4 Essential Sunglasses for Men (Try These Stylish Shades!)
About this video
The Gazette team explores four essential sunglasses styles every man should know: Aviators, Wayfarers, Clubmasters, and Pantos. They provide practical guidance on frame selection, lens colors, and formality levels, along with general tips on fit, UV protection, and corrective lens options.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team recommends avoiding oversized sunglasses and prioritizing UV protection over trends, as well as considering prescription options like transition lenses or clip-on sunglasses for those who need corrective vision
- The Gazette team argues that Aviators work best in wireframe with cool-tone metals for casual wear, or in acetate frames with warm tones for formal settings, while Wayfarers offer versatility across all formality levels
- The Gazette team suggests Clubmasters create a relaxed aesthetic and work universally as sunglasses despite being proportionally challenging as clear frames, and that Pantos blend sophistication with preppy styling
