SOCIAL CLUB 19's SUMMER EYE WEAR PICKS

Spring and Summer 2012 collections are all about flashing that color. Since sometimes branching out into the color world is a little intimidating for guys, BOLT picked some great eye wear options. We found some great eye wear at Sunglass Hut that will be perfect for you Spring and Summer socializing.

First guys the staple outfit you have to have for the sunny weather is a solid t shirt and colored cotton short or cotton trouser. A great example is the DSquared2 option from their S/S2012 collection. You can see the full collection at men.style.com, the collection is a great style guide because they have a basic v neck shirt paired with a bold colored trouser and belt combo.

Now guys a quick reminder. If you are going to be doing a bold color trouser, make sure the top is a neutral color. If you are choosing to wear a bold top than make sure their is a neutral bottom. For the advanced style mavin, feel free to color block away. BOLT approves.

Now once you have found you perfect and simple outfit choice, and the key is to keep it simple, it is time to accessorize. Guys your first choice should be a colored belt, or even a rope if going for the nautical look. The must have accessory is the eye wear.

Don't be afraid to try on your future favorite eye wear. You want to make sure that you are comfortable with the shape and size on your face. The only way to know what you are going to like on your face is to try on different styles. You might find the one aviator style you have always gone with might not be the best for your face. Guys should probably have at least 2 pairs of eye wear. One pair that they can be hard on and if lost or broken it isn't a budget breaker to get a new pair. The second pair should be one of BOLT's picks. The eye wear you buy is something that you are going to wear when you know you need the extra boost of style. BOLT's pics are perfect for a afternoon or early evening social event.

Ray Ban is almost a staple piece to eye wear. They have some great looks that would look perfect from a suit to jeans and a t shirt. I also recommend checking out Oakley's collection. Yes they normally have a more active wear look to them, but I have found some really cool street style options too. A lot of their eye wear, like Ray Ban, have many color options in their styles. Polo and Spy have a little more of a limited selection, but very unique pieces to choose from in their collections. BOLT's executive editor has been raving about how much he wants the Oakley's clear framed glasses with colored lenses.
