Designer Frames Reflect Your Style

If your pocket book can’t handle the cost of designer clothes or a Cartier necklace but you need a fix for designer names, check out the sunwear market.

Chanel, Armani, Cartier, Dolce & Gabanna and other top designers all make sunwear with prices much more affordable than their clothes or accessories.

Not sure which designer has the best frames for you? Shop around at places with a large variety of styles and names and a wide selection so you can try sunglasses on from many different lines. Designers create an image with their clothing and accessories, and their sunglasses portray the same image. Optical shops, department stores, and sunglass specialty stores usually have materials in the sunglass section that reflects the designer’s image. Qualified sales staff will also be able to answer questions about the qualities of each designer.

Remember the best pair of sunglasses for you may or may not be from the designer you want. Try on as many frames as possible to find what’s right for you. Typically, if you like the clothing and accessories of a certain designer, you will also like their frames. Most designers have a lot of input into the design, pricing and image of their sunglasses and the end result it a product that reflects the designer and is perfect for the designer’s customer.

Celebrities have also jumped on the sunglass production bandwagon: Lauren Hutton, Kathy Ireland, Sophia Loren, Cheryl Tiegs, Diahann Carroll, Linda Evens, Jerry Garcia and others. Their sunglasses reflect the image they’ve created on the big screen, TV, or music, and some consumers can relate better to a celebrity than a fashion designer.
