The Wind sunglasses by Anea Hill are officially back. This time they come with polarized lenses and all the thoughtful details that made them a bestseller from the start. Inspired by the unforgettable green curtain dress worn by Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind, this bold cateye frame is both cinematic and timeless. When it first launched, The Wind sunglasses quickly sold out. Now they return with sharper clarity, enhanced comfort, and the same signature style that put them on the map.
If you have been waiting for the perfect everyday pair with a little personality, The Wind sunglasses are ready to become your new favorite. Let us walk you through what makes this frame so special and why this relaunch deserves your attention.
From The One to The Wind
Every Anea Hill frame begins with a story. The Wind was first imagined as a spinoff of The One, the original design AshLee created for herself and wore every day. It was her go to pair. From that personal style came the idea to create something a little bolder, a little moodier, but still classic.
Scarlett O’Hara’s green curtain dress inspired AshLee to bring The Wind to life. The idea of transforming something simple into something powerful, beautiful, and resilient was exactly what she wanted these frames to embody. The Wind sunglasses are a nod to reinvention, strength, and elegance. They were created for women who carry themselves with quiet confidence and who value pieces that tell a story.
The Signature Design of The Wind
The Wind sunglasses are handcrafted from a glossy green acetate, a plant based material derived from cotton and known for its durability and depth. The color is a rich forest green that shifts beautifully depending on the light. It is bold without being loud, statement making but always refined.
The frame is a slightly oversized shape, making it flattering on round and oval face shapes in particular. The fit is lightweight and balanced, with adjustable comfort around end the temples for all day wear.
From brunch to errands to weekend travel, The Wind sunglasses are versatile enough to wear with everything while still standing out in all the right ways.
Why Polarized Lenses Matter
One of the most exciting updates to The Wind is the addition of polarized lenses. This change elevates the sunglasses beyond style and into performance. Polarized lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, roads, and glass. They improve visual clarity and contrast while protecting your eyes from strain and fatigue.
Here are a few reasons you will love the polarized update:
Less squinting in bright light
Clearer views and enhanced depth perception
Improved eye comfort throughout the day
Extra UV protection that helps preserve vision health
If you have sensitive eyes or spend time driving, outdoors, or on the water, The Wind sunglasses will change the way you see and feel.
Anea Hill Quality and Craftsmanship
At Anea Hill, every frame is produced through a six to nine month process that honors precision, care, and slow fashion values. Each pair is shaped, polished, and assembled by hand using traditional eyewear techniques. The acetate used in The Wind sunglasses is eco friendly and chosen for its strength and beauty.
The hinges are sturdy yet flexible, allowing for a comfortable fit without pressure. The lenses are made from lightweight material, known for optical clarity and scratch resistance.
Unlike fast fashion alternatives, Anea Hill sunglasses are made to last season after season.
A Color That Works with Everything
At first glance, green sunglasses may sound limiting. But The Wind proves otherwise. This particular shade of green acts almost as a neutral. It pairs effortlessly with black, cream, camel, white, and even soft pink or navy. The glossy finish gives the frame a high end polish that elevates every outfit.
Whether you are styling them with a tee and denim or a blazer and tailored trousers, The Wind green adds just the right touch of individuality without ever looking out of place.
Limited Runs Only
When The Wind sunglasses first launched, they sold out quickly. And we expect the same this time around. Anea Hill intentionally produces each style in small quantities to preserve quality and exclusivity. We want every customer to feel like they are wearing something truly special.
If you have had your eye on The Wind sunglasses, now is the time to shop. They are not on preorder. They are live, in stock, and ready to ship.
What Customers Are Saying
Feedback from our community has been nothing short of glowing. Customers often tell us that The Wind is the most flattering frame they have ever owned. Some describe it as their power pair. Others say it is the first pair they reach for every morning. The green color gets more compliments than expected, and the comfort level keeps them coming back for more.
With the new polarized feature, we are hearing even more love from those who need both fashion and function in their daily wardrobe.
Styled Like a Classic
There is a reason The Wind feels familiar yet fresh. It draws from the silhouettes worn by some of the most iconic women in fashion history. In fact, we recently shared a post about Princess Diana sunglasses, and The Wind would feel right at home among her collection.
This is timeless eyewear. It is designed to be worn for years, not months. It is created for women who appreciate longevity, elegance, and intentional style.
A Note from the Founder
Designing The Wind was a deeply personal project. I wanted to create something beautiful, bold, and wearable that could live in your handbag or carry on and always feel right. With the new polarized lenses, I am proud to say it is even better.
Earlier this summer, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Goop HQ and share what makes Anea Hill so unique. The Wind is a perfect example of the kind of intentional design we brought with us. It is classic, but modern. Elegant, but everyday.
This is the pair I wear when I need to feel pulled together in two seconds. It is the pair I reach for when I want to feel strong but soft. I hope you love them as much as I do.
