GQ Recommends: The Best Sunglasses Brands Are Always and Forever In Style

AVIDAN GROSSMAN & GERALD ORTIZ  | MAR 2023

“It makes sense that some of the best sunglasses on the planet would hail from the West Coast (and want to remind you of it at every turn), but Raen wears its California heritage lightly. The SoCal brand founded by brothers Justin and Jeremy Heit crowdfunded its way to overnight success in 2008, and has been hawking cheerful, classic frames designed with a surfer bro’s laid-back disposition ever since.”…

BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY SHADES

ALEXIS BENNETT  | JUN 2021

Sunglasses are the happiest accessory. Not only do they protect our eyes from the sun’s glaring rays but the best sunglasses brands also help to anchor your look, no matter what it is. A cat-eye pair will lend a vintage vibe, and steel-rimmed aviators will give you a dose of Americana, while round, colored glasses can instantly make you look more artistic. To put it simply, every outfit looks better when finished off with a pair of sunnies…

RAEN: FASHION-DRIVEN EYEWEAR

MAARTEN WEIDEMA | AUG 2021

Annaliese is wearing Keera, an oversized boxy frame by Raen Eyewear that stands out from the crowd with exaggerated angles and a blocky acetate design. We love how its fin-like temples give it a distinctive upswept look that falls somewhere between a cat-eye and 90s rectangular frames, which makes it double on-trend. The inspiration for their modern, fashion-driven eyewear comes from Justin Heit’s authentic roots in the Southern California skate and surf scenes, along with his lifelong passion for design…

MICHAEL CHARBONEAU
FRAME STYLE: MORROW

Whether you’re heading out on a long bike ride or lounging by the pool, no outdoor summer activity is complete without a good pair of shades. And if you’ve been toting around the same frames for years—or your good pair went overboard at the lake last season—now’s the perfect time to upgrade…


 
 

SUMMER’S BEST SUNGLASSES TRENDS ARE A BLAST FROM

MADELINE FASS   |   MAY 2020

Sunglasses might be a small accessory, but they have a large impact. A great pair of sunglasses can change your face, your style, and even boost your mood a bit. Just look at the rise of—and controversy around—tiny sunglasses for the proof. But those micro shades are no longer dominating personal style the way they did in summer’s past. Instead, the sunglasses market has exploded into stylish yet wearable shapes that combine refreshing new details with old classics, and quirky takes on trends we’ve seen resurface from the past.
