In-Store vs. Online: Why Select Shades Is the Best of Both Worlds

When it comes to finding the perfect pair of sunglasses, the choice used to be simple: shop in-store or shop online. At Select Shades, we’ve combined the best of both worlds to create a seamless, premium shopping experience that puts you first.

Whether you’re stepping into one of our community-focused stores or browsing our ever-changing online collection, you’ll discover why Select Shades stands out as more than just another eyewear retailer.

  • High service standards: Expect a warm welcome, professional guidance, and an atmosphere where your style and comfort come first.
  • Enormous variety of brands: From everyday favorites like Suncloud, Abaco, Pit Viper, and Blenders to powerhouses like Gucci, Ray-Ban, and Oakley, we carry a selection you won’t find with most competitors.

The Smarter Way to Shop Online

Our website is designed to give you instant access to the eyewear styles people love most.

Here’s how it works:

  • Data-driven selection: We pull from thousands of purchases across our stores and events. That means the styles you see online are the true best-sellers—the shades everyone is reaching for.
  • Top-selling favorites from each brand: Whether it’s Ray-Ban’s timeless aviators, Jimmy Choo’s bold statement shades, or Persol’s cool factor, our site highlights the most popular styles in real time.
  • Seasonal rotation: Fashion moves fast, and so do we. Our online store updates continuously, reflecting current trends and keeping your look fresh.

Think of it as a real-time “flash mob” of the hottest shades—always changing, always relevant.

Your Choice: Pick Up or Have It Shipped

Shopping with Select Shades means flexibility:

  • Order online, then swing by your local store where a friendly team member will have your order packaged and ready.
  • Or, keep it simple and have your favorite pair shipped straight to your door.

Whatever your lifestyle, we make shopping intuitive and comfortable—because finding sunglasses you love should be easy.
