What is it?
Costa Boundless Rimless Collection
What sets them apart?
Costa’s Boundless line includes four new styles, West Bay, Seagrove, Gulf Shore and Oyster Bay, as well as four existing rimless options, Ballast, Cayan, Galveston and Rockport. Six of the eight rimless sunglasses (excluding Rockport and Cayan) will be available for the first time with a green mirror lens option, as well as gray, copper, and blue mirror, in Costa’s patented color enhancing polarized 580 lenses.
The brand’s 580 lens technology selectively filters out harsh yellow and harmful high-energy ultraviolet blue light. Filtering yellow light enhances reds, blues and greens, and produces better contrast and definition while reducing glare and eye fatigue. Absorbing high-energy blue light cuts haze, producing greater visual clarity and sharpness.
How do I use it?
Well, just like any pair of shades, you put them on and look good. But, here’s more info on the new styles:
Costa’s new West Bay style, named for the long inlet alongside Galveston Island in Texas, is a medium sport aviator, blending a classic shape with performance features such as durable integral hinge technology and hypoallergenic rubberized nose pads and temple tips for superior fit. Frame color choices include shiny black and shiny tortoise.
The Seagrove style offers a square-shaped rimless lens, accommodating a variety of face shapes with its large and relaxed fit. Also available in shiny black and tortoise frame choices, rubberized temple tips keep the sunglasses comfortably in place all day.
Named after the iconic beachfront town along the Gulf Coast, Costa’s new Gulf Shore style features an extra-large rectangular-shaped lens shape, built from a nearly indestructible bio-based resin nylon material, which ensures the frames hold their shape even in extreme hot and cold weather. Bio-based resins reduce Costa’s manufacturing process emissions, and cuts the company’s overall carbon footprint significantly, a key part of the brand’s sustainability promise.
Costa’s Oyster Bay style also offers a rectangular frame shape, in a medium fit, featuring rubberized nose pads and temple tips, sturdy integral hinge technology and bio-based resin frame construction.
