When Season 4 of Ballers started people were going crazy asking “What Sunglasses is The Rock Wearing in Ballers Season 4?” Well, you are in luck because our designer sunglasses expert spotted these sunnies and knew already that Dwayne Johnson, AKA The Rock, is wearing the new DITA FLIGHT SEVEN sunglasses which are an incredibly sleek crafted pair of sunglasses.
The Dita Flight-Seven sunglasses began as a tribute to the supersonic military aircraft of the 1970s. These jets combined aerodynamic grace with revolutionary technology to reach speeds in excess of Mach 3; the fighter pilots who commanded these jets became international icons for their daring and courageous attitude, as well as for the classic aviator’s style that followed them onto the tarmac.

Theres no doubt Kendall Jenner looks great in just about everything, but past summer she was seen sporting a pair of Ray-Ban Hexagon Sunglasses and literally set a trend that can’t be stopped. When it comes to sunglasses, especially, Jenner has been the head trend-setter for what’s in and out, so when she’s seen in a pair of shades, you KNOW they are a must have. She was seen this past summer sporting a pair of Ray-Ban RB3548 sunglasses, which basically means you have to purchase yourself a pair right now.
The Ray-Ban hexagonal sunglasses are the evolution of round featuring flat crystal lenses. Round shape has met flat lenses with these sunnies. This hexagonal round metal shape features thin coined profiles and flat crystal lenses on classic gold with extremely thin temples.

It is no secret that LeBron James is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, but it’s also no secret that he’s one of the most fashion-forward players in the game too—obvious through his Thom Browne TB015 sunglasses. James made his teammates all wear coordinating Thom Browne outfits for the NBA finals and he paired his oh-so-trendy look with a pair of silver-mirrored sunglasses by the same designer. How it’s possible to be a star both on and off the court, we have no idea, but a pair of Thom Browne sunglasses could be the answer.

#2 Kim Kardashian-West and Kourtney Kardashian Dior Visor Moment
View this post on Instagram
Summer of 2018 we saw a comeback of the retro Visor and it wasn’t until Kim Kardashian-West and Kourtney Kardashian posting an Instagram pic vacationing in Turks & Caicos sporting the Dior Visor that we knew visors were here to stay!
The Dior Club1 visor, a simple portion of a hat, has a status as a classic senior accessory, adored by bridge-playing nanas in Boca. Golfers are often seen wearing the hat on the green. The hollow hat was also the signature of the 90’s, often complemented with bleached tips. Call it visual birth control. Call it tacky. But, naturally, the visor—like the icky-chic fanny packs—is making a big comeback.
