Don’t Back Down From Bold Brown Sunglasses

From classic aviators to timeless wayfarers, you’ve amounted a large collection of shades in your signature hue of black. But have you considered a neutral that’s just as timeless but more playful than your stark tint of choice? When it comes to your sunnies, don’t be a Debbie Downer – opt for brown frames that are anything but lame.

Let a pair of hazel sunglasses frame your perception on the not-so-basic hue you thought you knew.

Come Out Of The Shell

When it comes to your cherished sunnies, step out from your comfort zone with a pair of tortoiseshell round sunglasses, a refreshing upgrade to the basic frames you once sported. Look for subtle finishings of tortoiseshell on the rims or stems for an elegant accent to any one of your ensembles. The understated motif combined with the interesting shape of the shades makes for a contemporary accessory to accompany your fashion-forward culottes and crop top ensembles.

Not So Basic Instinct

Feeling feisty? Slip on a pair of leopard cat-eye shades for a throwback to the pinnacle of pin-up style. If you’re not ready to integrate a cheetah-print staple into your wardrobe, then look to a pair of leopard frames to be your backup plan. With the sunglasses acting as a neutral item, the versatility of this accessory holds no bounds. Wear it with relaxed overalls or dial up the sex appeal in a flirty mini dress.

Riot Of Colors

Long gone are the days when the color palette for our sunglasses was limited to just neutrals. Embrace colorblocking wayfarers with a number of combinations, from mirrored shades and coffee-colored stems to mahogany-tinted lenses and neon stems. Play up the quirky vibes of your sunglasses by wearing them with a graphic tee or a larger than life, pop art-inspired dress.

In the past, you and brown may have not seen eye to eye. But with a unique array of sunglasses, you’ll come to view brown as a hue that’s anything but toned down.

Don’t be blinded by the rep brown gets and slip on a pair of chestnut sunnies to disprove the haters.
