It used to be that a mere flash of mirrored sunglasses instantly recalled Erik Estrada cruising on his buff bike in an '80s scene from Chips. Well, that cheesy stigma is mostly gone, but the bit of glossy Hollywood that remains makes mirrored shades all the more appealing this summer. Ray Ban, Creatures of Comfort, and Marni have all crafted shades that not only reflect a more modern kind of mirrored lens (we love the nifty color gradations!), they get that flashy movie-star glamour thing just right. Check out our top picks for getting double-vision this summer and right into fall.
