Sunglasses to Transform Your Winter Look

Written By Kara Keigan

Wearing sunglasses in the winter is often a topic for discussion. Some argue sunglasses aren’t really needed when the sun’s not shining. For the record, we want to remind you that UV protection is needed year-round.

While there are numerous reasons to put on a pair of shades in the winter (UV protection and protection from snow reflection to name a few), sunglasses can also act as a great fashion accessory to dress up your face and elevate your look. In fact, outside of the fact sunglasses are functionally necessary year-round, sunglasses are also a style power move, taking your bored tried-and-true puffer to runway ready with a simple swipe of an accessory.

Prada Sunglasses and Glasses: Our Customers’ Favorites

Written By Kara Keigan

Prada is one of the most famous brands in fashion history. With the rise of prominent logos over the years, Prada’s instantly recognizable triangle trademark is often seen on everything from the iconic nylon bag to trendy Prada sunglasses.

Leather goods were the centerpiece of the brand when Mario and Martino Prada founded it in 1913 as Fratelli Prada, translating to Prada Brothers. Steam trunks, handbags, and animal goods were imported from England and were the first products the company focused on.

Mario Prada believed a woman should not work outside the home and did not want any of his female family members to join the company. Regardless of this philosophy, his son showed no interest in the family business, so his daughter, Luisa, joined and successfully ran Prada for twenty years before passing it along to her daughter, Miuccia.

Prada transformed into the luxury brand we know today when Miuccia met Patrizio Bertelli, a 24-year-old Italian leather businessman, who convinced Miuccia to focus instead on luxury luggage pieces. Another important business lesson he passed along — instead of importing from England, focus on locally sourced materials. It was this business decision that was formative in the rise of this traditional luxury brand and the Prada we know today.

Fashion is instant language.”

From Milan to New York to London to Paris, fashion month is a time for designers to present the collections they’ve been tirelessly working on so the rest of the world can appreciate their craftsmanship and take note of upcoming fashion trends.

Sunglasses offer another area where you can try on trends, without committing to strong feminine or masculine details. Everyone needs a pair of sunglasses to protect themselves from UV rays, and now they feature just as much of a style statement as their effective protection.

Ray-Ban is one of the top-selling unisex brands, citing that less than 5% of their styles in sunglasses or eyeglasses are for either men or women. Aviators, Wayfarers, and Clubmasters… these timeless frames offer style for the masses.

Unisex sunglasses are often timeless as the classic shapes that suit men or women are the types of flattering styles to stick around. We’ve rounded up four popular unisex sunglass styles that flatter anyone and everyone to shop below.
