Summer is just around the corner and already the days are getting longer and warmer - with it comes a plethora of sunglasses, each more beautiful than the last. It can be difficult not to lose ones head in this sea of optic pleasures, fortunately, "Statement Pieces" can be your guiding light during this difficult time... By our calculations, all things point to Tom Ford.
Or more specifically, to his "Claudia" style sunglasses. Featuring similar shaping to the current Hollywood to-die-for styles (think soft, round frames, large enough to hide a multitude of sins), you'd be forgiven into thinking "Statement Pieces" had just gone with the flow and gone for a direct carbon-copy approach. Tsk Tsk, fair reader, you obviously haven't been paying attention to our posts. Sure, the shape ARE cliche - but that's not where our interest stemmed from, in fact, it wasn't even the delightfully playful aviator-style rust brown gradient blue lenses that sealed the deal. It all came down to detail. Bamboo detail - to be specific.
These arresting shades give new meaning to the term "panda eyes" and are an exquisite statement piece. Available in 5 different colour variants the lilac/brown combo (as above) happen to be our favourite as the contrast between the two colours best highlights the texture of the bamboo. They can be worn with anything from a floral maxi-dress to a stark business suit and be sure to add them to your indoor repertoire as well, they would look great on perched on top of a messy up-do, or used to slick back needle-straight hair. At $520 they are a little bit on the pricey side but are a great investment - where as other shades may date, these are quirky enough to instantly become classics. These unusual sunglasses almost have a personality of their own, and everyone will be asking you where you got them from - dare you share your secret?
