Sun is shining and so are you

The large elegant glamorous Jackie Kennedy styles will always remain just like the good old aviators and the bold boyfriends sunglasses but if you want to steal the show this Summer you need something completely different….

We guess you spotted them on Instagram already as the fashion influencers massively went for this trend. And honestly, they are really amazing and will do good on every beach and festival from Bloemendaal to Ibiza. These bold rectangular sunglasses in nice dark colours or fresh pastels are the musthaves of this Summer. These specific ones are from the artistic Spanish brand Etnia Barcelona, the Australian trendsetter AM Eyewear and our very own Amsterdam-based Scotch & Soda and we want them all. What’s your favorite?

Have you got your father’s day present ready yet? If not, why not buy him a fresh pair of sunglasses this year? It’s the perfect accessory for every father, including yours...

Of course, not all fathers are the same. But in the world of sunglasses, this doesn’t matter at all. So many fathers, so many brands and styles to choose from.

For the fathers who only leave the house when they are impeccably dressed and who follow all latest the fashion trends, we suggest you have a look at for instance the collections of Tom Ford, Balmain, Scotch & Soda, AM Eyewear and Calvin Klein. Here, you’ll definitely find a pair that complements your father’s fashion style.

For fathers that love being outside and that value functionality above anything else, we recommend you check out the sunglasses from Rēvo, Serengeti  or Rodenstock. They not only look good but also protect your father’s eyes from harmful UV rays.

Some fathers seem to have everything and buying a gift for them seems almost impossible. But even in this case, a new pair of sunglasses is the perfect gift idea. With a pair of sunglasses from Porsche Design, Jaguar, Cazal, or Ørgreen, you’ll give your father a luxury accessory that never goes out of style.

Going surfing on a doctor’s order. How cool is that? It may sound a bit strange, but surfing is actually very helpful in improving the quality of life of children with Down Syndrome, ADHD, and forms of autism...

That is why in 2014 the Surf Project was founded. All over the coast of The Netherlands, surf lessons are given to children with Down, autism, and ADHD. The sea has the power to make you forget about any problems you may experience in everyday life. Learning how to surf helps you gain confidence. Confidence that not only shows when in the water, but also in other situations. Because the biggest lesson in learning how to surf lies in overcoming obstacles. And that can be extra difficult when you are dealing with physical and cognitive challenges daily. But once you’ve learned how to ride a wave, you built up the confidence to also try and learn other new things!

The Surf Project works with psychologists and psychiatrists who monitor progression with the children and research the benefits of surfing therapy. With the research, they hope to contribute to making surfing a standard form of therapy for children who need it. The actual surf lessons are given by a large group of dedicated volunteers. To continue the work they do, the Surf Project needs sponsors.

And that is where RĒVO comes in. RĒVO has always had a strong connection to water sports. Their blue water lens is a classic and it is perfect for the bright conditions on the water. With every pair of RĒVO sunglasses, the company is donating to the Surf Project. Last weekend in Zandvoort, they were able to donate another check to this much-needed initiative so children who need it most can keep on riding those waves!

It took some – okay, a lot of – patience from our side, but it looks like the sun is finally here. That calls for a celebration! Al fresco lunches in the park, pre-dinner drinks on the beach, and dinner in the city. See and be seen, all day long.

And what better way to look good in the summertime, than with some nice new sunglasses? Not only are they the first thing people see when they look at you, but they also protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. And let’s be honest, you only have one pair of eyes so better take good care of them.



The beauty is there are sunglasses for everyone’s taste. It doesn’t matter if you are the sporty type that loves to go and hike in nature or if you haven’t been out of the city in years. There are sunglasses for people who spent a lot of time on the road and therefore need high functionality from their glasses. And if you want to perfectly match your sunglasses with your new shoes and handbag, that’s also not a problem.



Retro-inspired styles are never out of style, and this year is of course no exception. New for 2021 are the big acetate frames with rectangular or cat-eye shapes with bold temples. For those who prefer metal frames, there are loads of options too. Oversized or small and understated, like we saw in the nineties.



But, where to find that perfect pair? At your local high-end optician of course. For the Netherlands, we selected a few of the best opticians for you to choose from. In each of those stores, you will find a great selection of frames from the best brands, for you to try on. And while you are there, why not have your eyes checked? Whether you need prescription glasses or not, an eye check-up is the best gift to your eyes.

We had and will ever have large vintage inspired glamorous sunglasses, we recently had round and hexagon shapes with thin rims in metal or acetate and this Summer we see the birth of more ‘flat’ shapes…

AM Eyewear

We mean ‘flat’ as in undeep instead of the deeper shapes that cover much more of your face. The styles can be rectangular of more cat-eye and instantly provide a fresh new and modern look that differs seriously from the glamour and minimalism of the past years. So dare to be the first and change your sunglasses for this season to something really new and instacool!
