It can completely protect your eyes, and at the same time, it can underline your personality, these are sunglasses, which are now considered as a fashion necessity by most people. So, what are the latest trends in sunglasses? How can you easily combine sunglasses with prescription glasses? What is so vital about sunglasses? Here’s everything you need to know!

Sunglasses these days seem to be a fabulous fashion accessory that adds a beautiful accent to any outfit. However, it is essential to remember that sunglasses are mainly needed to protect your eyes from the effects of sunlight.

In the past, sunglasses were meant to protect our eyesight from sunlight. They were not initially perceived as an elegant fashion accessory but as an ugly medical device of questionable functionality. Later, however, it was proven that specially modified dark glasses could protect the eyes from the sun. By the 1920s, sunglasses were recognized as the original fashion accessory in the world.

Nowadays, the main importance of sunglasses has been somewhat forgotten, and design has taken precedence over functionality. When making a choice, it is good to keep in mind that while good looks are essential, the only reason we buy sunglasses is to protect our eyes.

Trends in Sunglasses

In recent years, sunglasses have become more and more design-oriented, and various brands in the fashion world have developed innovative sunglasses to appeal to customers.

In general, however, the most oversized and most extravagant sunglasses are the most successful. The more giant sunglasses also have the advantage of covering the entire eyeball beautifully, providing perfect protection from the sun’s rays.

However, smaller shapes are just as successful. Besides, the smaller ones can easily fit into a small handbag for women.

When it comes to color, again, there is no shortage of luxury. The current hits are simply big, flashy sunglasses in a wide variety of colors. Round, square, oval, pilot, and so on, these have been the biggest trends in recent years, and their popularity has grown. This success applies to sunglasses for women as well as for men. The so-called cat glasses are also trendy, so women’s sunglasses have a slightly longer eyepiece towards the tip.

We also see more and more of the so-called single-lens reflex sunglasses. These are sunglasses made of mirrored glass of all colors and tints. They are lovely, especially in the summer. The sun’s rays reflect beautifully on the mirror lenses, creating a beautiful symphony of colors.

World Brand Sunglasses

As mentioned earlier, the world’s fashion brands are constantly competing to develop the fanciest and most luxurious sunglasses. Ray-Ban, Prada, Guess, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Carrera, Vogue Eyewear, Polaroid, Marc O’ Polo, etc., have been the most popular brands in the field of sunglasses for several years now.

Combining Sunglasses With Prescription Glasses

When it comes to sunglasses, many people want to find ways to combine sunglasses with prescription glasses. There are several solutions, and there is always one that will work for you. Here are some of the options:

The first option is the one that most people already hope for. That is the option of replacing your prescription glasses with contact lenses, and then it’ll be up to you to decide which sunglasses to buy. At that point, there is no limit to your choice of glasses, and you can get as many sunglasses as you want.

Another option is the photochromic lenses, that is, glasses with self-tinting lenses.  You should consider this solution carefully and have a specialist advise you all about it since this variant is not suitable for everyone. Under normal circumstances without sunlight, the glasses are in a clear state. When exposed to sunlight, the lenses turn darker automatically after a while and then become normal again once you’re indoors.
