Tech details, design blend for innovative looks

Sunglasses may be the ultimate fashion accessory, and that’s true like never before for men. Vintage traits and classical shapes have been reworked with absolute precision and attention to detail. Aviator and wayfarer-inspired square styles reign this fall, with toned-down color palettes, subtle fade effects and lots of premium metals. The tech is never far from sight, with high-quality lenses, nose pads and temple ends emphasizing performance and comfort. Look for innovative design features and finishes including double bridges, keyholes and other clever aesthetic touches for the modern man. — CLODAGH NORTON
