Over the past 23 years, Vancouver-based brand Clearly has offered an ever-growing line of eyewear, and this summer, we’re checking out a pair of sunnies from their Kam Dhillon designer collection.
Back in 2000, Canadian entrepreneur Roger Hardy launched the company that would soon become part of a $175 billion dollar industry and Canada’s top eyewear store.
Clearly’s Mission to Eliminate Poor Vision
Clearly also fights educational barriers by advocating for eye health awareness and the importance of eye exams through initiatives such as their Free Glasses for Kids program (open to children 10 and under at all Clearly stores), Clearly for Community activations, and partnerships with Seva Canada and Tim Horton’s Foundation Camps.
The Whitney has a vintage vibe with its cool cat-eye shape. Each arm contains a silver metal accent where the hardware meets the frame for a bit of a modernist look, and these Red Havanas have a red and black tortoise-shelled pattern that pairs well with pretty much everything in my wardrobe!

They’re also available in Dark Purple, Shiny Black and Dark Burgundy and are completely customizable, including frame and lens colour, as readers, as a prescription, plus polarized-, progressive, single-vision correction, anti-fog and tinted lens options.
Clearly’s website contains a Virtual Mirror feature, so you can select a frame, allow Clearly.ca to access your camera, and see it in real time on your device before committing.
You can also favourite items to compare to other models before adding to your shopping ‘bag’. Once you’ve chosen the model, simply fill in its name, a prescription (if applicable) and lens customizations. Turn-around is pretty fast and reliable too (less than two weeks for prescription glasses).
The smart and stylish Whitney starts at CAD $100 for the frame. Clearly also offers free shipping and returns. Visit Clearly online to view the entire range, including designer brands Chaps, Coach New York, Emporio Armani, Gucci, Oakley, Persol, Ray-Ban and more.
