Layton Lamell Takes Michael Kors’ Summer Shades For a Spin
NYC creative Layton Lamell styles summer in the city’s must-have companion: amazing sunglasses.
Summer in New York isn’t just skyscrapers, says actor, model, and creative Layton Lamell. “It’s about exploring all sides of the city — from the busyness of downtown to the calm of Rockaway Beach,” he says. “It’s subway rides to the coast, boardwalk ice cream runs, and golden hours on the sand.”
Whether he’s in one of the concrete jungle’s iconic corners or enjoying the serenity of the coast, his style has one common thread: “Glasses are the anchor to every look,” he explains. “They don’t just complete an outfit, they frame any experience, from being lost in the crowd to soaking up a reflective moment by the ocean.”
The range of designs in Michael Kors’ latest collection fit seamlessly into the different chapters of his summer. The line features contemporary metal-edged pieces, bold acetate options, and a studded chain-link pair that feels like high-fashion jewelry. Elevated details, sleek shapes, and careful construction make this offering a cut above the rest — to instantly make any outfit feel complete.
“I like pieces that move with me, feel light, and still make a statement,” he says. “These Michael Kors silhouettes elevate my go-to looks without overpowering them. They’re sleek, bold, and versatile.” They also fit seamlessly with his warm weather mantra: “effortless but intentional.”
Here, see how Lamell takes timeless style for a summer spin.
Linen-on-linen and monochrome dressing are two of Lamell’s summer style go-tos, and this look has both. It’s a combination, he says, for when “the light just hits different.” His Edgewater shades offer “just the right amount of color to reflect summer energy,” Lamell muses. “These sunglasses are energetic — they’re made for the beach.”
A crisp button-up, relaxed trousers, and a pair of Bayshore glasses capture the elegance of summer style in the city. “This sleek and powerful pair is for days of meetings, movement, and lots of moments of inspiration,” he says. Its minimal, bold, and sharp look pairs well with gold jewelry and leather loafers. The result exudes confidence, with just the right amount of urban edge.
Primed for golden hour, this look blends calm and elegance. Subtle, refined accessories, including a pair of Mar Vista sunglasses, bring harmony to the soft button-up and flowy pants combo for dinner with friends, or solo walks as the sun sets. The sunglasses match his vibe when the day slows down — “warm, reflective, and cinematic.”
Inspired by Michael Kors’ Tordrillo glasses, Lamell embraces modern prep with an athletic-style cardigan, black tank, and raw denim jeans. The gold aviator frames feel right at home alongside chunky jewelry, oversized patchwork details, and the buzz of New York City.
