Ed Hardy Sunglasses Review in a Nutshell

Disclosure: Ad. These Ed Hardy sunglasses were given to me for review. The post is not endorsed by Ed Hardy. All opinions are my own and as usual 100% honest.

Why You Need Sunglasses beyond Summer in High Latitudes

At high latitudes like Canada, Scandinavia or Interior Alaska, you need sunglasses from once the Sun comes back in February to end October or so. In late and early winter, the low Sun reflects on the snow. It’s impossible to drive without sun protection on icy roads. In summer, the Sun is up 24/7. Therefore, sunglasses are always in my purse.

Even when in some areas of the country, it doesn’t feel like it yet, summer with lots of sunshine is just around the corner. This means also for you, time to get your eye protection out for the great outdoors. And may be time for adding a new pair to your own collection.

No woman ever says I have enough sunglasses. – Ed Hardy.

Ed Hardy Eyewear

Ed Hardy’s sunglasses collections are designed from handmade acetate, and include models for all genders. What I like about his eyewear is that you can get designer models for just $120.00.

Who doesn’t love designer-looking glasses without the designer price tag?

Ed Hardy designed everything you can think of from round, over aviator, retro square, cat-eye, sport, steampunk, you name it. No matter what is your face shape, you will find your perfect frames that makes you to look your best. It’s fashion paradise.

Tip: Make your sunglasses your statement this spring.

Fight Pre-Mature Aging with Sun-Protective Lenses

I picked the Steger, which looks like a merger of the large lenses of the 1980s with the cool cat-eye design of the 1950s. Large specs cover all the sensitive skin around the eyes. Therefore, you not only protect your eyes from harmful sun rays, but also protect your skin from premature aging.

Extra-benefit: you can skip the eye makeup when you commit to keeping your sunnies on.

Are Ed Hardy Sunglass Designs Timeless?

When I opened the package after work in the evening, I was impressed by the great craftsmanship and look of the sunglasses. The frames are timeless. I couldn’t wait to wear the first pair the next morning. The Steger doesn’t only look fashionable, but also is really nice when driving. As you see in the photos, they have different tints. Both colors keep all the reflections and glare of the snow and icy roads out of my eyes.

I also really like how easy these glasses are to style. Their timeless design with a modern twist works well for all kind of situations where sunglasses are in order.

Who Will Like these Bi-Color Ed Hardy Sunglasses?

These sunglasses are a perfect fit for everyone who wants timeless sunglasses with a modern twist. They are great for any professionals who have to wear sunglasses when meeting customers outside. The design is timeless, but modern, i.e. it conveys the message that you are down to Earth, but know what’s up-to-date and what you are doing. In other words, they work well with a classic and business as well as casual work dress code. Clients like proved concepts that are state-of-the-art. This statement also applies to the Ed Hardy sunglasses.

Are Bi-Color Sunglasses in Fashion?

Bi-color sunnies are a Must-Have this season. Going for a timeless vintage designer pair creates a unique look. Bi-color lenses improve the vision when wearing them.

Be good to your eyes by wearing sun protection, be good to yourself by wearing stylish sunglasses. – Ed Hardy.

Excellent Price-Performance-Ratio

Of course, great design and timeless design have their price. Therefore, I was positively surprised about the price tag of just $120! If I had had to pay for them, I would be very happy with my purchase. They are worth their price.

When you wear them daily, you will be below a dollar per wear before fall. That’s an excellent price-performance ratio. This means the cost-per-wear is much less than a latte a day!
