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.
