We all know that sunglasses are not only a fashion accessory but also a statement of one's fashion individuality and independence, a mere expression of ones personality. Sunglasses can tell us a lot about a person - whether that person is witty, shy, social, fashionable, chic, sexy, etc.
In this post I want to address the dual importance of wearing sunglasses during this spring/summer season; for your protection and also the importance of staying chic and not be flashy about your designer sunglasses.
Yes, we all know that the best sunglasses are also designed by designers who specialized in shoes, handbags, denim, etc. My personal favorites this season are: Gucci, Tom Ford, Marc by Marc Jacobs and my ultimate favorite, Prada. Why are this designers the most famous or even the best designers for sunglasses? The answer is simple. They have vast experience in the fashion world and their knowledge of what costumers really want, and they also have set a trend with their fashion house. Thus, the sunglasses become another important piece in your outfit.
These designers have also taken the time and given the importance to the protection of the clients eyes and sight; it is not quite the same to buy clear designer sunglasses as to buy dark sunglasses so leave the clear lenses for winter season.
For women its very important to match your sunglasses with your purse. Ladies, please be careful when you try to match your ray-bans to your Marc Jacobs blue leather handbag...it's just a big NO. Gentlemen, it's very important to match your sunglasses with your footwear; wearing large, thick paste Prada sunglasses don't really go with your Gap flip-flops. Sunglasses and footwear give a complete personality to a summer outfit.
Sunglasses can make or break an outfit and completely make your trendiness go away, for the fact that you did not pay attention to the design and shape of your eye wear.
Need some tips on the hottest trends for the season? The best looking designs are Bob Dylan sunglasses (try Gucci), Aviators (definately Ray Ban), and Medium Thick Paste (Tom Ford). You cannot go wrong with those designs...but you can go wrong if you try to follow the fashion savvy of Kanye West. His sunglasses are NOT in.
Stay fashionable!

I think the Kanye glasses WERE in, and then all these cheap stores started making knock-offs. I saw a girl wearing a pair in the subway, and they were dark frames and looked okay on her, but I saw the white ones Kanye was rockin' and they might not look so good on the average person
When you say Kanye, do you mean the shutter shades? Because now he is working with Ksubi, who are extremly popular right now, for jeans and sunglasses.
Yes precisely the design they made for Kanye West, are not working as the couture outfits, if you are more into the urban outfits, then by all means go ahead, but this blog and this comments are targeted for a more chic and couture look.
And yes the shutter shades, where one of the most incriminating fashion mistakes this years, thus you can find them in soho for 10 dlls, in every color you can imagine.
Stick with Gucci or Tom Ford this season.
yes, but isn't urban style sort of the norm in couture right now, too? i think the shutter shades work
i'd wear shutter shades, just not when i was walking. i mean, doesn't that get annoying? i'd probably fall and bust my ass!
I love Gucci and Marc Jacobs shade's myself, actually would like to meet Marc Jacobs someday, HA
