Sunglasses, like a hat, are a point of distinction and individuality. The difference is, of course, lots of people wear sunglasses and very few brave a hat. Having recently watched, “Public Enemies,” (where, coincidentally, both hats and sunglasses are in an abundance), I was keen to find out where Johnny Depp´s retro circular sunnies, are available. Moscot has some really unique styles, and one design seems to be a particularly credible alternative to Depp´s 1930s vintage pair. The Timothy model has two different frame options, and four lens colors, from which to choose. The amber frames, and the cosmitan brown lens, also seem pretty similar to those worn by Depp’s character, John Dillinger, in the film. These sunnies have a narrow frame, and simple detailing, which creates a retro and intellectual image. The sunglasses in the film, give Dillinger social stature and an air of gentility. This is exactly what a classic accessory should promote. Dillinger is the epitome of a bespoke gentleman, in his choice of cars, clothes, and yes, his sunglasses. With this in mind, maybe it’s time for men to ditch the trashy.
