The Difference Between Functioning Sunglasses and Cool Ones
Sunglasses are basically intended to protect the eyes from strong light and ultraviolet frequencies and some feature lenses that are polarised or darkened.Many people do find direct sunlight too bright, especially if they are driving, flying or operating machinery. So much for the stark scientific basis behind sunglasses.So how come some sunglasses are just so much cooler than the others? Since the 1940s, sunglasses have been popular as a fashion accessory and associated with celebrities and movie stars mainly as a means to hide or mask their identity.
Sunglasses have always meant something more than simply a means of protecting your eyes. Ray ban sunglasses for example are timelessly stylish and never fail to look on trend or contemporary. This icon for the eyes goes back to 1936 and was made to very exacting technical specifications.Looking cool was never a part of the brief, it just seemed to arrive by accident!The fledgling US army air force realised that they needed sunglasses with large curved lenses to protect the pilot’s eyes from every angle. In the 1940’s, Ray Ban was selected by the US Air Force to develop these sunglasses for pilots. In 1952, the iconic Wayfarer was launched and became the world’s best selling sunglasses from any brand.They were helped by the fact that they were essential props in breakfast at tiffany’s ,Reservoir Dogs, the Blues Brothers and of course Tom Cruise’s Aviators in Top Gun.
Another brand that has gone even further as a fashion accessory is Police sunglasses. Over the past 25 years, many high profile celebrities such as Bruce Willis, George Clooney, David Beckham and Antonio Banderas have been the face of Police.They were handpicked and hired to be ambassadors for the brand, reflecting exactly the elan, look and style these rugged shades wanted to project. Since the launch of the first Police sunglasses collection in 1983, they have followed up with a watch collection, a range of fragrances, jewellery and clothing. Today, Police is one of the most desirable men’s brands in the fashion world and it all kicked off with something designed to stop you going blind!
