The year 2011 is all about color. In the case of sunglasses, bright red and orange are very “in style.” Blue and yellow are also a noisy option for many people, however not many people can carry these vibrant colors and while it may look cool it can be too harsh on the eyes. Therefore, colors such as black, gray, lighter shades of brown and other subtle colors are recommended because they absorb the harmful rays of the sun and relax the eyes, plus they never go out of style.

If you are confused between glass or plastic lenses, you need to know the critical details of each. Plastic lenses are lightweight, do not strain your eyes, and today also come with a thin coating that resists scratches, although not all plastic lenses are scratch resistant. Glass lenses, on the other hand, are more durable and offer 100% protection against UV rays and scratches.

Choosing the type of glass for your lens is not an easy task, as you have to take into account many painstaking aspects. Not only should they look fashionable, but they should also offer complete protection from the sun, the color should go with the outfits you normally wear. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable wearing them.

Today there are so many types of sunglasses that it can easily put one in a quandary. Sunglasses are available in many variations of color, material, purpose, shape, and size. Thick frame glasses are always preferred. Similarly, aviators never go out of style. The current selection trend is for big frames and huge lenses with unique designs. White frames are the latest trend nowadays. The urban classic that is picking up pace this year are Ray-Ban’s “Wayfarers.” When choosing a pair of sunglasses, you need to make sure that it fits the structure of your face. A mismatch in this could lead to a terrible appearance. The flowy glass style, which was a huge hit last year, is still one of the most preferred shades. It is the color that is the most significant aspect of these sunglasses and not the frame. The top of the lens is dark and blends in with a lighter shade towards the bottom. This type of sunglasses, although very attractive, strain the eyes. Another option to stand out from the crowd is to opt for a very rare frame that has various ornaments, as it would be unique; you would definitely turn your head.
