Vision Quest

The season's most sought-out unisex sunglasses are made in the shade. By Loryn Hatch

With the summer sun about to hit its zenith, there's nothing like finding an accessory that adds a little shine to a well-worn wardrobe. And what better way to salute the carefree days of the season than with a pair of the most buzz-worthy and color-conscious shades around? Super, the newest project from Pig Magazine's Sean Beolchini and the Beckerman brothers, has taken the classic Wayfarer style and upped the ante with a virtual rainbow of options, not to mention superior construction. Handmade in the legendary sunglass factories of Italy, each pair of slightly oversized frames is reinforced with Zeiss lenses and a gold-plated brand stamp inside. With so many hues to choose from—turquoise, cream, red, yellow, and blue—there's nothing to stop you from being a true Technicolor vision.

The Super Retro shades, $130, available at www.caliroots.com For more information on stateside availability, go to www.retrosuperfuture.com/blog

    Dirty Projectors—Bitte Orca

    Since the incredible album Rise Above, it has seemed like Dirty Projectors were poised to become the biggest indie band in the world. If that were the case, this album would be the one to put them over the top—it's the perfect pop distillation of their entire warped aesthetic...
