Sunglasses: Shutter Shades For Summer!
Shopping | Michele Obi | June 24, 2008
Made famous by Kanye West, reader Erin quite rightly highlighted that we forgot to include the “shutter shade” in our round up of key sunglasses for this season.
Available in a number of colours, this summer the shutter shade has proved to be the biggest competitor for the Wayfarer. My only question is how the hell does one see out of them? If you own a pair can you tell me…”Do they annoy you after a while?”
For a cheap and cheerful option head on over to ASOS and grab a pair from Jeepers Peepers at just £10. If you want the real deal check out Shutter Shades for a great selection of colours.



Shutter shades *may* look cool, but that’s about as far as their functions go. There are no lenses, so they don’t protect your eyes at all! Also, when you wear them, the sun flashes on your eyes like a strobe light as it crosses over each one of the shutters.
You could wear them indoors, like to a bar, which is a little over the top, but you are wearing shutter shades already, so it really shouldn’t matter.
Don’t compare to wayfarers for me.
So fly !
actually, they do protect your eyes from 100% of uv rays. i dont know how, but they do. and i can c out of mine just fine
mine are red, they dont hurt my eyes at all and they do look cool. I once wore mine when i went to london i got so many comments it was amazing.
this shades are so awsome!
How the hay do you fix them, i already broke 2 of them
They’re a waste of money.
