Chanel is not necessarily the first brand that comes to a man’s mind when searching for the perfect summer shades but these acetate, tortoise shell aviators from the Chanel Solglasögon Våren 2011 line are a perfect mix of fun and function.

The plastic aviator tends to be a bit daunting for guys, not to mention the iconic double-C logo on the temples. But this season is about pushing the limits of fashion and by dropping a bit of the high end label, one puts themselves in a whole new category of refinement. Remember, the best message you can deliver with your style is, ‘I know something you don’t know.’
