Sometimes, a single accessory is all it takes to make you feel like a million bucks, and the
Dior So Real sunglasses are capable of doing just that.
If there's ever a time to be just a little bit extra, it's the summer. And what better way to show off your ostentatious side than by donning a pair of sunglasses that are known to grace the faces of stars like Rihanna, Bella Hadid, and Kylie Jenner? Meet the Dior So Real sunglasses. They're so expensive, but oh so worth it.
I managed to get my hands on a pair a couple years ago when I forgot that my FSA money was expiring (pro tip: use your FSA funds to buy designer sunglasses, and you'll love yourself forever). Every time I throw them on, I feel a new bounce in my step. Am I being a bit silly? Sure. But am I at all sorry? Nope.
We really have Rihanna to thank for bringing the So Real trend to the streets of Hollywood, New York, and every in between. The songstress wore a mirrored pair of the shades at Dior's 2014 fall show in Paris, and ever since, they've been the eyewear of choice of the fashion forward. Part of the appeal, of course, lies in the unique shape of the lens itself. And then there's the mirrored aspect of the frames, which are great for shielding your eyes from the paparazzi (or just from the sun).
But aside from being great to look at, the Dior So Real sunglasses really are great to look through as well. The shades offer 100% UV protection, and while I sometimes feel as though I have to squint even from behind my sunglasses, this is never the case with the Dior frames.
The So Real sunglasses also provide excellent coverage, thanks to the unique shape and their relatively close fit, you won't find a ton of UV rays streaming in from every which direction. Because the lenses are mirrored, you'll reflect a lot of the light that might otherwise harm your eyes.
Happy customers have noted that "These Diors...are absolutely stunning. Perfect fit, excellent quality." And while they tend to sell out quickly, don't be afraid to check back frequently on your favorite online shopping destination.
