All-time style classics are worth appreciating: The Oxford shirt, the navy blazer, the blue jean, the perfect pair of sunglasses.
And when you happen to be able to find a style piece that’s largely made the same way it was decades ago, that’s a rare treat in and of itself.
In fact, the American Optical Saratoga Sunglasses are the very model famously favore by President John F. Kennedy, and they can be yours for a limited time to end summer in high style.

It’s often tough to precisely replicate other aspects of JFK’s look, like his famed yacht style, but it’s worth trying: These sunglasses are even available at UNCRATE Supply (while stock lasts).

Unsurprisingly, they look every bit as classic and cool as when worn by POTUS on and off land, and the combination of tortoiseshell frames and green lenses also stands the test of time.

What’s even more remarkable is the combination of price, quality and material. Global acetate makes up the lightweight-yet-durable frame, with seven-barrel hinges and U.S. craftsmanship.
The fact that these cool frames are just a shade over $200 makes them a worthy purchase every step of the way.
Summer’s last gasp might be on the way, but these reliable, ever-stylish shades are a pair sure to stand the test of time in every season and in every situation (just as JFK wore his).
