Two of my summer essentials are the Panama or the simple straw hat and the sunglasses. When it comes to eyewear, as much as I love everything Ray-Ban (I do own a couple of pairs myself), I am happier with my Polaroid Wayfarer-style sunglasses, because they are just as classic and especially because I don’t see them on every other person. The same goes for Persol. They are both brands with tradition (I don’t care for designer sunglasses) and, furthermore, they are more under the radar, which is one of the qualities I appreciate the most in fashion.

i really need to find a hat that works on me. i don’t know if they really don’t look good on me or not. when i was younger i couldn’t wear skirts/dresses. i thought i looked ridiculous in them (and everyone knew how uncomfortable i was and how silly it was that i was in a dress or skirt.). but then i just started wearing them, and voila, i wear them all summer long now. i just need to get a hat and wear it until it become comfortable. really with my fair complexion it would be a good idea!
I agree they are definitely a classic look– but still feel a little special!
