Hylas UV400 Round Sunglasses

Cut From The Seventies

A Deliberately Small Lens
The round lens is cut tight to the eye, the way frames were built before oversized took over everything. Nothing about the proportion is safe. It reads as a decision rather than a default, and it holds its own against a plain tee and jeans.

Gold Wire Against Black
Slim gold metal temples run off a glossy black rim, so the color break does all the work and no other detail has to. Metal at the temple and acetate at the front is the split most seventies frames were built on, and it still looks right. The wire arms keep the frame light on the face and easy to leave on when you walk indoors.

Hardware For Every Day
Sprung hinges and curved tips keep the fit steady while you move, and the neutral grey lens carries from a morning walk through to a late dinner without shifting the way things look. UV400 filtering sits behind every tint. Five colorways including tortoise and amber.
