Let me start by saying these sunglasses are a total game-changer. The oversized frame gives off that effortlessly cool vibe without trying too hard. I’ve worn them everywhere—from brunch dates to beach trips—and they never fail to get compliments.

The fit is surprisingly comfortable for such a bold frame. The nose rest doesn’t slide (a miracle with my oily skin!), and the widened legs actually stay put without squeezing my temples. Unlike cheaper aviators I’ve owned, these don’t give me that ‘headache after two hours’ feeling.

What shocked me most was the lens clarity. I expected some distortion given the price point, but they’re crisp as my high-end pairs. Walking through a parking lot in glaring sunlight? Zero squinting. Bonus: no weird color tints that make everything look jaundiced.

Pro tip: They work shockingly well for driving. The arms are slim enough to not interfere with over-ear headphones, and the lenses cut glare without making shadows too dark. I keep a pair in my car permanently now.

Downside? They’re slightly heavier than premium brands, but honestly, after 20 minutes you forget about it. For the price, I’d buy three colors—already eyeing the tortoise shell version next.
