As the seasons (presumably) change and the sun hopefully starts shining more often than the snow keeps falling, it’s time to break out the shades. Eye Pieces of Vail, with two locations in Vail Village and one in Edwards, and Vail Vision in Edwards and West Vail, sell both sporty and designer sunglasses. They can customize most pairs with prescription or polarized lenses.

Most of us in the valley are active and outdoorsy, but that doesn’t mean we have to forfeit our fashion sense.

Prada
Internationally renowned for elegant designs, Prada sunglasses set trends with stylish sunglasses that scream “designer.”

Oakley
All Oakley sunglass lenses are custom made at the Oakley lab. The company offers a line of polarized lens options, with sporty designs and durable frames. These glasses are great for mountain sports such as mountain biking, kayaking, hiking and climbing.

Giorgio Armani
Armani sunglasses reflect a clean, modern appeal. The sunglasses include prescription styles and regular sunglasses in metal, plastic and combinations.

Versace
Glamorous Versace sunglasses are sometimes elegant, and sometimes flashy. Gold is a common theme among many designs, but more muted pairs, such as this one, are available.

Christian Dior
Dior sunglasses are known for frame style and elegance. To see and be seen, Dior glasses feature large frames and lenses that stand out.

Dolce & Gabbana
Always stylish Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses feature models in metal with slim sides in steel, giving a blend of functionality and design.
