Normally Gucci sunglasses are a bit too gauche for my personal taste — what with their ornate, oversized golden signature “G”s on the temple and tinted lenses. With their new collection of “heritage” aviator sunglasses, however, Gucci have hit a successful combination of style and restraint. Aimed to resonate the hazy glamour of the 1960s, their three new heritage models (unisex 1627/S, men’s 1622/S, and women’s 3108/S) all feature the vintage red and green Gucci stripe, signature “G” logo on both temples (although not in gold, thankfully), and special edition leather case and carrying pouch. The similarly colored leather case features a striking signature stripe, and all the glasses are made in Italy. For Gucci, very reasonably priced at between $170 – $180.
