Sunglasses - Summer 2011
Nowadays, each of us can choose hairstyle, make-up, clothes and accessories to mold a personality. People should feel comfortable and at the same time, draw attention by their appearance to some extent. The same holds for sunglasses. They are not just a protective device against sun, but primarily, they are a specific accessory reflecting your personality. Their design also subjects to fashion trends.
Eyes and eyeglasses command our attention at a glance, when the first contact with another person. Therefore, sunglasses can be identified as the main creator of the first impression. The size, shape, color, material and brand determine if eyeglasses are “IN”. Fashion trends in optics, like for example in garments, often return in some variations and this is the case of the season 2011. In this season, get ready for the return of bigger rounded shapes of sunglasses, retro shapes and pilot sunglasses. Simply said - the past returns.
Big and rounded sunglasses
As a few years ago, it was very difficult to find oval shapes of sunglasses and everything was angled, this year will be the exact opposite. It will be a big problem to find angled shapes all above.
Retro sunglasses are “IN”
If you still have sunglasses from the 60's or 70's hidden somewhere in a drawer, so it is maybe the time to take them out. You can “save” some euros. Specially these types of eyeglasses will be very popular in the season 2011 and nobody will regard you as old-fashioned any longer. Retro style can be found in almost all the better-known brands such as Chanel, Tom Ford, Giorgio Armani, Bvlgari and others. Not to mention the legendary models Original Wayfarer of Ray-Ban brand.
Pilot sunglasses are eternal
This type of sunglasses certainly knows everyone. With some variations, it is at the market more than 70 years and maybe another 70 years still will be there. If we mention this type, everybody imagines Ray-Ban brand. This brand was at the birth of this type of sunglasses. At present, it is not only Ray-Ban making pilot sunglasses, but almost every manufacturer of sunglasses is inspired by this type. For example, Dolce Gabbana pilot sunglasses are very popular. Double beams, which recently almost disappeared, are also more and more popular.
Even though, this type of eyeglasses does not fit to many people very well, they are not dissuaded from purchasing them. Everyone wants to be simply “IN”.
Colors and eyeglasses
Concerning colors of a eyeglass frame, pastel colors, different patterns (dots, stripes, squares) or pictures will predominate. Classical one-colored black and brown color will be a little aside, although you never do anything wrong by choosing these colors. The grade is dominated in coloration of eyeglass lenses. It means dark color at the upper edge and lighter or clear color at the lower edge. This color is very elegant, it does not affect a color perception in light tones and does not keep from looking into the eyes of a wearer of the eyeglasses in addition. More often, It can be found in women’s models.
And one more advice at the end. Some models create a half-witted look. It is the aim we want to achieve by these esunglasses, so if you feel a bit weird, it is ok. It depends only on you, how much you can tolerate. Such is the present day ...
