subject: Top 3 Geometric Designer Sunglasses For 2012 [print this page] You dont have to be any good at math to enjoy geometry when it comes to fashion, that is. Designers have been inspired by polygons for years, but they are becoming more and more popular in the eyewear industry thanks to some stunning shades by brands like Oliver Goldsmith and MYKITA. Put away your compass and enjoy the angles of these top three top geometric designer sunglasses for 2012.
1.Oliver Goldsmith Kendal Sunglasses This shape was designed in 1970, which the brand defines as the aviator with a difference. Created to illustrate that aviators do not need metal frames and round lenses, Kendal features a hexagonal silhouette in a beautiful Matte Black Quartz with gradient lenses. Arm pieces are in a matching black and slope downward at the tip for a comfortable fit over the ears. This structured frame is also offered in Coulis Sandwich, Electric Tortoise, Grey Aqua, and Black Truffle.
2.MYKITA Ethan Sunglasses These MYKITA sunglasses have a more classic aviator shape, but the designer has gotten creative with the silhouette by adding more angles to the lens. Foregoing the usual rounded look, Ethan has a pentagonal frame, leaving room in the middle for a trapezoidal double bridge. Mathletes will love this chic style, which is made of lightweight titanium and features another cool design, the innovative hinge made of interlocking pieces. This allows the arms, which are capped with matching plastic, to snap right back on in case they come apart by accidental harsh treatment. Ethan is available in Black, Glossy Gold, and Shiny Silver.
3.Oliver Goldsmith Fuz Sunglasses While most designer sunglasses that claim to be square are often rectangular, Oliver Goldsmith makes no such mistake with Fuz. This frame is totally retro and trendy, featuring a vintage-inspired tortoise pattern on its plastic frame, and Bordeaux-colored lenses so you can see the world through rose-colored glasses. You wont find any curves in the arms either, they are wide and straight like many other designs in the Icons collection.
