Our New Favorite Sunglasses Under $25: Fort Knocks by Knockaround
If you’re anything like us, dropping $150+ on a pair of sunglasses isn’t only an assault on your budget, it’s impractical. Sunglasses need to be priced low enough so it isn’t a nest egg emergency when you lose them, sit on them, or crush them in your messenger bag.
That’s where Knockaround comes in. The San Diego based start-up offers designer-worthy shades for less than two tickets to the movies.
My favorites are the “Fort Knocks” in Frosted Grey. The translucent plastic is a welcome addition to this modern, streamlined take on the classic Wayfarer shape. The spring-loaded frames are light on your face, but don’t feel chintzy in your hands.
Here’s to looking great in your sunglasses on the cheap before you crush them/leave them in your friend’s car/lose them to your girlfriend.

When we don't train for the surprisingly strenuous task of controlling our own thoughts and emotions, we can't enforce any control over our attention, our reactions, and how we perceive our lives.
