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.

  1. 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.
