When it comes to fashion, designer sunglasses are “hot!” Paris Hilton or the Olsen twins can be seen, nearly anywhere in Hollywood, night or day, wearing the newest in designer sunglasses. When they walk the red carpet and they’re asked, “What are you wearing?” they’d lower their shades down on their noses and peer over the edges and drop designer names like Vera Wang, Dior, Valentino, Gucci, Ralph Lauren and Armani.

Your fave clothing designer could also be the designer of the sun shades that you choose to accessorize your brand-name clothing. As an example, the smart Tommy dresser can add to the outward appearance of a Tommy Hilfiger clothing ensemble with Tommy Hilfiger sun shades. For casual wear, Kate Spade shades might do nicely . Carrera is legendary for a sporty look. For a sensuous mood, Valentino frames that have smooth round edges and Swarovsky crystals may just put you ( or whoever is taking a look at you ) in the mood.  Read more...

Aviator or pilot sunglasses remain popular to this day. They have been worn by generals, celebrities, and law enforcement officers. But in the 1930s, these sunglasses were worn only by pilots.

When looking to design flying goggles, the U.S. Army Air Corps asked for the help of several optical experts. They were hoping to protect pilots’ eyes from high altitude bright lights. This produced reflective, darker lenses that were housed in a frame that was slightly drooped.

Aviator sunglasses were so named because of their oblique teardrop shape that was similar to the smoked-lens flying goggles that Ray-Ban earlier sold to the Army and Navy. The latter, however, often gave users an uneven tan that was darker on the face and lighter around the eyes. While the goggles were effective, their use was limited to pilots.

Better designs appeared in 1936. The lenses became bigger and covered the eyes more. Improvements in polarized lens technology also proved to be a good way of cutting down glare. The new sunglasses were given free to American fighter pilots and soon became very popular. General Douglas MacArthur wore them when he returned to the Philippines during World War II and they became a staple of top military figures. By 1938, Aviator sunglasses were made available to the general public.  Read more...

Summer has always been one of the best seasons to look forward to. Travelogues come up with brilliant euphonies such as “Best Summer Ever” or “Super Summer” to promote this season. But beware of all the excitement that comes with it; for, like a medicine, its preparation should be carefully noted-or else, the best season can turn out to be the worst one.

What do people usually do during summer? What else but go travelling and enjoy the summer sun by the beach. However, “summer people” are inclined to forget, because of giddiness, their checklist to their venture. So before you jump into the water and get your skin tanned, check out our summer list.

Slip flip-flops on for a convenient traipse and trek. Buy a malong that is not only perfect for the summer season but also a very helpful article of clothing. Grab your best hot swim-suit for your ultimate outfit (you would not want to be the “lost-one” if you are going to wear off-season garments right?). Bring sun block to help your melanin in protecting you from the Sun’s harmful rays. Wear wide-rimmed hats to cool your head. And finally, put those sunglasses on, a certified summer ornament that will complete your get up. If you will have all these absolute must-haves, then you will surely enjoy all your upcoming summer adventure!  Read more...

In the 21st century, we know for a fact that competition is tough. In any product that you sell, expect a steep competition; and when I say any product, Sunglasses are included. For Sunglasses, any seller should put into mind that Sunglass’ display is everything. What I am talking about is how a Sunglass Seller should display his/her products in front of his/her shop. Any Seller should bear in mind that sunglass as products do have a stable [and high] demand all-year round so he/she does not need to worry about its salability; however, how to get someone buy your sunglass should be one of your concerns. This just means that you should think creatively about how customers would buy it.

Any businessman, or for this matter, a Sunglass Seller, should always do is research in order to be learned about the product that he/she sells. For the sellers, they should note that Sunglasses put in a creative and noticeable lay-out or rack will definitely affect their sales. The formula for high Sunglass Sales is Good Sunglass plus attractive rack plus curiosity-inducing lay-out equals high profit from sales! This just means that a rack and a lay-out must be well thought of.  Read more...

