Celebrate This Iconic Eyewear Retailer’s 50th Anniversary — & Receive A Limited-Edition Gift

Chelsea Peng
·1 min read

Usually, a milestone birthday involves marking the unrelenting passage of time with an extravagant purchase (made by you and/or your most sympathetic friends). But in the case of Sunglass Hut turning 50, the exact opposite is true — and we’re bringing you all the details on how you can receive a limited-edition gift on their big anniversary.

To celebrate its status as an eyewear destination since 1971, the brand is offering a special promotion on two exclusive Ray-Ban styles, modeled by some of our ultra-chic friends below. Will you try the looks-slick-with-everything Wayfarer, the most recognizable sunglasses in the world? Or will it be the Jack, a hexagonal shape with rounded edges and a tech-tycoon-on-their-private-island attitude?

Whichever you choose, don’t miss out on picking up a custom artist-designed case so your new frames can sleep soundly (and in style) when they’re not protecting your retinas. How to cop? Shop the Fifth Avenue store in New York or the Beverly Drive location in L.A., and receive one as a gift with purchase of the Wayfarer or Jack. Giving presents on your birthday? Now that’s a legendary move.

  • 5 Styles Of Sunglasses That Are Trending For Spring

    Putting on my first-person hat here to let you guys know that I am normally not an eyewear gal. Sure, sunglasses are necesito for many fashion folk — but I find myself in a constant state of losing, dropping, and forgetting them in a mad dash to leave the house. However, this season is different. Having been inside for the better part of three months and rotating through the same six items of clothing as I traverse the four rooms of my apartment, I fear that I’ve lost my ensemble-making touch, and I need all of the accessorizing help that I can get. I’m suddenly craving chic eyewear to add some oomph to my uniform of the only (elastic-waist) pants that still fit me and one of several striped button-downs. There’s also the small matter of sunlight — I’ve been out of it for far too long, and my eyelids tend to go into squinty overdrive whenever the skies are clear. Ergo, friends, my eyes are peeled for sunglasses right now and I’m hot on the trail of what’s trending in the world of SPF (sun-protection fashion). I’m combing SSENSE for a futuristic translucent blue pair from Jacquemus, wishing there was a waitlist for Coco & Breezy’s circular Pram shades, and downloading Warby Parker’s try-on app in case I want to go the classic route. Join me on my eyewear journey as I investigate all of the sun-shielding trends that are percolating at our favorite retailers this spring — and, maybe, grab a pair (or three) for yourself while you’re at it. Oversized Round Sunglasses Shielding your eyes behind giant orbs of plastic is nothing new — but this season’s circular sunnies are borrowing from all kinds of influences. There’s everything from an ombre ’70s lense with geometric frames to a mod, sorbet-hued pair that recalls the swingin’ ’60s. Tortoiseshell Sunglasses With Colorful Lenses Think tortoiseshell means a one-way ticket to brown-town? Not so these days. We’ve seen tons of the classic mottled frames pared with light-colored lenses, creating an unexpected, best-of-both-worlds juxtaposition. 1970s Aviator-Style Sunglasses Whether it’s a subtle logo print across the lenses (?), a squared-off shape, or a lesser-seen acetate frame, these oversized shades borrow from the classic aviator while stylishly breaking tradition. Rectangular Sunglasses Enter a ’60s-meets-’90s timewarp this summer thanks to the growing plethora of colorful and cool rectangular sunglasses. Whether you choose a peach-pink frame or a traditional tortoiseshell, this shape will get you through the sunny months in style. Classic Sunglasses If you want your shades to blend in, you’re in luck — there are plenty of pared-back options in the sun-o-sphere. Look for veteran brands like Le Specs and Ray-Ban, or streamlined-silhouette options from Warby Parker for a look that’s simply cool.

  • 21 Pairs Of Oversized Sunglasses That Will Be BIG This Spring

    Thanks to a supercharged start to spring, we're already feeling the effects of all those sunshine-filled days to come — and, after months (or has it been years?) of staying inside, we're ready to step into the light. But, before we do, we need to map out a protection plan for our screen-fatigued eyeballs: really big sunglasses."We definitely saw a nod to the '70s come through this season and that is being reflected on accessories with oversized bags, jewelry, and of course eyewear being key to the look," says Heather Gramston, head of womenswear at Browns. From Bottega Veneta to Versace to Gucci and beyond, customers are all over this super-sized trend, and for good reason; Gramston explains the extra-large hype as the materialization of a collective boost in our post-lockdown moods. A hopeful outlook, after all, is certainly deserving of a well-suited pair of shades. "They are a great season-less buy and with days getting warmer, and the fact that [restrictions are being eased] in various parts of the world, our customers are getting more and more excited about dressing up, going out, and investing in bold, loud styles that have impact."We went ahead and rounded up a collection of the trendiest oversized frames for you and your peepers' consideration ahead. So put down those screens, pack up the blue light glasses (at least temporarily), and step out into the sun.At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff.
