For the walk of shame, the post-cry brunch, or the 3 p.m. spiral. These are the sunglasses for when you can’t be seen, but still have places to be.

Thierry Lasry – @thierrylasry
French-made and unapologetically sharp. For people who like silence more than small talk and don’t believe in eye contact before noon.

Akila – @akila.la
For the sustainably jaded. Thick frames, soft politics, and a face that says “I’m listening” when you absolutely aren’t.

Bonnie and Clyde  – @bonnieandclyde.la
Slightly chaotic, perfectly hot. The name’s a warning; the energy’s delusional. Worn best when pretending you’re over it.

L.G.R@lgrworld
Italian-made and built for disappearing acts. Feels like running away, even if it’s just to brunch.

Crap Eyewear – @crapeyewear
California daydreams for people who pretend they hate California. Ironic, easy, and cooler than they mean to be.
