Wayfarers hold a dear place in Taylor Swift’s eyewear collection. More often than not, the songstress opts for her signature Ray-Bans over any other brand. But every once in a while, there is a new frame joining her wayfarer club—like the Westward Leaning Pioneer 40 Taylor Swift was spotted wearing on May 28, 2015, in New York as she headed for a lunch date with Calvin Harris, the dancefloor hitmaker from Scotland.
Embodying the charm of the Southwest and borrowing its name from the legendary “Sleeping Beauty” mine, the Pioneer 40 presents a sleek wayfarer silhouette in fine-polished acetate. A debut Westward Leaning shape, this model showcases the brand’s idea of perfect wayfarers. The frame is crafted entirely by hand to offer a snug fit and match all face types, resulting in a construction that’s both super durable and extremely lightweight. Coming in a beautiful tortoise color amplified with cyan temple accents and vibrant lenses, the Pioneer 40 has all the attributes of a timeless summer essential.
There is more to it—like the top-grade hinges for smooth movement or the shatterproof technology used in the lenses, ensuring that the shades function seamlessly for many summers on end. The UV filter effectively blocks harmful ultraviolet rays of any length, keeping your eyes not only framed in style but also thoroughly protected from the brightest sun. Retailing for around $185, the Pioneer 40 is a truly upscale, Tay-approved choice everyone can afford to make.
Coupling her new Westward Leaning wayfarers with a white crop tee, black dungarees, and a crossbody bag echoing the Pioneer 40 frame color, Taylor Swift looked every bit the icon she is. The omnipresent paparazzi made sure to capture every detail of her ensemble—including the frames, of course. Tay and Calvin may have broken up, but these sweet shots stay in our memories and personal collections, giving us yet another cherished moment of the singer’s fabulous style, both in coordinating her outfits and choosing shades that slay.
