By now, I would hope that we've all done our fair share of research when it comes to gifting for the holidays. We can do better than gift cards, and we heard mom when she not-so-subtly hinted at wanting a new accessory over Thanksgiving dinner. At Who What Wear, we've been taking notes in order to be the best gift givers this year, and luckily, our editors have been on their gifting A-game all season, scouring the internet for the best to share with you.
One item that all of our editors agree will make the perfect gift this season is a new pair of sunglasses. Sunglass Hut and Coach have come out with a collection that checks all of the boxes for anyone on your list, regardless of their style. Whether you're shopping for your mom who's a style setter or your S.O. who loves a good classic, you can't go wrong with these. See what our editors are choosing here.
"When it comes to buying sunglasses for myself, I'm boring and go for a solid black pair. However, I do love to gift people with trendier options, like these Y2K-inspired pilot frames. They're warm-toned and mature enough to be worn a lot, but they still have that touch that makes them a unique gift for a fashion lover in your life."
"I'm a Florida native, so sunglasses have always been a staple in my wardrobe, and it's not uncommon for me to give them to my friends and family during the holidays. This tortoiseshell pair is classic and so easy to style. I could give this oversize pair to just about anyone in my family, and they would be able to seamlessly work them into their everyday style."
"Buying gifts, especially fashion gifts, for other people can be tricky. After all, style is personal. But there are some fashion items that are easier to give than others, and a pair of sunglasses is one of them. These silver aviators are especially gift-worthy because they're simple yet elevated. I mean, come on. How could anyone not want to slide these on after the first big and blindingly white snowfall of the season?"
"Anyone that loves to wear a pop of color will be excited to unwrap these blush Coach sunglasses. The custom pink acetate makes them feel really luxe and is a bit more unique than a classic tortoiseshell or a black frame. Plus, the pastel shade makes them the perfect accessory to buy now and wear straight into spring and summer."
