The sunglasses you wear reveal an incredible amount about your sense of style. Shape, model, color, how well it harmonizes with the rest of your style, which manufacturer you’ve chosen, all say tons about your style values and level of knowledge.

Yet they are often reduced to something men spend as little money as possible on. In this episode of the Care of Carl Podcast we talk all things sunglasses and how they elevate your style.

The overshirt has gone from being a garment worn by labourers during the 20th century, often seen on craftsmen and artists, to being a cornerstone in every man's wardrobe today.

At Care of Carl, we love this fantastic, versatile, sophisticated but laid-back stylish garment, and in this episode of the podcast, we give you our advice on how to wear an overshirt for every occasion.

In this episode of the Care of Carl Podcast, we're talking about the Italian joy of style and state of mind.
