Styles for the Young and Old

Filed Under Celebrity Watch, Designer Sunglasses, Fun with Eyewear 



Teenagers are constantly starting new fads in an effort to stand out, define themselves of just vent creativity. The two biggest fashions right now with sunglasses are the Ray Ban Aviators, back in high style, and oversized sunglasses like Fendi that are intensely popular among the young. Recently, fashion, a constantly morphing, intangible sense of style, has leaned towards the larger-than-life styles of yesteryear. Bringing back the gradated tinting of the 60s and mixing that style with larger frames and rounder, thicker temple bars.


If you look at slightly older celebrities, you still see some of the youth style, but that sense of clinging to fads fades with age, and elder celebs and civilians alike tend to retire to more practical frames. There is less spontaneity and more class. The colors are less drastic and they create a more sophisticated look. When you see even older stars, the large frames go away and sunglasses that are more conservative are favored among both male and female celebrities. The youthful large frames lose their appeal and are replaced by more mature sunglasses that serve more practical purposes (bifocals, light-sensitive transition lenses or peripheral glare blockers) rather than simply a cosmetic addition.


Large and ostentatious sunglasses are outgrown at some point and no longer look acceptable considering age. Just as kids who wear designer frames like Police look out of place, so do adults wearing neon colors and huge lenses. The best thing you can do to follow the fashion fluctuations is to play it safe by wearing classic styles that never fade. You can’t go wrong with normal color sunglasses like black or grey instead of bright blue or yellow, and without any of the frilly designs or elaborate earpieces. That kind of style belongs to the celebrities who have the need to show off their personality, and the layman can be content with everlasting style like Ray Bans.
