Sunglasses are the ultimate accessory for fashion fans, as they can be worn all year round and they instantly elevate any outfit. Splashing out on luxury eyewear gives the modern wardrobe a high-end finish, making designer frames the perfect gift for him.
The gift of sunglasses is also very practical, ticking all the boxes for an active gym-goer, fitness addict or outdoorsy adventurer. So if you’re shopping for someone who has more walking shoes than Bear Grylls or more sportswear than your local Sports Direct, sunglasses that are both functional and fashionable are the ticket.
Our 2020 Christmas Gift Guide features a selection of fantastic sporty sunglasses, perfect for his stocking.
