Shades of Summer
Now that it’s officially summer (despite the annoyingly chilly temps), you’re probably aching to splurge on warm-weather goods: new sandals, tank tops, shorts, sunglasses. But just hold off a teeny bit longer on those shades — trust us. By the end of the month, Margot & Camille Optique owner Valerie Vittu will be stocking the shelves of her cozy eyewear boutique with Tom Ford’s just-released line of sunglasses. All sleek lines and non-scratchable glass lenses, the shades in his Sun Collection are ever-so-slightly retro — cool aviators and acetate styles for him and softly square wrap-arounds for her.
Vittu will be carrying 13 of Tom Ford’s delicious designs — including this rectangular T44 Christopher pair, $395, shown — most of which come in several colors (shiny black, rich tortoiseshell, transparent olive green). So, for the next two weeks, satisfy your summer shopping urges with flip-flops and breezy sundresses — once you’ve slipped on your new pair of shades, you’ll be happy you held out. And isn’t Tom Ford worth the wait?
