Father’s Day is the perfect time to replace your dad’s favorite pair of trusty-old shades with something thoughtful and new.
Shopping for sunglasses (and gift-giving in general) is a matter of understanding the recipient’s style and interests. The best gifts are those your loved one may never have picked out themselves but show you know them as a person.
Want to pick a pair of sunglasses that embraces your dad’s personal style? Let’s take a shot at identifying something about your father that will give us a hint what style shades to buy the old man.
Classic dad
Your dad’s confident and cool but not fashion-forward. He’s bound to appreciate timeless frames in aviator styles. Classic frames from trusted brands like Rayban and Persol are likely to please.
