About this piece

A throwback to the 1980s, when oversized sunglasses defined the style. Hazlewood features a rounded teardrop shape and highly impact-resistant V52® lenses with a full mirror coating that completes their distinct look. The gently curved frame offers added protection from harmful reflections and provides a comfortable, modern fit.
