A good pair of shades are as important, in our opinion, as any article of clothing… Have your bases down, add a cracker pair of sunnies and heighten your vision. Depending on your style, your sunglasses reveal your personality, so dress accordingly and to impress or you’ll coalesce into the puddle of every-man. No need for ridiculous, big cat eye frames that hang three inches from the crests of your eyes, or anything resembling something Kanye West would wear. But, fashion forward’s no crime. And, we’re big fans of sticking out like icebergs from the sea with a kind of style that shines through in bright colour. As crucial a sleek pair of frames are to your wardrobe, a life enhancing set of lenses will up your worldly enjoyment. VonZipper’s developed a new lens tech, called WildLife. Of which for the better part of the last decade has been evolving – all while you were picking profile songs on Myspace, converting to skinny jeans and texting with T9 on your Razr  – into the formula released today. 

Banner use

Banner 
Eyes tend to wander and that can get you into trouble. So, we recommend a pair of dark lenses whenever acceptable. The Banner by VZ are the right shades to set distance yourself from monotony without being overt. Fit with WildLife lenses, which eliminate UVA rays – clarity has never been so apparent. 

Pinch Use

Casual, soulful and harmonic, Pinch by VZ are the perfect any day sunnies. An ode to Ray Ban’s classic look, but lighter and sleeker – big visions sometimes come in small packages. Whether your stuck in traffic, glaring into the open ocean, or hiding from the general public, remember you’re safe behind your sunnies.
