Keeping incognito is just as important as keeping out of the
sun’s glare these days. Whether casing out a scene or going undercover to avoid
bumping into an ex, a good pair of sunglasses can go a long way. And knowing
what to look for can make the search for the perfect pair much
easier. Investigate subdued retro styles (that aren’t as over-the-top as
last year’s Kanye West‑inspired
statement shades) and Ray-Ban Wayfarer styles, which have become less
conspicuous and more classic after a recent breakthrough
resurgence. Ladies should scrutinize the ever-glamorous oversized-square
shape made famous by Jackie O and sift through the many options of round,
mod-like frames. Check out a few of our favorites.
