FOR HER
1. TIFFANY
The Tiffany Heart Tag is a classic when it comes to Valentine’s Day. Go for a twist on the traditional look with the Tiffany T sunglasses, complete with a bold butterfly silhouette and the silver Heart Tag on the temples. While you might wear your heart on your sleeve, these shades wear them on their arms.
2. GUCCI
Gucci’s new I Love You sunglasses say everything, literally. Featuring an oversized retro shape that comes in white or red, the limited edition model is a special decision for the 14th of February.
3. SWAROVSKI
Give her room to shine this season in a pair of Swarovski crystal sunglasses. These Barbie pink frames feel perfect for the day while their subtle wraparound silhouette creates a contemporary feel for any outfit.
4. CHLOÉ
Heart-shaped sunglasses for Valentine’s Day? Seems fitting. Plus, these metal sunglasses from Chloé are foldable and ultra-lightweight. Ideal for those who need their sunnies on the go.
5. CUTLER AND GROSS
If the one you’re shopping for isn’t into hearts and pastels, dare we suggest Cutler and Gross’s Love and Death sunglasses? Made in collaboration with London jewelers The Great Frog, these limited edition shades feature a 24K gold skeletal hand grasping a rose. ‘Till death do us part indeed.
FOR HIM
1. CARTIER
If you consider him a sort of eyewear connoisseur, there’s no doubt he wouldn’t adore Cartier’s sunglasses. Real wood arms highlight this rimless style, while the C de Cartier makes a noteworthy appearance along the profile.
2. JACQUES MARIE MAGE
Forever bold, Jacques Marie Mage Yves sunglasses are a surefire win to that special someone’s heart. Bonus points if he is a Saint Laurent fan. After all, these shades are inspired by the beautiful designs of Yves Saint Laurent himself.
3. KUBORAUM
Need to think outside the box? Consider Kuboraum’s folding sunglasses from their Machinery collection. They’re experimental, industrious, and certainly eye-catching. The Berlin brand has perfected its one-of-a-kind frames, and these are no different.
4. OLIVER PEOPLES
Searching for something smart and sartorial? Consider Oliver Peoples O’Malley sunglasses. A sort of icon among the brand’s collections, these particular shades have been refreshed since their first launch in the ‘80s. They take their namesake from Peter O’Malley, the former owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
5. GARRETT LEIGHT
For the styler who airs on the side of classic but isn’t against a contemporary feel, we’d consider the collaboration sunglasses from the Garrett Leight x Andre Saraiva collection. The panto shape is timeless while the pastel juniper hues add Saraiva’s contemporary and playful perspective. We have a soft spot for the heart details on the frame’s front, too.
