Popular Choices And Winter Sunglass Trends
Sunny, cloudy or rainy, as long as the sun is up, there is a need for sunglasses. Not feeling the discomfort of too much sunlight does not mean there are not harmful UV rays in the air. It is recommended that you look for sunglasses that are labelled either 100% UV Protection or UV400. Get yourself one with lenses that will block 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB radiation. Aside from protecting your eyes from UV rays, sunglasses also help you reduce those frown lines you get from squinting because of too much light. And of course, a pair of sunglasses is a definite must have for fashion. Let us take a look at some of the Winter Sunglass Trends.
If you have been checking out fashion magazines or lifestyle TV programs, you will surely agree that the retro classic designs and most of those from last year are still the pieces to wear.
If you bought yourself a pair of over-sized, geometrical or round sunglasses last year, you can definitely still wear those and not worry about being out of style. The look inspired by Jackie O in the 70s and the 80s are very much still in style. Wraps, shields, aviators and plastic frames have also made for this season from last year. Manufacturers have basically just added a few more designs, tones and colors.
Those teardrop shaped sunglasses that Tom Cruise wore in Top Gun are the aviators. Although their rims were metal at that time, aviators now come in plastic frames too.
The one piece shields, which look a bit more futuristic, give its wearers a modern look. Often having a wide selection of tints, you will also find these glasses either partially rimmed or rimless.
Wraps are those that have the lens extend past the eye to the temple. Like the shields, these also come in rimless versions. Famous brands have also added new tones such as gradated brown, grey and silver to their collection.
No matter what your style is, whether classic, chic, retro, sporty or modern, the winter sunglass trends for 2009 offer a variety of design and color. Regardless of your budget, you are sure to find one that suits you best. If you are brand conscious, you may even choose one with the brand name on the arm hinge. Just remember a few basics when choosing your sunglasses. A rounder face will look good in geometrically shaped glasses, wraps or shields. Angular and thin faces look better in round ones. The lucky oval faced can carry most any shape there is.
