Presented in partnership with Christopher Cloos…
A great pair of sunglasses does to your face what a rug did to The Dude’s room: Ties it all together. Subtle yet always 100% effective, rocking a great pair of shades is easily the most effortless way a dude can instantly upgrade his style. Just toss them on an go – a lifesaver for the retinas in the summer months.
Over the past couple months, we’ve been preaching the gospel of Christopher Cloos sunglasses here at BroBible. Inspired by aspirational vibes of the Côte d’Azur, the Danish eyewear label boasts a timeless design that feels part Gatsby, part Sunset Strip-era Jim Morrison. It’s a flex of attitude without being too weird or flashy. We talked to guys behind Christopher Cloos a couple months back and it struck me: These guys really, really care about producing cool sunglasses that stand-out from the fold. They truly care about each and everyone of their customers. That’s important and a rarity in the crowded eyewear space.
When a pair of cheap shades broke over 4th of July weekend, I knew it was time to put my money where my mouth is and take the plunge for a true upgrade.
I’ve always been a fan of subtle tortoiseshell sunglasses, so I bought a pair of Christopher Cloos Mala – Bourbon. I’m obsessed with the color of the frames – a deep, malty color that’s still translucent in light like a stiff pour of Wild Turkey on the rocks. It’s my first serious investment in a high quality pair of sunglasses in a few years, so I couldn’t wait to try our what made Danish shades different.

My new Christopher Cloos shades were delivered in just a couple days to my house in California, where I popped them open the second the Fed-Ex man handed me the package. Yea, that’s me above, Budweiser Space Beer t-shirt and all.
The major difference, besides how great they look on your face, is the quality craftsmanship that goes into the construction of the frame. That’s to astigmatism, I’ve worn glasses of all shapes and sizes for the last 20-years of my life. Like a great automatic watch, there’s a certain weight and feel to a quality pair of sunglasses. You can just tell the difference between a $20 pair of shades that last a week and quality construction build to last in the bridge, temples, and hinges. Christopher Cloos sunglasses have hinges that are noticeably more durable than the last pair of Ray-Bans I owned, which is clutch when you want a pair of shades that’s going to last.
Next up, the lenses: Polarized CR39 lenses. Instantly clarity in the constant coastal California marine glare. When you haven’t had something so vivid for a while, it’s like going from a tube TV to 4K LED.
As a genuine customer, I’m thrilled by my Christopher Cloos experience so far. High quality shades that look great during golden hour, whether you’re sipping an Aperol spritz or just lounging at the beach for the day.
Can’t wait to style the other styles out.
