A CH favorite, Erik Schedin of Sweden makes a finely edited collection of essentials, accessories and products sharing a pared-down aesthetic. Proving his chops as a designer, standouts include items that Schedin created himself, which have just been newly relaunched.

First dropped in 2008 in just one size, his white leather sneakers—the epitome of understatement—are back in production in sizes 41-45 (8-11.5 US) for around $200.

Schedin also re-released his tote bag ($353). The new version, made from boat-cover fabric, features hand-dyed, tonal cotton handles and an off-white drawstring with matching tape covering the interior seams.

The sneakers and tote are available now on his online shop and Dover Street Market.

The latest in statement-making shades push form over function with fantastical designs. These five pairs might impair your vision, but you’ll be far from invisible.

Linda Farrow leads the pack with recent notable collaborations including Jeremy Scott and Alexander Wang. For British designer Todd Lynn, the revived eyewear label goes industrial with perforated stainless steel. They’re available on the Linda Farrow site for $340.

Stevieboi’s affordably outlandish frames have graced the faces of Lady Gaga and Santigold. Snap up these futuristic Ibotz for $65 on his website .

Kerin Rose has built a cult following with her decadently tricked-out shades. Inspired by punk icon Wendy O. Williams, the W.O.W sunglasses double as a decidedly practical headband. They’re $220 at her online store.

Named after Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin, Romain Kremer x Mykita’s designed this conceptual pair to protect the mind’s eye. They come out this fall.

This season, German label Bless plays on mirrored lenses with a surreal twist. These aviators, in stock at Colette and Project No.8 for around $300, transport the wearer to a rocky beach.

Emerging like edgy first blooms, a slew of new sunglasses from Stockholm are challenging other fashion capitals known for quality, stylish accessories. Both fashion forward frames and reconceived classics pop as the main styles, but three brands in particular have us excited for blues skies ahead.

Whyred (above) introduced handmade tortoiseshell frames with a sophisticated retro aesthetic. Taking their inspiration from The Who manager Pete Meaden, the look fits right in with the brand’s modern collections abiding by the motto “clean living under difficult circumstances.” The unisex sunglasses sell online for $340.

The Scandinavian staple Cheap Monday leaves nothing to chance with a ride range of styles and colors. (See more in the gallery below.) Putting their spin on the classic Wayfarer, the label adds wire arms in place of plastic while leaving the main shape intact. Rounded edges and cat eye frames in pastels make a more feminine choice, while stylish dark blue plastic rims and gun metal wire aviators bring a harder edge. Pick them up from their store in Copenhagen and online from Urban Outfitters or Tobi for around $40.

The Local Firm continues to reinvent the standard plastic sunglasses—last year, by squaring out the frame and oversizing it slightly. Now they’re even bigger with a more obvious block shape inspired by 3D glasses and ’80s electronica. The dark gray frames of its two models (Shadow or Dust) will sit nicely on the tanned and buff as well as the more pasty-faced. Both styles sell online for kr 995.
