Seeking pink clarity and respite from the Sarasota summer skies, you don a pair of Valencias to see more clearly through the blazing tennis court. Spectacle Gallery’s classic collection of in-house crafted lenses deliver crisp vision quality and sophisticated styling for a day of outdoor activities in the blazing summer sun.

To channel your inner Monroe and Hepburn, Valencia’s 50s-inspired frames feature a classic cat-eye silhouette in translucent acetate with a purple to yellow fade. In the service of timeless femininity and glamor, the Valencias are perfectly associated with a tennis set or a retro-inspired swimsuit.

Or transport yourself to the golden age with Moscot Arbita-style hues in gold glaze. Reminiscent of vintage sports sunglasses, the Arbita have thick, rounded frames sold in the trendy shade, Champagne. This color’s versatility and dark lenses make the goggles an easy transition piece when heading to the clubhouse for lunch after a hard round of golf or a quick dip in the pool.

In honor of National Sunglasses Day on June 27, pick up a pair of these 1950s-inspired finds at the Spectacle Gallery, 1286 N. Palm Ave., Sarasota, 941-365-5606, or in line.
