subject: What's New In Eyewear Today [print this page] There are plenty of people who are always looking for the latest eyewear and new fashions in sunglasses to keep up with the stylish trends of today. Some of them have a favorite brand they stick to, and others have a favorite shape of lens they know they look good in. A good pair of sunglasses is important to completing a person's overall look and image, which is why there are also many people who change their sunglasses as often as they change their underwear (or almost). Trends in sunglasses for the most part change every year, although there are a few styles that have been en vogue literally for decades. These include the bug eye oversize styles, the wayfarer styles and the aviator style for both men and women.
So why on Earth are sunglasses so popular for men, women and children? Three reasons: they protect our eyes from damaging UV rays and from dangerous glare, they can add a lot to completing a person's look, and they disguise the eyes so that people can avoid making eye contact with other people! As far as the lenses themselves are concerned with eyewear, there are tinted lenses, transition lenses, mirrored lenses, polarized, photo chromic lenses and who knows what else! Some of these technologies really are pretty new still.
The colors for different frames are highly variant, and for the most part, something that is new in the last couple of years is that anything goes. Even the guys have started wearing- gasp- pink! Something that is not new is the fact that black is still universally popular with anyone and everyone. Neon and super bright frames in colors of aquamarine, mango and yellow are popular this year. There are many different designers that have picked up on the high demand for sometimes outrageous frames, so you can find really high quality sunglasses in these new colors as well as the cheaper ones.
Red and deep red are popular this year for sunglasses frames, as well as are other shades of red. Transition lenses are really popular too- you know, the ones that change from light to dark in the presence of sunlight. Mirror coated lenses, also known as flash lenses are popular, but then again they always have been. Ghost lenses in eyewear is really popular as of late, and these are the lenses that have a silver coating on them, and they can be found in purple, green, pink and blue.
