The Shady Series, Part I: An Introduction
Although many people think of sunglasses only as a summer accessory, they’re actually important year-round. You should wear them in the fall whenever it’s clear and sunny, and in the winter when glare is reflected off of the snow. In both cases, proper sunglasses will provide important protection for your eyes.
Thus, a good friend of mine, Agyesh Madan, and I thought we’d publish a special five-part series on sunglasses. Together, we’ll discuss how to determine quality and what models you should consider. We’ll also cover how you can choose an appropriate pair of frames, as well as how to maintain your glasses once you get them.
Like The Necktie Series, I hope these posts will be a resource for those who want to know how things are constructed, how to make the best purchases, and how to take care of their items. Sunglasses are often neglected by menswear writers, and we hope to fill that void. Come back tomorrow for part two of this series, where we’ll talk about how to determine quality in a pair of sunglasses. It should be a great series!
