SUNGLASSES CHIMI AND OFF-WHITE : THE ACCESSORY THAT SIGNS A LOOK
CHIMI, THE STOCKHOLMEYEWEAR BORN FROM A BROKEN PAIR
The story of Chimi begins with a frame broken. When Charlie Lindström breaks his glasses, he realizes that his style has completely changed in six years but that he wants exactly the same pair — glasses, unlike the rest, escape trends; they say who we are. He founded Chimi in Stockholm in 2016 with his friend Daniel Djurdjevic. Ten years later, the brand is one of the references of Scandinavianeyewear : frames in Italian acetate, stainless steel or titanium, sunglasses with total UVA and UVB protection, and a design that rejects caution.
03, 04, 05, 06: THE SHAPES CHIMI
Chimi does not name her glasses, she numbers them. Each number designates a shape of frame, then available in colors and two sizes, Medium and Large. The 04 is the best known — square with softened corners, the model that made the brand; the 05 rounds the line; 03 refines and lengthens; the 06 goes up the exterior angles. In Black, Brown, Grey or Tortoise, the acetate is thick, hand-polished, and the lenses are mass-tinted. The choice is made first by the shape, then by the size: Medium for a narrow face, Large for more than 14 cm of temple width.
OFF-WHITE ALPS: THE OVERSIZE ACCORDING TO VIRGIL
The Off-White Alps are the other proposition in the department: an oversize frame with Virgil Abloh, in black or tortoiseshell, with the crossed arrows of the house on the branch. Where Chimi aims for everyday life, Alps aims for going out — the glasses that you notice before you wear them.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SUNGLASSES
The classic rule is that you place the frame against the face: square on a round face, rounded on an angular face. In streetwear, we happily transgress it — an 04 on a square face gives a tougher, more assertive look. Two checks before buying: the total width, which must equal that of the face at the temples, and the height of the lens, which must not touch the eyebrows or the cheekbone. The jewellery department is the other finishing accessory in our selection; our caps and bonnets are worn with it, and our sneakers close the outfit at the other end.
