21st century fashion is all about reinstating the classic by redefining the style elements of the classic era. The time-honored Windsor is crafted into a grander, modern version with contemporary construction techniques to be christened as Phipps. A lot rides on the material of glasses that saves your face from the harsh sun.

Born in the 1940s, these brow-line glasses, were an instant hit for the next couple of decades and enjoyed popularity in stylings of iconic personalities like those of Cary Grant, Colonel Sanders, Lyndon B. Johnson, amongst others.

Haskell is history recreated. Born in the 40s, these flash-mirrored sunglasses were a typically ‘cop’ thing. By the next few decades, they found way into the wardrobes of the rich and famous, remember Robert Redford in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”? Or John Lennon in his classic style sunnies in mirrored lenses?

Whether or not they are inspired by the popular Eastman Kodak colorations of old films, Warby Parker’s Eastman sunglasses are a sure reinvention of the classic square silhouettes, with an angular browline and a keyhole bridge.

A vintage look with a modern twist, these Bennett shades are bigger, bolder, and more beautiful. An ode to the 70s and 80s, these cool sunnies with a sleek double brow bar, are all that you need to be the best dressed babe (or dude) on the beach, by the pool or just out and about.

Warby Parker cheerswomen power with these reinvented classic- Batten Large. Why the name? Well, the original meaning of ‘batten’ which means ‘a long flat strip of squared timber (or metal) that holds something in place’ is quite relevant to what these sunglasses (or any sunglasses) do.
