Yes, yes. Serengetti. Seeing as it’s summer in my corner of the world, I feel the urge to do a series of posts on something I already post quite a bit about: Sunglasses. (Serengeti ones, to be exact). I promise we’ll return to our usual program of fashion after this interlude But hey, if you’re going to look cool this summer, what you need are some wicked shades to complete your look. Or, you can just look like a fashion hobo. Your choice.

I’m starting with one of my favourite sunglasses brands: Serengeti.

In case you haven’t figured it out, Serengeti is one of the coolest eyewear brands. They’re not particularly trendy – ever since I’ve been aware of them they have looked more-or-less the same, in fact. The thing is, they’re a nice touch if you’re going for that rich, professional look. They also make you look like you know what you’re doing – while wearing massive Armani space-age shades might work in Ibiza, Serengeti will make you belong anywhere there’s sun to protect against. They’re utilitarian, and great quality – this is what lends them a definite sense of authenticity.

Serengeti not only makes sunglasses that are classic and go with everything, but they’re well-thought-out from a utilitarian perspective. Serengeti shades are engineered so that they’re durable and comfortable. The ones pictured at left, from the Flex series, contour around the curves of your face for a fit so comfortable, you barely feel it.

If you have a rounder face, then you might prefer to go for the larger-lens aviator series. These ones are not my fave – I prefer sleeker shaped lenses. However, they’d look good on my square face as well (basically they’ll look good as long as your face is sort of wide, or squared-off) and they’re pretty cool – safari anyone?

Overall, this brand is good if you’re looking for classic shades. If you’re doing business in a sunny climate, these would be ideal. They’re also great if you’re looking for a pair of shades to last you a few seasons, or if you need a pair that you can throw in with any outfit – that’s what I like most about them, they’re all-purpose and pretty basic. Back next time with more on shades – I’m thinking Burberry. Over and out!

-FH.
