Christmas is coming up fast! So, why not plan ahead and get your gifts early so you can relax with a glass of eggnog? 

This year, buying gifts for the men in your life doesn’t need to be stressful. Forget the socks or Amazon gift cards and get them a pair of men’s designer sunglasses instead!

Why Men’s Designer Sunglasses Are the Ultimate Gift

We all know that buying gifts for men is not an easy task. That’s why sunglasses are perfect! They’re practical, offer UV protection, and can be worn year-round, from summer to winter vacations.

Plus, designer men’s sunglasses look really cool, and they show that you put time and effort into picking out your gift.

Top Picks for Your Dad

Your dad might be high up on your gift list, but let’s be honest, what do you get the man? Maybe he golfs, but golfing equipment is expensive! Maybe he fishes, but you’ll spend hours doing research to figure out what gear to buy. So, get him a pair of men’s designer sunglasses that suit his lifestyle!

These Costa Del Mar sunglasses look great and are made for excelling during a range of activities.

EZContacts customer Peter T. proves they are a well-rounded pair of shades:

Maybe your dad is at that point where he can just live his best life. His kids are grown (or just finally in school), and he has nothing to worry about anymore. So why not get him a pair of men’s designer sunglasses to match his chill?

These timeless Persol shades will do the trick.

“Persol has a certain look and feel like they are high class. I was shooting an event in the Caymans and Anthony Bourdain was there wearing these exact glasses.” 

Top Picks for Your Grandad

What do you get the man who has it all? Grandads don’t need more slippers, socks, and cigars; try a pair of cool shades instead that he can show off to his friends.

Sleek Shades for the Dapper Grandad

If your grandad loves his suits or looks like he’s straight out of a movie set, then get him a pair of men’s designer sunglasses to match his dapper vibe.

Top Picks for Your Brother

Brothers are often elusive figures who come around on Christmas ready to share their latest stories. A pair of designer sunglasses is the perfect gift for him; he can wear them on all his adventures!

Shades for the Cool, Sporty Brother

If your brother is a sports fanatic who you can never quite catch because he’s always on the move, then a pair of durable frames is a smart buy.

Sunglasses for the Boss Brother

If your brother loves looking good, whether he’s in a business meeting or on vacation, then give him a pair of Ray-Bans this Christmas. He’ll appreciate the classic design of the Clubmaster.

As EZContacts customer JD shared, this style looks good on a range of faces, making it a versatile gift:

“I like how it seems to fit any kind of clothing you pair it with. It also goes well with any type of face shape. My brother borrowed this from me and it suited him well (his face was more round than mine).”

Top Picks for Your Son

Assuming your son is past the age of begging for the latest PlayStation, give him a pair of men’s designer sunglasses this year, and watch his face light up.

Sunglasses for the Stylish Son

Choose a pair of shades that your son can wear for years to come. Go for a classic from a designer brand featuring a stylish yet wearable design.

Shopping for your husband is easy since the man already has the best gift: being married to you! But a pair of designer shades won’t hurt this Christmas.

Lightweight Sunglasses for Busy Men
