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
