What happened when we pitted two of our top selling lifestyle sunglasses against each other?
We put the Waylons and June through their paces to help you decide which pair you should go for this season.
Waylons vs June
Waylons are a seasoned VALLON favorite - a classic round shape designed for a modern, sporty fit.
June are a new release for this year - inspired by a 50s rectangular shape with a hint of cateye, they have a more everyday city style aesthetic.
But which one is right for you?

Shape & Style
Waylons: Looking for an alternative to more mainstream round acetate sunglasses? The Waylons are the perfect sunglasses for you. Made from handcrafted acetate, the round shape suits both men and women and can be adapted for sports or relaxed weekends.
June: For those seeking 50s style paired with a high-polished acetate finish, June are the right option. Sophisticated with a refined rectangular design, they come in a selection of classic colors to suit every outfit and occasion.

Adventuring Outdoors
Winner: Waylons
Although the Waylons and June are both fitted with performance V52® lenses - the Waylons are the winning pair for outdoor antics and adventures! A key USP of the Waylons is their detachable sports headstrap that can be quickly clipped on and off for sporty pursuits. A subtle design feature that keeps your sunglasses secure no matter what.
