What better way to accessorize a construction worker-inspired look of cotton canvas separates and chunky footwear than with safety goggle-esque sunglasses? Slightly sinister like Lawrence Fishburne's glasses in The Matrix, these Gentle Monster frames made in collaboration with Hood By Air put mischievous spin on utilitarian ensembles.
