Say it with me, now: "Summer is coming. It will get warmer. Summer is coming. It will get warmer."
Despite the six-month winter and the dismal prognostications of Weather.com, nice weather is bound to come soon. And if it doesn't, we should all book our flights to Jamaica next month because the cold-induced cabin fever is at near epidemic levels.
Get into the mood for summer with some of the coolest glasses available to the promotional products industry. Worst case scenario, you can wear your sunglasses at night.
Back in Blues Brothers
Everything in the '80s is back, and nothing is quite as cool as Wayfarer-style sunglasses like these RB Acetate Sunglasses from Fields Manufacturing. The thick black-framed glasses are 100 percent UV protective and feature a 0.25x1.5" imprint on the frame. They can also be special ordered with blue or red frames, but good luck finding a skinny blue tie to match.
Top Gun
Seriously, say what you want about '80s fashion, but the sunglasses were killer. These Maui Jim "Akoni" Metal Sunglasses care of Indigo harken back to the classic avaiator style with their thin metal frames and large lenses. The two-tone glasses are unisex and naturally complement your leather biker jacket, beige Versace suit, Aqua Net-induced hair and other things you've hid in your closet for the last 20 years.
Suds in your Eyes
They may not be goggles, but these Beer Mug Sunglasses from Brainstorm Novelties work just as well. The glasses have clear frames and yellow-tinted lenses. Beer Mug Sunglasses are great for Oktoberfest parties, beach bars and spring break destinations (a.k.a, anywhere you can find college students).
