Is It Just Me, Or Is Every Influencer Wearing These Super-Cool Futuristic Sunnies?
Also: How do they look so good on everyone?
Few accessories can make an outfit pop off like sunglasses; they’re an item that automatically makes every outfit look a little bit cooler — even more so when said sunglasses come from the influencer-beloved brand Paloceras. Infused with diversified European influence (the Swiss-founded brand features a Lisbon atelier and a Helsinki office), Paloceras’ founders were influenced by retro-futurism and technological advances in the digital world. The idea was to create sunglasses that used cutting-edge tech to create a high-quality accessory — and a disruptive new aesthetic to reflect that progress. The result: Paloceras’ Pebble collection featuring variations on a singular bold design concept, and the result is making waves in the fashion world.
Available in just a handful of boutiques nationwide, these glasses have still managed to become favorites of digital royalty like Copenhagen-based Elle contributing fashion editor Fumina Tsuji, influencer Carol Morais, and Berlin-based artist and model Isis Maria Niedecken, among others. When you check out the diverse influencer fanbase, it’s clear that while the sunglasses themselves are statement-making, they can blend with a multitude of signature looks — for example, from Evie Mills’ femme vibes to the futuristic energy of DJ Martha Pinel.
The Pebble sunglass aesthetic is sleek and futuristic with a dash of whimsy. This debut features two shapes — one an oval and the other softly rectangular — both featuring chunky, bubble-like frames crafted from dual-layered acetate, with pillowy curved arms. While exaggerated, the silhouette isn’t oversize — this lends sophistication and restraint, and prevents the look from feeling costume-ish. Crafted with gold-plated wire cores and a five-jointed hinge system — you can opt for one of the semi-translucent paler shades to showcase their construction — the lenses offer 100% UV protection and feature an anti-reflective coating.
Virtually every detail was given a designer’s eagle-eye — and the colorways on offer are no exception. The classic tortoiseshell gets a modern twist when rendered in the brand’s signature chunky acetate; the muted dusty blue shown below is at once playful and edgy. If you’ve been dying to try out sunglasses with lenses in tones other than basic black, consider this collection your sign; you’ll find stunning options in surprising and stylish shades like pale purple and emerald green.
The bold silhouette happens to be shockingly versatile; a glance at the early-adopting influencers reveals the collection’s styling potential. A natural choice to balance out the chunky knee-high boots that have been cropping up in fashion circles, the silhouette can also be used to modernize classic and femme looks, proving these chic sunnies are more than worth the splurge. Adored by influencers and crafted with meticulous precision from high-quality materials in a silhouette that’ll have everyone asking where did you find those, Paloceras may just have created the It-girl of sunglasses.
