Spring Sunglass Styles Inspired by the Kentucky Derby

Garrett Leight Pink Polarized Sunglasses at The Optical. Co

Not much celebrates the beginning of spring quite like the over-the-top, elevated style of the Kentucky Derby — big hats, bold prints, bright colors, and, of course, the most exciting two minutes in sports.

At THE OPTICAL. CO, we’re tipping our (very fashionable) hats to the spirit of Derby Week with a fresh collection of sunglasses that bring the same flair, energy, and elegance as the Churchill Downs crowd. Whether you're headed to a Derby party, enjoying a rooftop brunch, or simply stepping into the new season with style, our curated lineup of spring shades is made to turn heads.

Bold Colors, Timeless Shapes
