To all the naysayers who think sunglasses should be reserved strictly for summer, we beg to differ. It’s true, there are far fewer hours of daylight to properly show off your frames from December to February. But there are also a significantly higher amount of liquor-fueled holiday parties, which require quick recovery time. May we offer up the category of holiday sunglasses? A little bit of shine, a touch of sparkle, and dark lenses will do the trick for those morning-after-the-holiday-bash eyes, while adding some festive cheer to the mix. So whether you plan on taking the lavish route with Linda Farrow’s burnished gold and snakeskin pair or Le Specs’ chunky subdued take on the look, there’s a pair of glitzy glasses for all.
