It’s official, maybe not on the seasonal calendar yet, but summer is here and with it comes that penetrating sun. So, in order for we gals to keep our faces looking gorgeous into the future, we need to protect it with great style and glamour at the same time. After all, looking good is a lifetime goal!
Two of the most popular fashion accessories that you should not leave home without when venturing into the summer sun are sunglasses and hats…both of which have definitely stepped up their style-game this season. Sunglass offerings are chocked full of the newest COLORS and SHAPES this season. We’ve combed the aisles of many of the city’s top retailers, Neiman’s, Tootsies, Saks and Nordstrom, as well their online stores to check it all out and the excitement and newness is there.
The following is our guide only, as the options are endless from all of your favorite designers. After all, what better way to add a designer touch to your summer wardrobes without breaking the bank, than through some great shades, available in many new shapes from color pops to retro looks to oversized lenses that were made to keep even the paparazzi away. Hats are the newest haute accessory for lunchtime soirees or for a day at the beach!
Whichever you choose, you know you will be adding just the right touch of glam that assures you a stylish approach to the warmer days ahead!
