Costa Sunglasses, manufacturer of the first color-enhancing all-polarized glass sunglass lens, added three lifestyle frames to its fall 2022 collection—Palmas, Irie and Paunch XL.

An extension of the company’s Spring 2022 lifestyle collection, the three frames feature similar designs and detailing, including interior sculpting resembling the hull of a boat. 

  • Palmas, the more feminine of the three, offers clean angles and a non-slip Hydrolite nose pad. 
  • Named for the Caribbean expression “everything’s good,” Irie cuts down on UV rays and glare in an oversized shape. The unisex frame displays hybrid-round features with a keyhole nose piece. 
  • Paunch XL takes its name from the surf break in Bocas del Toro. The XL version is larger than the original.

“Welcome additions to Costa’s growing lifestyle category, Palmas, Irie and Paunch XL, pair well with adventures on and off the water—scouting surf and soaking up the sun to sailing to remote beaches and happy hour cervezas,” said John Acosta, vice president, Marketing, Costa Sunglasses. “Costa built its reputation on technical frames and lenses. These frames have the same lens technology you expect from Costa, but with a sleek style for everyday adventures.” 

Palmas, Irie and Paunch XL are made with Costa’s polarized, color-enhancing 580 lens technology for clarity and definition.  Lenses include 580 glass or polycarbonate, prescription and multiple colorways, depending on the activity; lightweight bio-resin frames to reduce their carbon footprint; textured Hydrolite nose pads for a comfortable, secure fit; and metal hinges for durability.
