First off, these sunglasses are WAY cooler in person than I expected! The retro square aviator design is such a mood—I feel like I stepped out of a 70s fashion magazine every time I wear them.

The UV400 lenses are no joke. I wore them on a beach day and my eyes felt zero strain, even with that brutal midday sun. Plus, the clarity is insane—no weird distortions like some cheap shades.

Comfort level? 10/10. The nose bridge doesn’t dig in, and the arms don’t squeeze my head (finally!). They stayed put during my rollerblading disaster attempts too.

Packaging deserves a shoutout—came with this cute microfiber pouch that’s now permanently living in my purse. The case feels luxe enough to gift (but sorry mom, I’m keeping these).

Only note: The lenses are more ‘stylish afternoon shade’ than ‘blinding desert sun’ level dark. Perfect for city life but might squint at the actual beach.

PS: Got three compliments before even leaving my apartment building. That’s worth the price alone.
