Fashion sunglasses have been a crucial element of style for centuries, and also serve the practical purpose of protecting eyes from painful and damaging light. In the Victorian times, glasses with small, smoked circular lenses were worn in wire frames, often referred to as granny glasses. As time and manufacturing processes continued, the smoked lenses were replaced with dark colored glass and placed in horn, bone, wood and plastic frames, with the size getting larger and larger. Aviator�s glasses are an example of this. Used by airplane pilots, the oversize frames and lenses protect the eyes from all angles of the sun. However, fashion sunglasses are not always meant to be completely practical. In the 1960�s, granny glasses came back into style, this time with the addition of brightly colored glass, in shades of pinks, purples or any other hue from the rainbow. The lighter colored versions actually enhanced the strength of the light hitting the eye, greater pain when used in bright sunlight. As a result, these fashion sunglasses were worn indoors or at night.
As a style statement, fashion sunglasses are found in all manner of shapes and sizes. Pop culture icons are a popular muse to most people, who will purchase items to honor a favorite actor or musician. Jackie Kennedy, wife to American President John F Kennedy, created a sensation when she appeared in oversized round frames in the late 1960�s. Called Jackie glasses, these iconic fashion sunglasses appear regularly in trends. When the movie �Top Gun� came out in the 1980�s, aviator glasses made a comeback from their heyday in the 1950�s, as everyone wanted to emulate the fighter pilot style. In the late 1990�s, two futuristic science fiction movies, Men in Black and The Matrix, changed the shape of fashion sunglasses to an almost alien appearance, with small oval lenses frames that were contoured to the face. As with any trend, sunglass styles have come back around to larger styles recently, including tributes to styles popular in the 1980�s.
Fashion sunglasses� practical purpose is to protect the wearer�s eyes from harmful radiation that can cause damage to the cornea. When shopping for a new pair, consumers should take care to see that the lenses completely cover the eye. If any part of the eye is exposed, then there is minimal protection for the entire eye. In addition, most glasses have special coatings to absorb UV radiation before it enters the eye and will have stickers or tags that explain which UV spectrum they are created for. Once shoppers have ensured the practical features of sunglasses are taken care of, they can then look for style. Sunglasses should accentuate the features of the wearer. Large glasses on a small face may overwhelm the person and make them look cartoonish, and the same can be said for tiny glasses on a large face. Color should also be a serious consideration, as the glasses are worn directly on the face, and will be the first thing seen.
