Celebrities and films often serve as sources of inspiration when it comes to finding our own style. While thinking of dressing up in these trying times may feel unnecessary, and purchasing new pieces to expand our wardrobes may feel absurd, we can’t deny that a little treat for ourselves from time to time can sometimes make all the difference to make our days that much better.
So, as you’re rooted at home probably browsing the list of content on popular streaming services like Netflix (or contemplating life at large perhaps), we are almost sure you must have watched the acclaimed K-drama series Itaewon Class. The engaging pace of the storyline and easy-on-the-eyes cast may be the draw for many, but we are especially taken by the perfected style of its characters.
Like many of our counterparts, we are in the purse-pinching mode when it comes to purchasing anything really. Though these sunglasses from Gentle Monster may be the only exceptions that we can make a case for. Especially since they are undeniably wearable as an effortless addition to up-the-ante for everyday dressing, and double-up as reminders of sunnier days (literally and metaphorically) lounging by the beach. And there’s nothing wrong with hoping for all of us to get back to better times in the near future and looking great while we are at it.
As seen on Kwon Nara and Kim Da-Mi, the SOLO-01 features a classic silhouette with oversized round frames that works anytime anywhere. They also come with UV protected Zeiss lenses, two circular silver pins nodding to a minimalist stylistic detail complementing the silver engraved Gentle Monster logos on its temples.

Designed to cover the entirety of half your face, they make the perfect accessory to throw on for your next Zoom video conference meeting if you have forgone doing up your daily makeup routine when working from home.
