Super Sunglasses

Ray Ban wayfarer-inspired eyewear has definitely reached fever pitch, and I must admit, I might be right at my threshold for the look. I wouldn’t mind making allowances for this line of shades from Retro Super Future. Based in Italy (arguably the mecca of stylish sunglasses), the company’s Super sunglasses collection takes the classic Wayfarer shape and wipes it clean of all embellishments and distinguishable markings. It’s all about the geometry of the shades–like the body of a freshly carved soapbox derby car.

They come in several slick styles, but the most emblematic of the Super approach are the Basic (looks just like it sounds), the slyly unique Flat Top (again, just like sounds), and my personal favorite, the Ciccio (a thicker, bolder version of the Basic, also comes in a flat-top look).  All are available in a dizzying aray of colors, including two-tone and neon categories. The summer’s nearly over, but there’s still time for one last sunny-weather fashion statement, so make it count.
