Large And In Charge Frames Are Sticking Around
This style of Sunglasses started in the 70’s but has been persistent in holding on to its fashion presence. Made famous by the likes of Farrah Faucet and others, a true Charlie’s Angels classic. I am not sure what it is, but these frames are here to stay. Frames that can handle just about any face shape are a popular choice for many, but if you have an oval shaped head than this style may be your best bet. Some classic brand names include Prada, Kate Spade, DKNY eyeglasses and many more carried by the optical shop at the Vision Institute Colorado. These frames are tough and can handle the daily tasks of the human wearing them and can be outfitted with progressive lenses, prescription lenses, scratch resistance and more.
Really, Really Dark Lenses
| Carrying on with allure and mystery these darker lenses set in usually large frames will be very popular in 2017. Just don’t be the girl or guy wearing them indoors, if not for safety alone. The nice thing about an ultra-dark pair of shades is that they can be very protective against the sun’s ultraviolet rays and allows the wearer to reduce strain on the corneas. Oh and they also make you look super cool. |  |
