GQ Recommends: The Best Sunglasses Brands Are Always and Forever In Style
AVIDAN GROSSMAN & GERALD ORTIZ | MAR 2023
“It makes sense that some of the best sunglasses on the planet would hail from the West Coast (and want to remind you of it at every turn), but Raen wears its California heritage lightly. The SoCal brand founded by brothers Justin and Jeremy Heit crowdfunded its way to overnight success in 2008, and has been hawking cheerful, classic frames designed with a surfer bro’s laid-back disposition ever since.”…

BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY SHADES
ALEXIS BENNETT | JUN 2021
Sunglasses are the happiest accessory. Not only do they protect our eyes from the sun’s glaring rays but the best sunglasses brands also help to anchor your look, no matter what it is. A cat-eye pair will lend a vintage vibe, and steel-rimmed aviators will give you a dose of Americana, while round, colored glasses can instantly make you look more artistic. To put it simply, every outfit looks better when finished off with a pair of sunnies…
RAEN: FASHION-DRIVEN EYEWEAR
MAARTEN WEIDEMA | AUG 2021
Annaliese is wearing Keera, an oversized boxy frame by Raen Eyewear that stands out from the crowd with exaggerated angles and a blocky acetate design. We love how its fin-like temples give it a distinctive upswept look that falls somewhere between a cat-eye and 90s rectangular frames, which makes it double on-trend. The inspiration for their modern, fashion-driven eyewear comes from Justin Heit’s authentic roots in the Southern California skate and surf scenes, along with his lifelong passion for design…

Just look at the rise of—and controversy around—tiny sunglasses for the proof. But those micro shades are no longer dominating personal style the way they did in summer’s past. Instead, the sunglasses market has exploded into stylish yet wearable shapes that combine refreshing new details with old classics, and quirky takes on trends we’ve seen resurface from the past.
