If most style-conscious women in the world have a fetish with shoes, I must admit I also share the same addiction with another fashion item: sunglasses. I think that’s what separates Mars from Venus: women make shoes their best friend before they can have their “most genuine friend” - diamonds, while men are unlikely to display a similar interest in collecting footwear. A man can call himself “a well established man with style” when he has a groundbreaking career that pays well with a flair for collecting posh cars, hi-tech watches and sexy women, but how many in a billion of us can afford that?
Women in general can have shoes to wear for every state of af fairs life may present to them. These days, without a nice matching pair of shoes, the woman’s fashion statement remains incomplete. We, men, need to find a different, easy and stylish kind of treasure item in our style department. I would suggest sharpening our look with a series of sunglasses.
James Bond, Bono and Karl Lagerfeld all need sunglasses to accomplish their mission, to fight the bad guy, to sing, or to scare kids. Unlike a pair of Manolo, glasses are instantly noticeable: they’re out there in front, on your face, ready to be noticed, every day. If you don’t think your eyewear can make a huge difference in other people’s perception of you, take a look at Clark Kent. A simple pair of nerdy eyeglasses so completely changes his appearance that nobody sees Superman just behind the frames.
It’s time to get ourselves ready for the spotlight with a pair of shades that represents our impeccable style and protects our precious eyes from the damaging effects of the sun and the paparazzi flash lights.
However, it’s the subtle things that make all the difference when you’re choosing your cranial accessories. Buying sunglasses can be frustrating: Get the wrong ones for your face shape and you run the risk of looking like a bug, get the wrong style for your profession and you’ll just look like a douche bag.
But you can simply just ask yourself what type of personality you are to choose sunglasses suitable for your character and style today.
Who Are You? If it works for a superhero, it can work for you. The key to creating the image you want is in selecting just the right pair of glasses to match your lifestyle. The first step is to determine the different aspects of your life.
Just like a pair of shoes won’t take you from a cocktail party to the volleyball court or from the beach to the office. Therefore if your life is broken up into two or three parts, you need two or three pairs.
One of the hottest styles in the market now is “the Aviator”. This classic pilot-inspired look is everlasting. Because it now comes in various shapes, colors, lens, and frames, be careful not to be labeled as a fashion victim by choosing the wrong fit.
he best is to settle with jet-black and brown shades to give you coolness, or the ones with reflective lens to give you more of an edge.
If you feel your macho-ism is bigger than life, you can try the slightly oversized square-ish type of glasses. Be the city skater or biker, this fashionable item will give you a sporty look. Do not settle easily with the “safe” classic Ray-Ban wayfarer type, the last style icon who wore this was MC Hammer, while singing “Can’t Touch This”.
The Oakley surfer-type specs with colorful glasses will only suit you if your face is symmetrical, not too dark, not too chubby and not too “deconstructed”. You must also reflect a young, energetic and creative personality to wear this type of glasses, otherwise you’ll be looking like those “wannabe cool” truck drivers along Kuta beach.
Sunglasses are very effective when it comes to enhancing the personality of any human being. They play a major role in uplifting your confidence and they are the true extension of the character of the eyes, the soul.
In a world where fashion dominates our very way of life, it has become an imperative part of our being and culture to emphasize our individuality by way of appearance. Therefore we should definitely consider decorating our eyes as they’re the windows to the very souls that make us unique.
Sunglasses to fit each and every taste and budget that cater to everyone’s needs and demands are available in most stores, from luxurious malls to street stalls.
