It’s mind-boggling to think of how multi-million-dollar designer empires all started with something as humble and simple as a sketch in a notepad, and for Oliver Peoples’ founder and creative director Larry Leight, one of those vintage sketches was the perfect way to represent and celebrate 25 years of stylish success. Yes, believe it or not, the eyewear empire has been serving up sunnies, frames, and fashionable everyday glasses for a whopping 25 years now, and in order to celebrate a quarter century of stunning optical style, the brand has released a limited-edition XXV collection, inspired by one of Larry Leight’s earliest sketches from 1989 – just two years after the brand’s launch. The XXV frames have a vintage feel with its thick frames and padded temple design, but adds modern details like custom engraving and silver hardware to complete the look. Available in both optical and sun versions, the XXV collection comes in a variety of tortoise designs, tiger patterns, as well as several solid shades – just make sure to scoop up your favorite before they’re all gone!

With all the ever-expanding trends in denim constantly tempting us to increase our shopping budget, it can be tough to choose which ones are worth the splurge. From summer’s floral and ikat to more fall-festive paisley and brocade, the possibilities are nearly endless, but one particular pattern is worth rocking all year-round, and that’s python! It’s sexy and edgy with plenty of personality, snake-printed denim is an easy way to amp up the style factor of your typical jeans-and-tee ensemble. Go classic with a straightforward python print like these Big Star ‘Alex’ Skinny Jeans in Snake, or go colorful with these cool acid wash Rich and Skinny ‘Legacy Sol’ Snake-Print jeggings. Not afraid to really stand out? Knock out two trends with one pair with these glossy coated 7 For All Mankind jeans in Burgundy Snake. But if you’re a newbie to printed pants and prefer to start out small, try out these True Religion Halle Watermark jeggings which infuse a more subtle snake effect into your classic blue denim wash. Whichever style you prefer, snake is the way to go this season!
