Fancy glasses with blue and pink shades

€9.90
Tax included

Two colours in a single lens. The tint starts pale blue at the brow and fades to a soft pink by the time it reaches the bottom edge, so you get the colour without committing to a coloured frame.

There is no rim holding the lens, which is why the outline looks the way it does: the glass itself is cut to a rounded polygonal shape and finished with a bevelled edge. The gold-tone bridge is flat and plain, the hinge pieces are openwork, and the arms are translucent brown, tapering towards the tip.

Why pick rimless sunglasses with blue and pink gradient lenses?

Because the colour sits in the glass rather than in the frame. A pink frame commits you to pink; here the pink sits only in the lower half of the lens, and it reads as a wash rather than a block. The blue at the top does the opposite job, cooling the whole thing down. Worth seeing what else comes with tinted lenses before you settle on one pair.

Where a pair like this earns its keep

  • Outdoor weddings and garden parties, where the bevelled facet edge catches the light in photographs
  • City weekends, pushed up into the hair between shops
  • Holiday packing, when one pair has to work with beige linen and with denim
  • Group photographs, if you would rather not be the one in the black frame

One styling note: a headscarf in one of the two lens colours lifts the whole thing, and a square scarf tied at the neck is the easiest version of that.

Cleaning without touching the edge

Clean from the middle of the lens outwards and leave the edge alone. Facets show scuffs sooner than a flat rim does, because each face throws light back at a slightly different angle. A dry cloth is enough, and the pair is better left lens-side up than face down on a table.
