Stomp Through the Snow With a Hint of Mellow Yellow

In the middle of winter, when our meticulously crafted outfits are hidden under big, heavy jackets, it's hard to make a fashion statement. One solution: slipping on some brightly tinted sunglasses.
And if you're going to go bright, why not opt for the brightest shades of all? Not only is yellow the season's hottest color for lenses, it's also functional -- and friendlier. Ditching darker-hued specs means that you can see better, and that others can see you. Whether it's a classic pair from Tomas Maier or Carrera or some funkier frames from Retrosuperfuture or Polaroid, you'll have plenty of styles to choose from -- all of which will get you thinking of the warmer, sunnier, carefree days ahead.
