Shades: Part One

If the eyes are the windows to the soul, what's a girl to do when the sun's too bright for her to go out without squinting? Sunglasses. Sometimes your eyes don't have to do all the talking for you - and that's when your shades come in and help pick up the slack. Here's a look at some of the trendy sunglasses that have spotted on our San Francisco streets.

Jackie O: These puppies hide saggy eyes after a hard night on the town and make you look glamorous even when you're hungover. Wear them to brunch in an outdoor cafe in Hayes Valley, or while you hit up those Pac Heights boutiques. Bonus points if you wear them to a court hearing on child custody, like Britney Spears.

70s-era porn star shades: Long ridiculed by the public as creepy, these bad boys have been popularized by American Apparel and the revival of the 70s amateur porn aesthetic. Wear them in Haight-Ashbury while vintage shopping, at an outdoor concert in Golden Gate Park, or while roaming the streets of the Mission.

Wayfarers: This is a trend that been around since Tom Cruise made it big in Risky Business. Wayfarers are strangely loved by hipsters and prepsters alike. They are the only sunglasses you can wear in Dolores Park while drinking a Colt-45, AND on the Marina Green during a game of croquet.
