Splurge of the Week:
Tag Heuer 'Squadra' Men's Sunglasses

Known for high-quality, luxury watches TAG Heuer launched a collection of innovative and stylish sunglasses a couple of months ago. Personally, I'm not a big fan of 'sporty' shades. And usually when I see someone off the field wearing these -- say with a sports coat while out to lunch with their co-workers -- it makes me cringe. But the 'Squadra' line deserves a second look.

On the athletic front, they are very well designed to provide all the things that the athlete would need. They fit well under a helmet, have a singular, slightly flexible lens for a full field of view, and fit any face very well.

Although they are designed to stay put on your face -- and they are snug -- they are also remarkably lightweight and expertly balanced. I am sure they are the lightest shades I have ever worn. And there are no moving parts in the uni-body form.


A far cry from the typical shiny, mirrored sport shades we see all the time. An active male could splurge on these sunglasses and wear them from the field to lunch on the town without worrying about offending my sensibilities.
