That “j” is no typo–Indivijual Eyewear is all about unique, one-of-a-kind eyeglasses and sunglasses that are not only perfectly sized but match your hair, skin, eyes and personality.

Wood is good with Portland’s Shwood sunglasses; two handcrafted retro-style frames are available, each using Zebrawood, Wenge or Maple with Italian Carl Zeiss lenses.

Oakley and DQM bring together two of our loves (pork fat and polarized eyewear) and ham it up with Bacon Frogskins; we admit it’s hit or miss, but we’d pig out in these any day.

They’re uber-lux at $4,000, but Oakley’s C SIX sunglasses are worth it: each is crafted from a 40-layer thick block of carbon fiber with a titanium spine and rotary cams for flexibility.

Dragon Alliance’s Machine sunglasses are a motley blend of cool industrial vibes plus snowboard aesthetic with nylon shield lenses, a stippled stainless steel frame, and 3 barrel hinge.

Just in time for Fall, Oakley’s King’s Camo Straight Jacket shades feature desert or woodland graphics; each also utilizes VR28 lenses with enhanced contrast and depth perception.

Australian eyewear brand Colab’s 2009/2010 collection has begun trickling out to retailers; eclectic is the name of the game, with artists given complete freedom to design frames.

Superdry’s Co Pilot shades refresh the classic Aviator; choose from sharp blue/chrome or black/gold colorways, both sporting logo-stamped diagonal crossbars and rubber earpieces.

Oakley’s Gascan shades may be inspired by muscle cars, but these special edition Bob Burnquist specs are fuel sippers: they’re made with recycled materials and sport bamboo accents.

These Deadstock Metal Flipouts are the real vintage deal: created in the 30s-70s and in storage until recently, they sport round metal frames with both clear and tinted flip-up lenses.

Cassius’ Slate Le Corbusier shades feature black gradient CR-39 acetate lenses–the most scratch resistant uncoated optical plastic; also: engraved Cassius logo at the sides.

Vans’ Spicoli 2 sunglasses drop the metal accents at the hinges for an even cleaner Wayfarer style; choose from clear variants with “Off The Wall” logos or ultra-simple solid blacks.

Primitive and Oakley team up for a pair of Frogskins that sport all the best colors of twilight, with a black to purple gradient, hints of midnight blue and a clear finish to top it all off.

Alkemy’s Sunglass Shirt will have passersby doing a second take, not because of the shades and suspenders–they’re fake–but the real metal loops that you can hook your fingers through.

You’ll be limited to Aviators, but these Hackett Bespoke Folding Sunglasses sport a hidden mechanism in the nose bridge that lets you fold your shades away when not in use.

Nearly impossible to lose due to their size, these Quay Shield shades sport large mirrored lenses which are large without being bug-eyed; we also dig the white temple and bridge.
