Not just for rednecks and baseball players: Oakley gets stylish for the active fashionista

I have to admit, I have a pretty serious collection of sunglasses, but hey -- I live in the south and it's always sunny! And eye health is important, y'all! Plus, almost all of them are really pretty.

Out of all my sunglasses, though, I only have one pair of Oakleys, and I really just got them for sports because they stay put so well -- I certainly didn't get them because they made me look like Audrey Hepburn. I really always thought that Oakley sunglasses were generally designed with rednecks and baseball players in mind.


However, all that is changing. Oakley is coming out with some hot new styles for men and women, and they're really turning into a brand that combines fashion and function fluidly. They target their brand somewhat toward folks like snowboarders (and those who want to be just as bad-ass as snowboarders), so there's a funky edge to the design.

If you don't exactly see yourself as that type, keep in mind that Oakley designs the glasses so they stay put, meaning they might just be the perfect choice to take to the beach to read a book or play an impromptu game of beach volleyball. Don't be surprised to see me wearing the Pink Scripts pictured above this summer. See if Oakley suits your style by clicking through the gallery!
