PSA: This Is Where Editors Are Snagging Ultra-Cute Eyewear for Summer
Sponsor Content Created With Draper James
I think most fashion people would agree that accessories are a crucial component when putting together an outfit. The right earrings can make a casual dress look that much more elevated. Adding an interesting handbag can make a jeans-and-T-shirt combo feel more trend-forward. A… well, you get the point. One accessory I'm especially particular about is eyewear. Whether it's sunglasses or a pair of actual seeing glasses, choosing the right pair can pull my outfit together. I've been looking to add new pairs to my rotation, so I turned to a few of my co-workers to see where they've been shopping. The consensus? Draper James. The brand, which was founded by Reese Witherspoon, has an ultra-cute assortment of classic styles that are right up my alley. Keep scrolling to see how three editors are styling their eyewear from the brand, and prepare to want to add everything to your cart. (Take it from me: You can never have too many glasses.)
Natalie Gray Herder, Associate Editor, Branded Content
"I cannot live without sunglasses in the summertime. Yes, they provide protection from the sun, but what I really love is the way they accessorize an outfit. Lately, I've been loving adding more timeless frames like these pretty Draper James ones to my look. As someone who works in fashion, I often feel like I need to try every trend out there. But the truth is it's not always the most sustainable. Now that I'm in my mid-20s, I've been prioritizing the pieces that can be worn for years to come. I consider these sunglasses a wardrobe staple. Larger frames are totally classic and always in style."
"These sunglasses are sleek and sophisticated, so I wanted my outfit to be on the same level. In true New York fashion, I selected an all-black look that feels put together and easy to achieve. Choosing a slip dress and a pair of fisherman sandals was a nod to the trends of the season, but the look still maintains an ageless feel."
Allyson Payer, Senior Editor
"I've been wearing glasses for 29 years, so I've tried every style under the sun at this point, but I've found that the more classic styles, such as this pair, suit me best. I only wear plastic frames, but some tend to overpower my face. These Draper James frames were perfect, though. The thickness and size were ideal, and I'm convinced they'd work for a variety of face shapes. Additionally, these will complement (as opposed to clash with) any outfit they're paired with. They're simple yet chic and striking."
"When I'm wearing glasses, I find that keeping my jewelry and other accessories minimal is best. I prefer to let the glasses be the focal point instead of having them compete with a lot of other items. So for this outfit, I did just that. I paired them with my green vest and loose trousers and added sleek black mules and an easy '90s-style shoulder bag."
Judith Jones, Senior Market Editor
"The warm-weather season is great for trying fun accessory trends, and I'll be amping up my basics with striking jewelry, chic raffia bags, and statement sunglasses. (They're practically a prerequisite for L.A. summers.) These Draper James ones have fast become my new favorites. They're super chic—the metallic temple is striking, and the square silhouette suits my heart-shaped face perfectly. They're also really comfortable and never slide down my nose. Moreover, they align perfectly with my aesthetic—classic yet fashion-forward—a style I can wear for years to come."
"For this look, I styled my relaxed jeans with a white tank and a vibrant pink cardigan to add a little pop. I'll always add some gold and pearl jewelry and, of course, chic sunglasses for a cool finishing touch. This look is extremely versatile and easy to wear day or night. I would wear this ensemble to go to the office, for meetings and press previews, or for a special lunch. It's also perfect for drinks and dinner after work with friends. It's chic, polished, and effortless."
