Bless Your Eyes This Summer With These Cool New Aussie Shades Out Of Byron Bay

By – who is always dreaming of her next meal and reckons a good martini solves most problems

We’re a sucker for a good pair of statement sunnies, but it can be tricky to find an affordable pair that delivers big on aesthetics while actually protecting your eyes. That’s why we’re big fans of Gesture Eyewear

Born out of Byron Bay, the fresh-faced label is rooted in street culture. Creator Rory Twomey started Gesture as a way to bring his particular aesthetic inspired by DIY surf, skate and music communities to life, and we’re pretty darn glad he decided to take the leap. With a very of-the-moment 90s/2000s street aesthetic and vibrant colourways, the latest collection is a serious vibe.

But beyond just looking pretty schmick, these frames offer up premium quality at an accessible price point. If you want to get technical, ​​they’re crafted from high-quality acetates and boast Carl Zeiss CR39 scratch-resistant lenses, sturdy European hinges and provide all the protection your eyes need. Plus, the brand's also big on sustainable practices and offers free shipping worldwide. Pretty good, right?

Peep the new collection here and order now to secure yours in time for all those summer day sessions ahead.

Now top off your look with one of these sweet personalised tees and totes.
