50 Shades Of Sunglasses
10th August 2012 | Posted in Mens
If there's one thing you should most definitely not be without this Summer, it has to be a pair of designer sunglasses. We've picked out a selection of some of our favourite styles of the season, from Armani to Tom Ford, we've got you covered no matter what look you are going for in the sun. We know it's not quite 50 shades of grey... but hey, it might help you look a bit like Christian Grey-and right now, that's definitely no bad thing...
We start with the basics with these square lens full frame shades by Armani. Perfect for any face shape these sunglasses suit the majority of wearers. Finished in a luxury gold effect on the frame and a patent black arm, they are embossed with the famous Armani eagle close to the hinge on either side, resulting in a classy looking shade.
Made famous by wearers such as Will.I.Am and Rihanna, Carrera have taken sunglasses and put their own stamp on traditional styles. Take the C-City shown above. A classic Carrera shaped frame made from reinforced plastic, the C-City is fully collapsible, making them perfect for tucking into you pocket when he sun inevitably hides behind the rain clouds. Hinges on the nose bridge and half way down the arms ensure that they fold to a nice compact size, but are still sturdy as a non-collapsible style when the are being worn.
The French Riviera meets a city slicker in a holiday romance with the 0015 sunglasses by Hugo Boss. Rounded lenses with a hint of a dip towards the bottom suggest a shorter aviator style, whilst the half frame add an extra touch of class to the look. The minimalist frame is sealed by a subtle Boss Orange logo on the arm, whilst the tinted lens oozes slick Mediterranean style. Whether you're on a yacht or browsing the shops, these are the ultimate holiday shades.
Perhaps one of the most iconic sunglasses in history, there's never a time that a pair of Ray Ban aviators could look out of place. Gold framed with black ear pieces, these aviators have a crystal mirror lens and are finished with the infamous Ray Ban signature on the left lens.
A name that has almost become royalty in the world of designer sunglasses, Tom Ford provides the very best mix of sophisticated Italian styling with strong robust design that will stand the test of time. Finished in black and gold for a luxury appearance, these act as the perfect pair between a square and round lens pair of sunglasses. A two piece nose bar adds an extra dimension of style, whilst the etched Tom Ford logo on the right lens provides the right amount of logo detail.
These Tom Ford FT0248 Sunglasses show the brands design focused side. Modeled on a retro style made popular in the early 80's, Tom Ford is bringing the style back in a big way. Shown here in black or tortoise shell, these sunglasses complement a trendy more daring style perfectly. Finished by the famous Tom Ford silver 'T' from the frame to the arm, and with the Tom Ford logo etched onto the right lens, these are the very best in fashion driven sunglasses.
