The future is bright (and fabulous)…..
Now that we have officially kicked off summer 2023, it’s time to celebrate National Sunglasses Day which falls on June 27.
The day was actually started The Vision Council to celebrate the importance of wearing ultraviolet (UV)-protective sunwear and eyewear. Each year, the Vision Council encourages members and the industry at large to participate in National Sunglasses Day by posting on social media channels using the official hashtags, #SunglassesSelfie and #NationalSunglassesDay, and tagging @TheVisionCouncil on Facebook and Instagram.
The day also happens to be a perfect reason to splurge on a new pair of shades. From chic cat-eyes to awesome aviators, shop 10 sunglasses for the summer below.
