Winter Sunglasses Are the Underrated Accessory You Can’t Overlook

Sunglasses aren’t an inherently winter accessory. In fact, they’re kind of the opposite of an inherently winter accessory. Winter sunglasses sound about as on point as winter sandals, winter wedges or winter sundresses—wrong, weird and totally inadvisable. Except unlike these other items, winter sunglasses are a real thing. They exist, en masse, and they’re far less oxymoronic than they initially appear. Anyone who’s stepped out in the snow know the sun’s blinding brightness certainly doesn’t discriminate by season.

Still, winter sunglasses are a genre of accessory we tend to overlook. We get so caught up in our winter scarves, our winter hats, our winter boots that we fail to stock up on this endlessly practical basic. It’s not like it isn’t sunny during the winter; it is, and when it’s snowy, that sunlight is hitting us from two different directions. Sunglasses don’t protect against heat—they protect against brightness—so why are we so apt to discount them the moment the temperatures drop below 50 degrees?

Thankfully, retailers have had the foresight to stock up on winter sunglasses, even though many of us haven’t had the foresight to shop them. Now, we can right our collective wrong—and do so in serious style. Because guys, the winter sunglasses selection is stacked with show-stopping pieces—new iterations of tinies, contemporary takes on age-old massive frames, timeless classics with colorful lenses, glitter details and way more. You can even buy literal visor sunglasses now—I’m not kidding.

Winter sunglasses are here to do you two serious solids: to protect your beautiful eyes from the sun’s shining rays, and to elevate your outfits. So just let them work their magic, all right?
