The Smith Cheetah Polarized Sunglasses, a Retro Favorite Reborn
Anyone who has searched cheetah smith sunglasses is looking for a specific silhouette, and this pair delivers it: a rounded cat-eye brow that dates back to 1988, now rebuilt with upgraded Carbonic lenses for a crystal clear view.
What It Is Made Of
- Carbonic lenses offer impact resistance and clear optics
- 100% UV protection
- Durable cellulose acetate frames
- Barrel hinges
- Adjustable wire-core temple
The rounded cat-eye brow is unchanged from the original design, and a 6-base lens curvature provides a modest wraparound fit for a medium fit, medium coverage feel.
Who These Are For
This is a pair for anyone who wants a retro cat-eye shape that still performs on the water or on the beach, with the adjustable wire-core temple letting the fit be tuned rather than left one size fits all. The 100% UV protection and Carbonic lens construction make them practical for full days spent outdoors on a South Florida beach or boat, not just a fashion accessory.
How to Wear and Care for Them
Adjust the wire-core temple for a snug fit behind the ears, then use the included Smith Archive collection fleece bag to protect the acetate frame and Carbonic lenses when they are not on your face. Wipe lenses with a clean microfiber cloth rather than a shirt hem to avoid scratching the Carbonic lens coating.
