Dr Martens names new Americas leader
British heritage-meets-fashion brand Dr Martens has faced its challenges in the US in recent periods — think the teething troubles with its LA distribution centre earlier this decade and ongoing sales falls in the Americas generally. But the US and wider region remain key for the brand and it has appointed Paul Zadoff as the company's new president of the Americas to drive growth in the region. Starting next month, he'll lead the experienced regional team in 'driving the performance, growth, and profitability of the Americas business'. He'll also join the global leadership team and will report directly to CEO Ije Nwokorie. The brand has been present in the US since 1980 and today across the Americas region it has 59 owned stores, with total regional sales accounting for nearly 40% of group revenue. Zadoff joins from luxury eyewear brand Caddis and Dr Martens said he 'brings 30 years of leadership experience with iconic global brands spanning the footwear, sporting goods, fashion apparel, and accessories sectors. He has consistently guided teams through periods of growth and transformation throughout his career'. In two decades at Nike, he held a range of global and regional leadership roles in sales, product and brand, culminating as MD of Nike Pacific. Before that he'd been president of fitness company TRX Training, VP of global sales at Patagonia and senior VP Americas commercial operations at Levi Strauss & Co. Nwokorie said it's 'a testament to the power of our brand to have someone of Paul's calibre join our team to shape and execute our regional strategy. His experience leading teams, working in partnership with wholesale customers, building omnichannel businesses and driving growth at some of the world's most recognisable brands will be hugely valuable. I look forward to working with Paul and have no doubt he will help to take our Americas business to another level'. Dr Martens divides its business into three regions with EMEA headquartered in London, Americas headquartered in Portland and APAC headquartered in Hong Kong. The overall head office is in the UK.

Best sunglasses for men in 2025
Best overall: Caddis Miklos Caddis is a newer brand that launched in 2017 and started out by selling readers, so I was happily surprised by its sunglasses that are incredibly stylish, really comfortable, and durable thanks to their solid bio-based acetate frames and coated lenses. The Miklos are square frames — kind of a modern update on the classic Wayfarer style — with scratch, dirt, and grease-resistant polarized lenses that do a great job reducing glare, but still allow you to see your smartphone screen. Best budget: Kent Wang Keyhole This small DTC brand should be on your radar not only for its superb sunglasses but for menswear in general because you're not going to find a better value for what you get from Kent Wang. All their sunglasses are made to exacting standards while still coming in at the reasonable price of $55. Still, the Keyhole (available in two sizes) is especially handsome with its retro frames carved from cellulose acetate and polarized lenses that provide distortion-free clarity. Best for comfort: Silhouette Midtown The Austrian brand Silhouette has been around since the 1960s and continues to produce innovative sunglasses that are stylish and so comfortable you may forget you have them on. The Midtown is incredibly light with retro '70s aviator frames made from the brand's high-tech plastic that's feather light, but still takes a beating, and is comfortable for all-day wear. Best classic style: Raen Remmy I've had a pair of the Raen Remmy sunglasses for a couple of years and they've become one of my go-tos for their classic style that pairs well with pretty much any outfit, along with their comfort and durability. The Remmy, which comes in two different sizes (49mm or 52mm) to perfectly fit any face, has a 1950s vibe with its notched bridge, lightly horned temple, and rounded lenses. Best for sports: Koo Cosmo The Italian brand Koo is best known for its high-performance cycling sunglasses, but it also makes the Cosmo, a more general-use lifestyle model perfect for any outdoor activity (I wear them for my daily run) that still has all the technology of the brand's other styles. They're made from Grilamid — a thermoplastic that's very light, flexible, shock resistant, and non-allergenic — feature high-impact polarized Zeiss lenses, and are still good-looking enough for wearing when you're not exercising. Best aviators: Diff Camden The Diff Camden aviators, like the brand — a socially conscious company that supports various vision initiatives for those in need — is, well, a little different, but in a good way. Besides having polarized lenses with 100% UV protection, these aviators are made from stainless steel but feature an acetate overlay that gives them a truly unique look. Best tech: Meta Ray-Ban Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are the brand's second iteration of smart glasses. While they function similarly to the previous Ray-Ban Stories glasses with smart features like Bluetooth audio for phone calls and music, and cameras for photos and video, they have upgraded tech. The new pair has better audio quality, longer battery life, higher resolution cameras, and AI integration. I love my Ray-Ban Meta glasses because they maintain the classic look of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, despite being packed with futuristic tech. They're great for content creators, vloggers, or anyone who'd like to capture life from a first-person point of view. Best for a splurge: Vada Kauboi Vada's super stylish Kauboi sunglasses have a square, slightly oversized look that is both relevant and timeless. They're handmade in Japan from organic cellulose acetate, feature 18k gold detailing and a wire core, come in more than 20 combinations to suit your personal style, and will definitely get you noticed. How we tested the best sunglasses for men We used long-term real-world testing — wearing the sunglasses on beach days, during daily exercise, and on long hikes — compared various brands, poured over hundreds of customer comments, and relied on our years of experience in the industry to find the perfect shades. Besides judging such things as craftsmanship, frame materials, comfort, and lens quality, we also looked at areas like sustainability and value in determining our choices.

Brooke Shields is a vision — especially in these chic readers
Glasses wearers unite! For a time, it felt totally taboo to see a star out and about with corrective lenses. But now? More and more celebs are proving there's nothing wrong with wearing specs. In fact, they look pretty cool and stylish in them! One such A-lister is actress Brooke Shields. Whether she's wearing tinted aviators with a metal rim or a heavy plastic frame, Shields always looks stunning in her eyeglasses. I recently fell in love with a translucent pink pair that I spied her wearing on Instagram and just had to find them for myself. Turns out, they're actually readers! Now, if you're like me, you immediately think of those decidedly-not stylish spectacles on the swivel rack in the back of the drugstore by the pharmacy. These are not those. Instead, Shields's Caddis frames are quite chic. Caddis has been around since 2016, on a mission to create corrective lenses that aren't, well, ugly. They embrace aging as a thing of beauty, and all their frame reflect that. They started out with just readers, but now they also offer sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses. In total, there are more than 50 styles to choose from. Given how attractive and well-designed Caddis's products are, it shouldn't be surprising that Shields isn't the brand's only famous fan. Gwyneth Paltrow, Juliette Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Katie Couric are among the other stars who've been spotted wearing their glasses. Shop more celeb-loved Caddis styles below. The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
