Socrates Polarized Round Sunglasses

Old Shape Modern Optics

The Round Front Came Back
Thick olive acetate rings sit around a true round lens and run into tortoise arms that warm the whole thing up. It is the shape men wore before sunglasses got aggressive and it still reads better than anything trying hard. The proportions stay small enough to work on a narrow face as well as a broad one.

Polarized Where It Counts
A polarized filter kills reflected light rather than just dimming the scene. Wet road car hoods and open water stop throwing white sheets at you so what you see through these is the road ahead instead of the sun bouncing off it. That difference shows up hardest on the drive home when the sun sits low.

Green Lenses Honest Color
The dark green tint holds contrast steady instead of flattening everything into grey. Skin tones and signage stay true and UV400 filtering blocks the full range while the acetate front takes daily handling without complaint. Pocket them leave them on a dash or a workbench and the finish stays put.
