Sunwear Focus: News Flash

Super-chic mirror lenses are still on the rise.

Published

on

IT’S BEEN FIVE years since Sarah Jessica Parker sparked a fashion frenzy with her gold-flash Mykita sunglasses in Sex & The City 2. But super lenses remain on the rise — and for spring/summer 2015, frame and lens will make a resounding statement together. Customers can treat themselves with boldly styled frame shapes complemented by sensational mirror-coated lenses. Today, every fabulous color flash is in vogue, from metallic to jazzy blue or a soft pink and lilac gradient. Available in all shapes and sizes and trending in children’s sunwear, too, the lenses have a dual role. Mirrors offer excellent performance and reflective advantages, not to mention fierce eye-popping fashion appeal and swagger.

ALL PRICES MSRP, EXCEPT WHERE NOTED.
