A quintessential but often overlooked accessory for the archetype ‘90s skater is, without question, sunglasses.
From the beloved thick-soled kicks to the begrudgingly revived frosted tips, we tend to focus on the more audacious parts of skater-past when reflecting on the iconic look. But the shades, a humble if not practical accessory to the casual observer, are the pièce de résistance properly completing the entire skater look.
Enter ARNETTE—one of the most iconic 90s sunglasses brands and a beloved skater staple.
ARNETTE was built on a principle of function without compromising style. The famed sunglasses brand represents the pinnacle of ‘90s shades culture, and with its vibrant colors, unique shapes, and high-performance function, it’s easy to say that ARNETTE draws fans from all walks of life.
From vintage skater bros reliving the glory days of skate mixes and Thrasher magazine to the neo-street skater looking further to blur the lines between high and low style, ARNETTE’s signature shades fit every era.
ARNETTE’s ability to transform itself from its iconic place in recent-fashion history to a brand that’s on the cutting edge of style is where it draws its strength. Pushing new boundaries in sustainability has been at the core of the brand’s spirit since its start. As of late, they’ve distanced themselves from the all-too-common stereotypes associated with sunglasses, making it clear they’re not just any old pair of plastic sunglasses you purchase on a whim.
Instead, ARNETTE’s sunglasses are crafted with incredibly diligent engineering to ensure durability and maintain a top-quality standard. Made from sustainable, strong materials like bio-nylon, bio-acetate, and recycled plastic, these shades are more than just accessories.
Pulling from its robust catalog, ARNETTE is highlighting two unique models for this fall season. The Cortex, an easy-going, squared-shaped frame made from featherweight bio-plastic, arrives with a thin temple design. The Hamie, a squared sun style boasting light bio-based materials, brings a more classic to this season’s drop of ARNETTE sunglasses. Stylish yet easy to wear, these shades are an homage to the OG stylings primed for a revival.
Boasting a sleek ARNETTE logo design, this duo of sunblockers is vintage ARNETTE, showcasing the brand's enduring presence within design and style.
So, for all you skaters (and non-skaters) out there, look to ARNETTE’s latest offerings to help tie your look together the right way.
