When we are looking for a pair of sunglasses, we have three main criteria in mind. How comfortable and durable they are, how well they protect from ultraviolet light, and how stylish they look. Luckily, Kirk & Kirk sunglasses fit all three. With decades of history in premium eyewear production, the brand knows just the right formula to make shades that offer the perfect balance of function and fashion. Moreover, they actually reach the point where you can't really tell where one ends and the other begins. Because the very features that make Kirk & Kirk sunglasses so practical and customizable are also what makes up their inimitable style.
As their top-choice material for sunglasses (and eyeglasses alike), the company uses acrylic. But not just any acrylic - only the finest Italian kind. That explains the incredibly light weight of Kirk & Kirk shades, even though the frames can often look quite substantial and massive. Actually, acrylic is even lighter than acetate, weighing mere ounces and thus offering a level of comfort you will rarely find elsewhere. Plus, because it's made at very high temperatures, such glasses offer even more durability than other types of plastic, meaning you can wear them for years without so much as a single scratch or crack. And that's just the tip of Kirk & Kirk's design brilliance iceberg - other features inherent to each pair of the brand's shades are equally impressive.
In the realm of sunglasses, Kirk & Kirk is just as uncompromising on quality and style as it is when it's busy making its new line of optical eyewear. And many of their eyeglasses actually have an UV-protective counterpart with just the same design. Actually, these designs can come even more striking in sunglasses because there are also lenses to use as a canvas for Kirk & Kirk's color experiments. Perfectly harmonized with the captivating translucent palettes of the frames, the tints used in lenses can sometimes change the whole mood of the model.
And there is no shortage of those in the brand's assortment. Classic options are represented by timeless wayfarers and aviators (of course, with a modern twist), basic round and square sunglasses, and vintage pantos (sleek and varied in the flow of their contour and the sharpness of their lines). Bolder models include teardrop, cat-eye, and butterfly designs, with their smooth silhouettes and daring angles highlighted by the masterful use of color. And if you want to go with something even more out of the ordinary, you can always opt for Kirk & Kirk's irregularly shaped sunglasses, presenting a truly one-of-a-kind look that you won't come across anywhere else in all of the summers you will be wearing them. Delve into the uniquely vibrant, charmingly lucid world of Kirk & Kirk summer eyewear and choose a pair that will become your faithful companion either through your daily routine or off the beaten track.
First of all, they are much lighter than even the already lightweight acetate shades. Secondly, they are more durable. And finally, the use of acrylic allows for all those lovely lucid palettes that are Kirk & Kirk's specialty.
Yes, the brand uses premium lenses that effectively filter out all lengths of UV waves. Kirk & Kirk shades also come with anti-glare coating and often feature gradient lenses to keep your eyes comfortable and your vision sharp even if the sun is at its peak.
