Jackie O isn't the only member of the Kennedy family dynasty remembered for her timeless taste in fashion. In fact, her husband John F. Kennedy was a style icon in his own right, wearing classic pieces throughout his lifetime. One of his staples? The American Optical Eyewear's Saratoga sunglasses.

Whether he was in a well-tailored suit or dressed more casually in a polo and khakis, the former U.S. president was always sporting these classic tortoiseshell specs with green lenses. He was photographed on numerous occasions with them, including at America's Cup in 1962 and while sailing. And now that gloomy, frigid days are numbered and sunny, warmer days are just around the corner, it couldn't be a better time to add a touch of polished American style to your wardrobe with these exact shades.

For President's Day Weekend, AO Eyewear is offering 10% off on all sunglasses on their site with the code president10. What that means is the Saratoga, which typically sells for $200, will be available to buy at a more budget-friendly price for a limited time. The classic frames come in JFK's go-to colorway, but you can also snag them in black, yellow, gray, brown, and red. Shoppers can even customize them based on size (JFK wore the 52-19-145 mm) and have the option of choosing polarized lenses. But perhaps the best part of all? The Saratoga's are as timeless as it gets, so you can guarantee you'll have these in heavy rotation for years to come.

Just one thing: The Special President's Day Weekend sale runs from Saturday, February 18 through Monday, February 20, so if you're in the market for new sunnies, now is the time to strike.
