If you’ve ever caught yourself staring at a piece of paper for way too long, wondering what you’re going to buy everyone on that list, you’re 100% not alone. I’ve been in this situation way more times than I’m willing to admit, which is why this season, I’m turning to some of fashion’s finest to guide me. Between some of Who What Wear’s editors and two fashion influencers, we were able to boil it down to this: You can never go wrong with a pair of sunglasses. Luckily, we all have direct access to Sunglass Hut, where all of the products are carefully curated, so you know the pair you pick will be a fan favorite. Whether you have a brother on your list who is an avid aviator kind of guy or your best friend has been hinting at needing a new pair of sunglasses for a while, the breadth of products for you to choose from is virtually limitless. Here are what five of my friends are gifting this season.
I can totally see these on my mom—she’s all for a cute tortoiseshell style. They’re something she could keep for years and years.
I’ve seen these on a lot of fashion girls, and I’ve always loved the shape. If I don’t give them to my roommate, these might just have to make their way into my wardrobe. (I’m telling you: I can’t be tamed.)
My friend is always on-trend, so I’ve been browsing through accessories that feel ultra-stylish for the moment but also have a classic feel to them. This is definitely a winner.
This stylish pair of shades would be right up my husband’s alley. They’re absolutely timeless—he’d use them for years and years.
The colorful design detail on the side is what makes this pair of sunglasses particularly noteworthy. It’s unexpected and forward. (Ideal for my husband’s style of classic with a twist.)
This is another pair of sunglasses I know my husband would adore given the sleek nature. A great staple pair of shades.
A beautiful and classic pair of sunglasses for every day. I would gift this to my mom because she would love the silver details and how timeless and chic these are.
I would gift these to one of my best friends. Her style is feminine and minimal and these would be perfect for her. The pop of blue adds a little bit of color, and these would be beautiful with her neutral wardrobe.
It might be the time to treat myself! Round sunglasses always stand out to me, and I love how these are a little bit edgy—great to elevate a more simple style.
I would give these as a gift to my dad. He’s a super-confident guy, and I think the strong brow bar would really bring that out.
I would totally gift these to my mom. Some of my favorite photos of her style are from the ’90s, and I think she still carries a lot of those influences into her style today.
These would be perfect for my older sister. She is so unique and cool, and I know she would rock these.
I love these Ray-Bans so much, and I immediately thought of my cousin, Kathy, who appreciates a good pair of sunglasses like no one else. These are at the top of my list because they’re still classic but not the typical Ray-Bans most people have.
These sunnies would be perfect for my co-worker Caitie, whose style is classic with a bit of fun, vintage glamour. She’d also love the touch of tortoise detail!
I’d get this pair for my aunt. They are chic and sophisticated, just like she is!
