Summer’s Hottest Sunglasses

Fashion May 28, 2014

The statement accessory for the summer.

Karl Lagerfeld once said, “Sunglasses are like eye shadow. They make everything look younger and prettier.” He was right, plus good glasses are also a necessity to protect your eyes – and prevent wrinkles. This season’s hottest shades are mostly eco-friendly, with many helping to support communities in need. From animal prints, to techno color and retro styles, these are our faves this year.

Wild Love In Africa

Etnia Barcelona has paired up with photojournalist Steve McCurry, famous for his photograph “Afghan Girl”, for this campaign. The sunglasses are inspired by nature and bring animalistic prints, such as zebra, cheetah and leopard, along with elements such as wood and horns, to create a trendy tribal look that updates any outfit.

The eco-friendly, unisex collection supports the Africa Rising Foundation, donating 2 percent of global sales to the non-profit organization that works with youth to provide them with skills to empower them in the development of Africa. Glasses range from $269 to $299 USD.
