SUMMER SUNGLASSES THAT DEFINE YOU
Summer sunglasses are the ultimate accessory to define exactly who you are. They should be unapologetically bold, irresistibly fun, and unmistakably daring. Whether you’re flexing your vibe on a sunlit beach or stealing glances at a rooftop party, the right pair of shades doesn’t just shield your eyes, it stamps your signature on the season.
From sleek minimalism to unapologetic glamour, here are the top 10 summer sunglasses that are turning up the heat.
FERRAGAMO: Luxury With a Side of Drama
Nothing says you’ve arrived quite like slipping on a pair of FERRAGAMO sunglasses. Oversized sculpted temples that ooze Italian sophistication. These are the frames you wear when you want your summer to feel cinematic with a poolside martini included.
LONGCHAMP: Parisian Cool
LONGCHAMP sunglasses blend refined French chic with contemporary flair. Moreover, lightweight frames, bright colors, and discreet logos make them versatile enough to pair with everything in your closet. Consequently, they’re the perfect plus-one for a morning market stroll or an alfresco lunch. On IRK’s must-have list.
CALVIN KLEIN & CALVIN KLEIN JEANS: Cool Urban Edge
CALVIN KLEIN sunglasses are for the minimalist who still demands to be seen. Think angular design with barely there branding, offering just enough to whisper cool confidence. If you’re more from dressed to dressed down, CALVIN KLEIN JEANS offers bolder frames with flair that pair perfectly with a suit or ripped denim and a white tee.

KARL LAGERFELD: Iconic Rebel Energy
KARL LAGERFELD sunglasses bring the rebellious spirit of their namesake to life. Expect geometric frames, contrasting materials, and a design attitude that flips the bird to boring basics. These are for the fashion renegades ready to break some hearts (and maybe a few rules). IRK loves their Space Jam Sunglasses.

LACOSTE: Sporty and Effortlessly Chic sunglasses
LACOSTE sunglasses embody effortless preppy-cool. Their classic aviators and contemporary shields are made for tennis courts and beach clubs alike. If your summer style is all about clean lines and athletic inspiration, these are your match.

LIU JO: Feminine With a Twist
For girls who want their summer sunglasses to flirt with glamour, LIU JO delivers. In particular, think soft cat-eyes, transparent acetates, and subtle sparkle details that catch the light (and everyone’s attention). For example, wear them with a floral sundress or cutoffs and a tank. Either way, you’ll look like sunshine personified.
PAUL SMITH: Playful British Quirk
PAUL SMITH‘s summer sunglasses are for the ones who never take themselves too seriously. For instance, expect pops of color inside the temples, retro round shapes, and a distinctly British wink. As a result, they’re the ideal companion when you want to stand out without shouting.
Summer Sunglasses to Define the Season, One Shade at a Time
Your summer sunglasses are more than UV protection. They’re your personal billboard. So be bold. Be fun. Be daring. Whether you choose the minimalist edge of CALVIN KLEIN, the luxe drama of FERRAGAMO, or the rebellious spirit of KARL LAGERFELD, let your shades declare exactly who you are this season: unstoppable.

One day when I was barely two my mom let me push her out of her bedroom. She was curious so she ran outside the house so she could watch me through the window. I climbed up on a chair by her vanity and started putting on her makeup. I loved playing dress up as a kid. Putting on my mom's sequin tube tops and high heeled shoes and then putting on a dance show in the lobby or the restaurant of the hotel/residence we lived in. It was the best childhood ever. Dress-up, dancing, playing with barbies, and drawing were my favorite things to do. I have not changed one bit today. If I am creating I am happy.
Now I am in Paris for the second time in my life and I am having a ball playing with my partner in crime Julien Crouigneau. We founded IRK Magazine together in 2015 and we are proud to collaborate with some amazing artists, and influencers.
We are also a photography duo under the pseudonym French Cowboy. We love to tell stories and create poetic images that are impactful.
