Earlier today we showed you a few true classics. There are many frames inspired by them but with a modern touch.
Modern Classics

Tom Ford Cary in Tortoise

Barton Perreira Corso Chestnut Antique Gold Brown Lens. VERY similar to the popular Oliver Peoples MP-2.

The Classics are a great investment and will look good for many occasions and for many years. If taken good care of, a classic sunframe may be passed down to the next generation. If you find one of these in your parent’s drawers, take great care of it.
These classics have been inspiration for many many sunglasses and still going strong.

Monday – Colorful!
Today we present colorful sunglasses. I think that everyone should have a colorful pair of sunglasses, to complement all these classic styles. A splash of color can really make difference. So why don’t you add some color this summer?

Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm
Two well dressed gentlemen at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm. Talking and enjoying the springtime, one of them wearing a classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer and the other wearing a Cutler & Gross. Good choices!
Our favorite Graz teams up with Chronicles of Never to make these very dark, think sunglasses. They really make a statement!
The other week Jasmin and I found this gentleman at Berns Salonger in Stockholm. First of all he has a great unique style, that you don’t see often here in Sweden. Besides, he wore both a hat and a pair of glasses – two of my favorite accessories. A great looking gentleman!
Oliver Peoples and Japanese fashion designer Takahiro Miyashita teamed up for a collection called the SoloIst.
All frames are made of deadstock vintage materials, aged metal parts. And there are clip on sunglasses to match! These warm and dapper frames are currently only released in Japan, can be baught here.

Le Corbusier, pseudonym for Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, the famous French-Swiss architect and artist known for contibuting to what is called “Modern Architecture”. He was very loyal to one type of frame, in fact that type of glasses are called Le Corbusier or “Architect frames”.
This type of frame has lots of character, is bold and simple. A great feature is that even strong prescriptions look great in a round think frame like this. Frames inspired by the Le Corbusier frame:
