Introducing Green — A Fresh Shade Joins the Clippies Line-up
If you're already a fan of Clippies — or you've been curious about clip-on sunglasses that don’t flip, flop, or feel like an afterthought — then this is exciting news. We’re thrilled to unveil a brand-new green tinted lens for the Coloured range, bringing a fresh twist to your daily eyewear.
Why Green? The Story Behind the Shade
When we launched the Coloured series, we wanted to offer lenses that aren’t just functional, but expressive. Tints like yellow and dark were great starts. But green has always had a special place in optics and aesthetics:
-
Green tends to preserve contrast and can reduce eye strain more gently than stronger tints.
-
It complements many lens and frame colours (especially gold, which is a signature in our design).
-
It evokes a feeling of balance, nature, and calm — perfect for everyday wear when glare isn’t overwhelming but you want a softer filter.
We’ve refined the green tint so it’s not too dark or too bold — it sits just right, giving you UV protection and stylish flair without overpowering your view.
What Makes Clippies Stand Out
Before we dive into the new green, a quick reminder of what makes Clippies unique:
-
They’re non-flip clip-ons designed specifically for round and Pathos-style prescription glasses — so they look intentional, not tacked on.
-
All models come with gold frames, reinforcing a premium, cohesive look.
-
We offer Polarized, Mirrored, and Coloured lens styles. Now, the Coloured option includes Dark, Yellow, and Green.
-
UV protection is guaranteed. Every Clippies lens is made to block UVA and UVB (UV400).
-
You’ll receive a hard case and a microfibre cloth with your Clippies — careful protection for your lenses on the go.
So, the new green slot into this well-thought design philosophy, adding both form and function.
How the Green Enhances Your Experience
Here’s why we think the green tint will quickly become a favourite:
| Feature | What You’ll Notice |
|---|---|
| Contrast & Clarity | Green preserves midtones well, offering a balanced view without flattening shadows or highlights. |
| Comfort in Variable Light | It’s mild enough for casual daylight, yet protective enough when the sun peeks through. |
| Style Match | Works beautifully with gold frames, complements everyday outfits, and offers a fresh alternative to standard tints. |
Early testers noted that green gives a soothing “filter effect” — it doesn’t feel like sunglasses so much as a visual enhancement.
-
The green variant is now available in the Single Lens option under the Coloured range.
-
For 3-Pack Clippies, you’ll be able to include the green shade alongside your other favourite tints.
-
As always, double-check your frame style (must be round or Pathos-shaped) before ordering.
Tips for Using the Green Tint
-
Use it for walking, reading outdoors, or casual outings where you want just a hint of shade.
-
Pair with more intense tints (like dark or polarized) when glare is strong (e.g. driving, beach).
-
Keep your Clippies in the provided hard case when not in use to avoid scratches — especially for lighter tints.
