Have a lovely week Madison xx
