Step into the sunshine with the most fashionable sunglasses of this summer. This season’s eyewear trend is all about bold shapes and colours that elevate your look. From oversized frames and retro-inspired designs, these sunglasses are the ultimate accessory to make a statement whether you are on the go or on a patio. We scoured the internet but found some of our favourites at Cristall Opticians in Toronto. They have the fashionable sunglasses from designers that you know like Tom Ford and Stella McCartney, but what is impressive are the smaller, trend setting brands that you can find there like Selima Optique.
The co-owners of Cristall Opticians are Alison Dressler and Gina Kay; sisters who are also opticians. They have a passion for eye health and you can get eye examinations right on the premises with one of their optometrists.
They also have a passion for eye fashion and you will see that in the wide selection frames that are available and best of all, they range in prices so you can find something that you love from designer to affordable. The location is so popular, that it was selected as Toronto Star’s 2021 Reader’s Choice Diamond Award for optical stores.
We picked seven of our favourite styles for summer 2024 and beyond, because fashionable sunglasses are a year-round staple:
Tom Ford FT1077 – Suggested Retail Price: $660.00
This classic shape works for men and women.
Tom Ford Sunglasses – Suggested Retail Price: $625.00
We loved these ladies sunglasses from Tom Ford. They have a vintage feel without being dated.
Selima Optique Karma – Suggested Retail Price: $550.00
Men need to feel fashionable too. These sunglasses by Selima Optique were a collab with artist Paola Pivi. The unique design is fashion forward, yet approachable.
Selima Optique Corto Sunglasses – Suggested Retail Price – $585.00
Aviators never go out of style, but if you want yours to be more fashion forward, try coloured lenses. They make a statement while still letting you enjoy a classic style.
Selima Optique for June and July: Michelle – Suggested Retail Price – $585.00
If you prefer a rounder shape, Selima Optique for June and July might just be the right pair for you. This style gives off an Iris Apfel vibe. Become a fashion icon yourself with these sunglasses.
Tiamo Sunglasses – Suggested Retail Price $300.00
Retro cat’s eye sunglasses are a staple. Our fashion tip – if you find a pair that looks good on you and you love them, get them in more than one colour.
Anisa Sunglasses – Suggested Retail Price – $325.00
If a retro cat’s eye just isn’t for you, we love the more modern look of these Anisa sunglasses.
