Deep in the Amazon Desert of Alaska you'll find a special variety of cactus wearing silly hats and fake sunglasses. They talk among themselves when no one else is around. Hear what they're saying.

With all the styles available today, everyone can afford more than one pair of sunglasses – especially if they are replicas.  So now any fashion conscious person can easily compliment any wardrobe.  This year’s favorites include 70’s retro style thick frames, Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Ray-Ban Aviators, Large gradient lens, tortoise shell frames and the John Lennon inspired small round glasses.

The Aviators were popular in the 40’s – and today are available frameless as well as with frames - and the Wayfarers date back to the early fifties. Although the Aviators have changed little, the Wayfarers have undergone a complete makeover -being offered in bright colors with two-toned frames. The John Lennon glasses in particular are in great demand. Tortoise shell frames are the rage today – as they can compliment any outfit or color. The gradient lens are not only fashionable – but are great for driving.  They offer maximum protection in the top 2/3 of the lens (as they are darker there) and are not as dark on the bottom – enabling you to read your dashboard instruments while driving.

The attraction of replica sunglasses can be attributed to their low cost and good quality. Available at a fraction of the original design, these glasses offer almost all of the features of the originals. Their manufacture is very similar – their quality is very good – and they offer the highest protection against the UV rays.  Replica sunglasses offer a VFM (value for money) that is very tempting.  That is why it is difficult to keep them on the shelf.

So don’t worry – you’ll look great.  Pick up several pairs of replica sunglasses and join the in-crowd.  Your eyes and your pocketbook will thank you for it.

Before selecting sunglasses – you must consider how they will look on your face.  What is your face shape and coloring?  What frame shape and color is best for you?  Determine this by identifying the following:

1. The frame shape should compliment your face shape.
   
2. The frame should enhance your best facial feature.
3. The frame size should be in proportion to the shape of your face.

Sounds difficult? – Not really

There are seven basic shapes.

Once you have identified your shape – you’ll be ready to pick that perfect pair. Without this information – you will not be able to decide on the best glasses for you.

ROUND:

Curved lines – No angles – Length and Width about equal.  If this fits your description, select narrow glasses, such as rectangular – to lengthen your face.

OVAL:

If your face fits this description – you have the perfect shape. Glasses that are wide at the broadest part of your face will be complimentary.

BASE DOWN TRIANGLE:

Narrow at the forehead – Wider at the chin.  This face will best be complimented by glasses that are wider in shape.

BASE UP TRIANGLE:

The top half of the face is wider – The bottom half is narrower.  A light colored frame or rimless glasses will best compliment this face – taking attention away from the top half.

SQUARE:

A strong jaw and a broad forehead characterize thi shape.  Frames that are thicker or have more width will be complimentary.

DIAMOND:

A narrow jaw line with wider cheek bones describes this face.  Sunglasses that are rimless or cat eye would be attractive on this face.

OBLONG:

If your face is longer than wide and has a straight cheek line, then this best describes you.  Frames with depth to add dimension will be a plus for your face.

SKIN COLOR:

The color of your skin should also be considered.  Skin tones are either COOL or WARM.  Blue or Pink undertones indicate a COOL complexion whereas Yellow and Gold undertones signify a WARM one.  A person with COOL coloring should select frames of Blue, Black, Brown, Plum or Magenta.  Persons of  WARM coloring should consider Peach, Gold, Copper, Orange, Tan or Off White frames.

Personal satisfaction and self esteem is important. You will be wearing your sunglasses every day.  You certainly want to pleased each time you look in the mirror.

If you follow this guideline, there isn’t any reason you will not be pleased.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses can add a sense of mystery and excitement to any look.  But they are more than a fashion statement – they are also the means with which to protect your eyes from the sun.

The amount of darkness or the color pf the lens do not determine the benefits of protection from the sun’s UV rays.  To be protective, the glasses should block at least 99% of the harmful UV rays.  The labeling on the glasses should provide the necessary information.

Types of Lenses

The lens – which may be made from glass or plastic may be treated for special effects. These effects, although attractive, have little to do with screening out the UV rays.

A MIRRORED LENS may reflect the visible light to reach the eyes while providing a high degree of privacy.

GRADIENT LENS Is darker at the top while fading to almost clear at the bottom. This feature provides semi-privacy while allowing better visibility when looking down.

POLARIZATION cuts the glare from highly reflective surfaces such as snow or water.

TINTED LENS provide shade but do not affect your color perception.

PHOTOCHROMIC LENS are light sensitive and darken or lighten according to the degree of light hitting upon the lens.

SUNGLASS  STYLE TRENDS

Style trends in fashion can be seen from Runway Models to Celebrities to Retro fashions.  “Aviator”, Wayfarers” and “Jackie-O” styles are making a comeback along with futuristic shapes like Wraps and Shields.

• Wraps extend to the temple and literally “wrap” around the eyes providing complete protection from the sun and total privacy.
• Shields have a modern look and may be half rimmed or rimless offering a wide range of tints.
• Aviators and Wayfarers are retro styles that appear to be forever in fashion and popularity.

Tints are available in limitless shades so it should be no problem to compliment your wardrobe and flatter your face.

Choosing the Right Shape for You

Sunglasses should compliment your face by choosing a shape which is the opposite of the shape of your face.

Oval faces can can be complimented by most any style, whereas, round faces would look best in anything but round sunglasses.

Wraps, shields and other geometric shapes would best compliment a round face.

Thin faces are better complimented by rounder frames, as are angular faces.

Replica Designer Sunglasses can provide you with the style that best compliments your face at a fraction of the cost.
