If you’re a driver, then you’ve probably already got yourself
a pair of sunglasses; the low winter sun getting right under your visor. With
weather still firmly on the wintry side of things however, sunglasses are
probably the last thought on everyone else’s mind. It is technically spring
though, and sunshine will be here before you know it, so now could be a great
time to start looking for what’s on trend.
There is a definite focus on vintage style when it comes to
this year’s shades. Perennial classics Ray-Ban have always maintained a retro
image, with their Aviators and Wayfarers harking back to a time when the brand
supplied the United States Army Air Corps, but they remain at the forefront of
fashion. It’s pretty difficult to go wrong with a pair of Ray-Bans, and they’ve
actually got a ‘virtual mirror’ on their site now, which lets you see what
their range would look like on you. Those who wear glasses or contacts will be
pleased to know that there are also prescription
sunglasses available from the legendary brand.
Oakley may conjure images of high-tech sports glasses, but
this season features the Garage Rock collection, which takes cues from the
designs of retro electric guitars. Ambers, golds and matte black are the
signatures of the range, and are a real departure from Oakley’s traditional
style. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if this line proves to be extremely
popular, and makes a return in later collections.
Retro sunglasses are definitely recommended this year, and
with so many other brands offering similar styles, you’re pretty much
guaranteed to find something that suits you. A good pair of shades can really
make your outfit, so it’s worth taking your time in finding a pair that looks
great and can be matched with a wide range of looks.
