Perhaps already this summer, you’ve got your sights set on everyday carry upgrades aplenty. The opportunity has never been more perfect to step out with a fresh look and fresh accessories, after all, from a durable pair of new swim trunks to expertly crafted leather flip-flops — that also includes, naturally, a favorite new pair of sunglasses. Toss in the fact that you can find ’em within the Huckberry Sale section, and we’re cooking with gas (or possibly charcoal for your summer grilling lineup … I digress!).

And when those sunglasses carry on a historic legacy dating back to JFK — yes, JFK himself — you’d do well to consider scoring pair at a discount via your favorite retailer. That leads us nicely down the beach or the road towards the American Optical Saratoga Sunglasses, an utterly classic pair of frames with some serious style pedigree.

With parts and components shipped from around the globe, these handsome and remarkably versatile men’s sunglasses are still assembled in the U.S. of A, no easy feat when it comes to crafting the best sunglasses for men. The fact that the Saratoga carries on the legacy of the same pair of frames worn by JFK is impressive in its own right, as the all-American brand noted that “reviving the Saratoga from the original AO archival designs required great care and careful updates for modern ergonomics and fit.”

That means the brand used durable polarized AOLite nylon lenses for sun protection and performance, while the 54mm eye width is nicely sized without overdoing it — an oversized pair of 1970s frames, these are not.

The American Optical Saratoga Sunglasses use an eye-catching turtle acetate frame structure rounded out in durable fashion with stainless steel hinges, while the lenses themselves are designed to resist smudges (a crucial detail as you wear these frames from the boardwalk to the beach bar and back!).

And with their archive-inspired good looks and classic, historic design, you just might find that these frames (marked down to $234 from their original price of $275) are some of the sharpest, most high-quality frames on the market — as easily wearable with a breezy cotton-linen suit as with a knit polo and chinos or a laidback short-sleeve henley and lounge shorts.

The possibilities are nearly endless in terms of style points as you upgrade your everyday carry with a newly built and revamped version of a true style classic, one that’s certainly stood the test of time. I’d say that sounds like something worth adding to your style rotation at a discount, ehh, my friends? Save now on the American Optical Saratoga Sunglasses, then wear ’em to the beach, back and everywhere in between.
