PIC: The Healy-Rae-Bans are the accessory everyone will be wearing this spring

Conor Heneghan

The perfect complement to the flat-cap.

Nobody made as much of an impact on the weekend of the general election as the Healy-Raes and with both Danny and Michael securing a seat in the Dáil, we’re going to be seeing a lot of them in the future.

The Healy-Rae brothers (and seemingly, half of Kerry) celebrated their victory in style last night, but there’s another way that people can pay homage to one of Ireland’s most famous political families, with an accessory that everyone will be wearing this summer.

Designed by Shane O’Connor, they look great with a flat cap and are perfect for the man who eats his dinner in the middle of the day.

Shane better get a patent on these before Ray-Ban come calling.
