Buying from a selection of wholesale sunglasses in New York is something very ideal or any visitor to the Big Apple should do, especially when visiting during the summer months. Alas, not everyone visits NYC during the summer months, but having sunglasses is still recommended all-year round, except when it’s winter. Upon arriving in New York, it would be best first to assess the weather. I visited New York in the first week of August, so I was sure I would look good with my shades on. However, NYC weather can be pretty extreme, and the windy autumn months of September onwards can be a great excuse to have some trendy eyewear, if only to protect your eyes.

Aside from the sunny weather, humidity can also be strong, making it important to complement your sunglasses with light clothing. But whether you’re staying indoors or outdoors, New York fashion commands accessorizing, and looking for the best from a collection of wholesale sunglasses to complete an outfit is highly recommended. New York City is an eclectic city, a melting pot of various cultures, so any visitor will not feel out of place when experimenting with new and edgier looks.

One you’ve arrived at the airport, there are already some good stores that you can buy sunglasses on. But then, as with any other city, merchandise bought in the airport can be pricier compared to stores in the commercial districts, so unless absolutely necessary and you feel like you want to complete your outfit ASAP, then it might be a good idea to make sunglass shopping in New York as an actual event. You are in one of the trendiest cities in the world, so there would be no shortage of hops in the city where you can purchase sunglasses.

When in the city already, you may check out some stores in Midtown. There are eyewear specialty shops that have very knowledgeable staff and a wide array of selections. The pieces in these shops though, cater to a more sophisticated crowd. So, if you want sunglasses that are chi but understated, this area is for you.

If you are more into eccentric styles and designs, try looking at the retail nooks in Little Italy. What’s great about shopping in these places is that their inventory usually leans towards vintage pieces, so you can get something classy and yet unique, so you won’t have to worry about running into someone who has exactly the same shades as yours.

There are also a number of sunglass shops on SoHo and the Lower East Side that have the best customer service. The owners of these shops are hands-on in recommending what’s best for their customers, so you don’t just get the most stylish sunglasses, but you also feel amazing with the amount of attention and care you get.

You will definitely have a fun and exciting time buying sunglasses in New York. You’re in one of the world’s cultural capitals, so every experience here is heightened and one-of-a-kind. It is quite easy to get carried away though, so just make sure that you won’t stray too far from your original intention of buying sunglasses. But then, you’re in New York, so might as well enjoy every single moment.
