For bold and statement-making, metallic lenses and vivid red frames offer the perfect pop of drama to your outfit this fall and winter.

You’re Good to Go Year-round with Stylish White Sunglasses

Most style rules we’ve heard over repeated year after year simply no longer apply. You should never mix black and navy… Don’t mix and match different metals… Your handbag should match your shoes… And don’t wear white after Labor Day.

Many reports state this “no white rule” started at the turn of the century, quietly spread by the old-money elite crowd to distinguish themselves from the “nouveau riche.”

Another theory claims it simply was meant to signal the end of summer and the federal holiday was to remind people to switch out their summer linens with thicker fabrics.

In recent years, white has become one of the chicest colors to don year-round.

White pants were seen after Labor Day, all-white outfits were worn by the fashion elite, and white sunglasses started popping up as a new neutral to be embraced through each season. They act as a classic neutral and stylish upgrade from traditional black shades. Best of all, white sunglasses can be worn after Labor Day and beyond.

So go ahead and break antiquated fashion rules. We’ve made it easy with a roundup of the best white sunglasses to wear, well, whenever.

Sunglasses Trends Through the Decades

Written By Kara Keigan

Sunglasses styles have continued to change throughout the years. From oversized silhouettes on Jackie Kennedy to ultra-thin frames in the 90s, the trends evolve over time.

While sunglasses weren’t popularized until the 20th century, there are prototypes of sunglasses dating back to the Roman Empire when Nero would watch gladiator fights through glasses made of polished gems. However, it wasn’t until sunglasses were inexpensively produced in 1929 that people began to incorporate them into their everyday lives.

The trends of the time often took style cues from popular movies and the stars. From cult movie classes to feminist icons, there are often clear moments in pop culture that helped cement a trend of the decade.

Because fashion works in a cyclical motion, we often find trends having resurgences from decades ago, suddenly sprouting a new relevance. As you read about the trends over the years, you’ll recognize many of these from their third or even fourth time around the trend cycle.

Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to look at sunglasses trends through the decades.

Costa Del Mar Sunglasses: 5 Outdoor Favorites

Written By Kara Keigan

In 1983, a group of hardcore fishermen realized the sunglasses they were wearing were not protecting their eyes and meeting the needs of their adventures. After a fruitless search for sunglasses that would meet their standards, they decided to create their own. Costa del Mar was born.

Ever since, Costa Del Mar (or simply, Costa) has been the go-to brand of sunglasses for boaters and fishermen. The quality sunglasses were backed with the promise of durability and great customer service, an ethos of the brand looking to provide sunglasses for those who live to be on the water.

The mission of the brand has always been quite simple: create sunglasses for life’s great adventures. Through patented technology found exclusively in Costa del Mar lenses and frames, it’s safe to say they are succeeding.