Eugenics, according to Webster’s Dictionary, is the study of improvements to the human race by selective breeding. Eugenicists usually perform their experiments in a laboratory. They find the best genes, “breed them”, and put them together to make our living on earth less hassle. But because of the most meddlesome externality called the Sun, Eugenicists did not have a choice but to depend on other advocates of a hassle-free world- the Market.

The Market should not always be deplored for advertising and selling so many things. Besides, some (if not most) of the things it sell became helpful to the human race. One of their best products (not to mention the rival of the Eugenicists in terms of improving the eye) is the Sunglasses! How did this product solve the problem of the Eugenicists? The following is its story.  Read more...

I remember how my brother fondly calls people wearing sunglasses Lady Bugs. Just like any other typical male species, it is a conundrum for him why some people wear sunglass even if it is not so sunny. Well, his faux pas accusation on people wearing sunglasses in the stifling darkness of the night is logically understandable. However, before harshly judging the Lady Bugs of having Sunglass fetish, let us first hear their side.

Societies have been under a sweet torment for a long time. This sweet torment has been the reason why women wear high-heels and men “grow” muscles; this is also known to us as Fashion. And as what Fashion always does for ages, it forcefully but silently makes us do or wear something for the sake of beauty (even if it is not always “logical”). To brainwash us more effectively, Fashion uses Icons to advertise the agents of beauty (though we know that Fashion Icons are usually inimitable).One of its famous promotion is the sunglass. It is a type of spectacle that not only works to make our vision under the Sun easier but also to make our personality better.  Read more...

It is just amazing how people have different blessings in life; as either a genius or someone having pure talent or even both. Because of these, we humans are thought to be the highest form of animal in biology; the most logical in political science; and the most critical in philosophy. It makes us superior from all other beings which we cohabit with in this world.

An example of the showcase of our world dominance is being a subduer of nature. We dictated the future of imbedded minerals on earth, the future of plants, and of course, animals. We have been very carefree with all our actions that never in all our wildest imaginations would we think that nature will have a comeback on us someday. Sadly, the Nature’s comebacks are not always warm but scorching. A lot of people tag Nature’s comeback as Global Warming; a clear picture of our home’s dynamism. Why does a sudden change happen? Maybe it is also the nature’s way of adjusting/responding (to our actions) to be able to live with us. But this time, the earth is in control; and we humans are the ones who need to follow.  Read more...

Most of us desire to be different. We carry different fashion statements to convey the personality we want others to see on us. Thanks to sunglasses, our fancy of being uniquely different can now be achieved. There are so many styles of sunglasses to choose from at present. The problem is most of the elegant ones also carry “elegant prices”. But do not fret; luckily, there are now replica sunglasses that can help us solve our fashion problem.

Armani Sunglasses, Ray ban and some others are the stylish sunglasses currently available in the market but in a spiking tag price. For the sake of fashion and personality, everyone wants to buy them, but of course, in an affordable price. Luckily, our sunglass fairy, known as “copy-cats” produced replicas that no fashion maven can distinguish [from the originals]. The Sunglasses from Chanel are one of the most famous sunglasses brands because of its style and design. Interestingly, Chanel Replica Sunglasses can now be bought from less famous boutiques in the U.S., Hongkong, or even in the Philippines, for a much cheaper price.  Read more...

When did men start wearing a pair of sunglasses? How did it morph to its current appearance? These questions will be answered in the following chronicle of the Sunglasses.

Sunglasses’ ancestor was believed to be first worn by Roman Emperor Nero while watching a gladiator fight. Unfortunately, it has been deemed that he did not see the fight clearly for the Sunglasses’ ancestor were not yet as convenient for watching as it is now. It was, firstly, a polished light emerald green gem put up to Nero’s eyes. Sunglasses’ birth was, on the other hand, believed to be around circa 1268 and 1289. The historical evidence of its birth was in a painting by Tommaso da Modena where a subject is wearing a pair of sunglasses.

At first, it is surprising to take note that a pair of Sunglasses was not used to protect someone’s eyes from the sun but to prohibit people from hinting on someone’s reaction. This use of the sunglass was from the Judges in the Courts of China. Later on, corrective lenses were invented and helped clear visual problems, one of the sunglass’ currently known functions.  Read more...
