The TOMS team (known for comfortable, unisex shoes that give one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair purchased, announced a new One for One initiative just now: sunglasses! For every pair of sunglasses purchased TOMS will help give sight to people in need through medical treatment, prescription eyeglasses, and sight-saving surgery. The sunglasses come in a wide array of styles, from a Jackie O style to a more unisex pair that you see above. We’ll keep you updated, but TOMS says in just a few hours, you’ll be able to pick up a pair for yourself (and help a person in need) at Nordstrom. The sunglasses are so great and the website has a virtual try on that allows you to upload your own photo and place all of the styles on your photo so you can see what you will look like!
