Smith Optics Approach Sunglasses
Hey, how about this—the Smith Optics Approach is a pair of women’s sunglasses that isn’t pink and doesn’t have daisies on it. In fact, it's a pair of hardcore, interchangeable-lens sunglasses designed for running, cycling, and paddling—just downsized and redesigned to fit the smaller (but, as someone’s wife tells him, more efficient) cranial capacity. The Approach comes with three lens tints, an adjustable nosepiece, and grippy rubber at the temples, brow, and nose to keep the glasses from slipping.
