3 Reasons To Rock Shield Sunglasses

Shield sunglasses never fail to make a statement. And whether you're looking to channel a futuristic vibe or tap into an early 2000s throwback look, shields are it. But there are more reasons to rock these sleek, wide-set frames than just their head-turning appeal, and we're about to break them down. Possibly the best attribute of shield sunglasses is their ability to amplify any style, regardless of the vibe. Whether pairing them with laid-back loungewear or adding a bold touch to tailored looks, these shades are not for the faint of heart and reward those daring enough to don them with indisputable coolness.

Boomerang Style

What's old is new again—especially when on the subject of shield sunnies. The best part? Low-rise jeans are not required to rock retro-inspired shield frames like our boldly oversized, statement-making STUDIO SESH frames. 

CHOCOLATE/DARK CHOCOLATE

Luxe Looks

Just because shield sunglasses draw inspiration from the '80s and the Millennial era doesn't mean they can't look downright luxe. In fact, this frame style has all the ingredients for serving high-end, fashion-forward vibes. Take our NIGHTFALL and NIGHTFALL REMIXED frames, for example—their sleek, oversized, wraparound silhouettes with a single seamless lens that glides effortlessly across the face offer an ideal combination of modern minimalism and understated elegance with a seriously luxurious edge.

Futuristic Vibes

Forget old-fashioned frames and take a page from your favorite sci-fi flick set a thousand years in the future; shield sunglasses are all about that seamless, aerodynamic vibe that screams "too cool for traditional." Angular lines and frameless edges? Check. Lightweight, high-tech materials? Double check. Shield sunglasses, like our dramatic, oversized TEMPO frames, are the shades of the future—made for those who aren't afraid to leave the basics behind.
