It’s that time of year again when we gather in the streets to celebrate with friends and catch beads as they fly through the air. Mardi Gras 2016 will soon be in full swing and to make sure you’re ready for the festivities, we’ve selected a few of our favorite sunglasses that will protect your eyes during sunny parades (and from flying MoonPies).

Barton Perreira, Dalziel

We have been swooning over these classically shaped frames that come in brushed black, Spanish cedar, and midnight, among other fabulous and unique finishes. The bridge and matching top bar compliment the sturdy metal frames in silver, gold, or rose gold, and make these shades a strong contender for your Mardi Gras festivities.

 

 

 

Dita-HeartbreakerDita Heartbreaker

A modern interpretation of a classic cat eye style, the Heartbreaker was inspired by a love story and will make you the heartbreaker to whom all eyes are drawn. Featuring lightweight titanium/injection construction and elegantly sculpted temple tips and end pieces, you’ll be the belle of the Mardi Gras ball in these sultry shades.

 

 

KREWE du optic, St. LouisKrewe-du-optic

If Mardi Gras had a mascot, it would be these sunglasses. The name says it all – “krewe” is a term linked to Mardi Gras, and it aims to define the “diverse group that comes together to parade in celebration of the Carnival season.” Stand out in the crowd with these blue-mirrored lenses and matte black handcrafted frames (our favorite), or mix it up with any of KREWE’s fun color options for the St. Louis.

 

 

 

Dita, Decade-Two (Limited Edition)Dita-decade-two-limited-edition

Take the classic aviator, add a little James Bond and a splash of Beyonce, and you get the Decade-Two. With features like the custom signature diamond detail end pieces, the solid titanium frame, and the luxurious 18-karat gold hardware, you’ll be catching more eyes than beads at parades this year.

 

With such fabulous options, we highly recommend you come in to try on all of these sunglasses. Need prescription lenses? No problem – you can schedule an appointment for an eye exam with our optometrist too. Whatever you do, we hope you do it quickly, because the floats will be rolling soon!
