FASHION STORY: City Shades – Sunglasses for every moment in the City

The time is now; neither future nor past. We live as we survive and survive as we live. The city, in a nation filled with hope, provides a type of oasis in the desert of disparity. As we consider ourselves travellers of fashion with a sense of style as a destination, we have to armour up and clad ourselves with the best of the survival gear we can find. Sunglasses provide a sense of protection against the glares of mundane humans who move from post to post.

As you move from social circle to society status, what you wear on your face says as much about you and your future as what you wear on your back. Sunglasses have long done more than just protect from the sun’s UV rays. They have become an accessory that distinguishes taste from attempts of being something you’re not. With the fashion spread ‘City Shades’, we look at great fresh pairs of sunnies that hold the same verbatim as your threads.

In the city, it’s kill or be killed. It’s a jungle like no other. To guard against the frightful bite of enemies, you need to garner sunglasses that chase the uncouth away. Take note, gear up, and face the future now with an added glamour that only the fashion brave can do.
