Yeah, yeah, we all know that San Francisco doesn't have the most summery of summers. But in no way does this mean we eschew the season's signature accessory: sunglasses. Au contraire, SF-ers love their shades, whether oversized and glam or retro-cool. Along with the fog-induced glare, we do have some a few bright days plus lots of sunshine-y getaways to look forward to. So as the July 4^th holiday nears (can you believe it?), it's time to shop for some new frames—a feat made easy with this guide to the top spots for sunnies in the city. (Note: Stores are listed from north to south.)
