Hunting season approaches, and what better way to prepare for the season than to get your gear ready? This season, up your game by trying performance-enhancing sunglasses by Oakely. Before you scoff at the hype, consider this – orange or yellow tinted sunglasses increase contrast and extend the range of peripheral vision by highlighting contrast in your full field of vision. In laymen’s terms, orange tinted sunglasses help you see small variations more clearly. If a deer is walking slowly through the woods you may miss it if you are not looking in that exact direction. With performance-enhancing eyewear contrast is heightened, making even slight differences stand out. You are thus much more likely to see a deer than not with these sunglasses.

Athletes across a broad range of sports use orange tinted sunglasses to help them get their A game. Downhill skiers use tinted goggles so they can more quickly detect tiny changes in the snow or ice, giving them fractions of a second more to react. Mountain bikers and racers use orange tinted eyewear to increase contrast on the road, helping them to avoid anything that could slow down their propulsion or decrease their aerodynamics. If professionals use orange tinting to up their game, shouldn’t you?

Finally, while some think the orange sunglasses are not a flattering look. Consider the supporting role of John Goodman in The Big Labowski. If that isn’t the essence of cool then I don’t know what is. Check out a range of athletic brands that offer orange tinted sunglasses and you’ll find a pair that suits your look and lifestyle while also helping you hit the mark.

Best Designer Eyewear for Elegant Women

ca0408.jpgElegance is coming back into style, and thank God for that because the modern sense of style was beginning to resemble an alien in drag. Yes, elegance is back, and hopefully here to stay. For any elegant woman, this time has been long awaited. Brush off your Versace sunglasses and your oversized hats, elegance is back baby!

The best designers for elegance are the ones who never ventured too far into the modern design age of metal, pleather and, dare I mention it, faux fur. True designers never give into fads and flash design trends, they stay true to a unique vision and whether people like it or not, they stay elegant and classy even in wastelands of style. One great, classical designer is Burberry, whose tireless devotion to British country style has long been applauded by classy people everywhere.

Though Versace dabbled in couture, we’ll forgive the label because its family has undergone such stress recently. Versace remains a stable and reliable choice for classy eyewear with the ever-so-elegant logo. Versace remains a favorite with elegant women because the designs play with modernity while still paying homage to antiquity, a rare and unique blend in the eyewear design industry and one that only Versace has been able to pull off with any success.

Prada, of course, is an elegant choice for classy eyewear, but I’m not sure they deserve the rank of ‘elegance’ due to their overly boxy, overly avant garde designs that played into the fads of the times rather than staying true to an overall design vision.

Best Eyewear for Brunettes

Filed Under Blogroll, Brand Wave, Designer Sunglasses, Uncategorized | View Comments


ca0401.jpgBlondes have all the fun, but luckily, brunettes are taken more seriously. This means they can wear the same Prada outfit as a blonde and not come across as a bimbo just because she is fashionable. Likewise, this also gives brunettes a great opportunity to push the limit on fashion without being a stereotype. Some of the best ways to have fun, explore fashion and still function as a normal part of society are with eyewear, sundresses, and fun with hats.

Hats on brunettes are a great way to bring a playful look to an otherwise bland outfit. Oversized sun hates are especially good for this playful touch. In winter, knit caps are always in style, and you can draw attention to your eyes and lips by coordinating colors with your knit fabrics. A blonde in a knit cap looks like she is trying too hard to be fashionable while a brunette can often pull of the same look and have a natural feel to it.

Fashionable eyewear is another great way to up your wardrobe and have some fun. Oversized, dark eyewear were all the rage in 2009, and that fad looks to continue in 2010 for women. Add a bit of color with a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers, and you’ll have a playful and respectable look that only a brunette could pull off.

Sundresses are hot this spring and summer, especially wrap-around dresses and single shoulder dresses in bright colors. Similarly, frills and layering are edgy and bold, but will come more into fashion later this year.
