Shifts In Sunglasses Fashions
Sunglasses have always been the epitome of cool, a slick pair of shades instantly gives you a mysterious alluring air as well shiedling your eyes from harmful UV rays. Like everything else in life, Sunglasses experience different trends and fashions, for example, many youths holidaying in the past three or so years wouldn’t have been seen dead without hiding their peepers behind some variation of the aviator glasses, whether they be an oversized mirrored pair of an ostentatious colourful-framed number, aviators are most certainly in at the moment and will most like remain as the sunglasses of choice for a few years yet.
It is only recently that glasses and sunglasses have filtered into the clubbing scene. We have witness rappers wearing sunglasses indoors in their videos and the idea has been widely ridiculed, but the trend for doing this is beginning to become accepted in clubs, mainly the more upmarket venues. Glasses themselves have also shot up in popularity recently, the rapper Kanye West popularized ‘shutter shades’, plastic glasses with horizontal ‘shutters’ in place of the lenses. These perform absolutely no functuion aside from looking fashionable but have recently been replaced in the ‘cool stakes’ by a more traditional form o spectacle.
It is funny how fashions ebb and flow so randomly and with rapid pace, I say this because a type of glasses that are hugely popular at the moment are the school boy-type large, square shaped black rimed spectacle, the kind you may remember from grange hill, worn by the long suffering victim of bullies. These look like prescription glasses but have no lenses and are being worn by clubbers and fasionistas across the land. These first crept into the accessory box alongside the rising popularity of ‘skool disco’ nights but are now worn with regular outfits. Ironic that they used be such a ridicule form of eye-ware but that’s just the way fashion works!
