There is something that immediately transforms your look when you don a pair of sunglasses. Whether you want to come across as hip, mysterious, intellectual, sleek, or creative, it's easy to do with the right frame. You don't have to spend a fortune to own your favorite designer brand nor do you have to worry about fitting into your favorite sunglasses because you got a little crazy over the holidays.
Sunglasses are one of the most versatile accessories that have defined generations and brought luxury style to the masses. With over two billion dollars in sunglasses sold last year and thousands of styles to choose from in the stores, the task of finding the perfect pair can be daunting. When selecting sunglasses, you want to take into consideration your face shape, hair color, eyebrows, and nose as well as your individual style. Choose frames that complement your own personal coloring and that balance your face shape. Working with a trained optician or eyewear stylist will help you make the right choice.
For My Ladies -
After Tom Ford left Gucci, he launched his namesake eyewear brand one year later. Introduced in 2006, the entire line left the masses drooling with their modern yet retro feel. Big sunglass frames convey a jet-set attitude and the Tom Ford Whitney has adorned many jet-setters such as Gwen Stefani, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, and Jennifer Lopez. The Whitney style was named after his dear friend and loyal assistant. It's wonderfully oversized yet does not overpower the face, making it perfect for most face shapes. The Whitney is unique with contoured lenses, a crisscross detail at the bridge and rose gold metal detail at the temple. It comes in ten different colors but the champagne frame with the light brown gradient lens is extremely elegant. Other great styles by Tom Ford are the Jennifer, Anouk (great for Triangle + Square faces), and the Marissa. Angelina Jolie has been seen wearing these "Hot Summer Shades." The normal retail price for these shades is $360.00 USD.
For The Fellas -
Tom Ford makes every item of menswear look beyond cool. This pair of sunglasses is no different. These plastic shades look very similar to the Ray Ban Wayfarer but are updated and even cooler. The black plastic frame is chunky and is slightly more rounded than the Ray Ban version. The lenses are polarized and smoked for ultimate paparazzi hiding power. You'll need it, as you'll most certainly look famous in these bad boys. Ashton Kutcher has been seen wearing these "Hot Summer Sades." The normal retail price for these shades is $380.00 USD.
