Shades Club April 2019 Review
There's an info card that announces their new style: "Summer Vacay".
Then there's a lighter weight box inside the one they're shipped in.
Your sunglasses come in a branded cloth pouch that doubles as a lens cloth with drawstring closure.
Summer Vacay Sunglasses in "Nantucket" - Retail Value $75.00
This is the style they sent out for April! The frames are a lightweight plastic in a matte grey tortoise pattern which I really like!
The arms are a flat black metal and have a recurring quote on the inside of one arm that says "If it feels good do it.". They were a little tight opening and closing the arms a few times but they do seem pretty sturdy.
Inside the other arm, you'll find the style name (Summer Vacay) and lens color (Nantucket, aka purple).
At the end of the arm is a little emblem and text saying these were designed in "the sunshine state" and are polarized.
The other side of the ends (which are the same plastic matte grey tortoise as the frames) are branded on the outside.
Here I am rocking my new shades. I really like this round shape on me and think they fit my face a lot better than my last pair! They are a little tight on but I think they'll stretch once I wear them more and it at least ensures that they won't be sliding off.
Verdict: I think Shades Club made the right move in dropping their initial cost. $29.00 a pair is a lot easier of a price to get down with and if you sign up for a longer subscription they get even cheaper (especially if you use our $15 coupon below). If you love sunglasses and want a new surprise style every month, this a great way to get exclusive pairs.
