Sunglasses

John B. Marine | 4/26/2010 11:45:00 PM |
(UPDATED: June 16, 2015)

There are many kinds of sunglasses for males and females ranging from novelty to fashionable. There are various kinds of lenses and different size sunglasses. Sunglasses should be appropriate for however much protection from UV rays and very bright sunlight as you please. They can be good for things ranging from beating the heat to (I admit) looking cool.

You came to this blog entry to read up on sunglasses. Later in this blog entry, I will show you some sunglasses on Amazon you might be interested in if you loved reading my blog entry. I, of course, want you to be able to have your own fashionable and fun sunglasses as temperatures warm up.


LATEST UPDATE(S)/REVISION(S):

JUN 16 2015 - multiple edits and updates





--- Types of Sunglasses ---

Sunglasses vary in style, function, and in levels of protection for your eyes. This section highlights


Basic Sunglasses.

basic sunglasses
^ from: comparestoreprices.co.uk - This is what I'll define as basic. These are just average sunglasses that aren't really super-stylish or whatever.


Fashion Sunglasses.

^ from: comparestoreprices.co.uk - Sunglasses for men.

...and...

fashion sunglasses female
^ from: theage.com.au - Fashion sunglasses.

Fashion sunglasses do more than just protect your eyes. In fact, they add some style to your overall look. The first pair is a pair of men's fashion sunglasses, and the bottom pair is obviously a women's pair of sunglasses.


Aviator Sunglasses.

^ from: kaboodle.com - Aviator sunglasses have been the most popular sunglasses as of late. They exude super-chic style for both males and females.


Jackie-O Sunglasses.

Jackie-O Sunglasses
^ from: chictopia.com - Also affectionately known as bug eye glasses, the Jackie-O sunglasses are named after the glasses made famous by Jacqueline Onassis. Many think that wearing sunglasses that dominate your face look ugly. Some even think that this is just overkill when looking for adequate protection for your eyes. They've become popular since about five years ago, though they've been around for much longer.


Wayfarers.

wayfarer sunglasses
^ from: asos.com - The most common kinds of sunglasses are wayfarers, like the ones above that I've seen on asos.com.


Luxury Sunglasses.

luxury sunglasses
^ from: nordstrom.com - Luxury sunglasses are sunglasses from luxury brands. They are some of the best sunglasses money can buy for those willing to splurge for a hot pair of sunglasses. They can be the best way to beat the heat while also looking your best.


Novelty Sunglasses.

novelty sunglasses
^ from: thisnext.com - Most novelty sunglasses are just that- novelty. They are glasses you can wear casually and for fun. Many of these novelty sunglasses come in very unique designs and even with colored lenses. The likelihood of me covering novelty sunglasses is not very likely.


Sunglass Clips and Trans.

sunglass clips
^ from: 2020mag.com - If you wear regular glasses like I do, and if you don't want to switch from regular glasses to sunglasses, this is a better alternative. I have my own pair of metal sunglass clips that attach cleanly to my glasses.


The most important thing to remember about sunglasses is to find a pair that you can happily and safely wear on bright and sunny days. You want as much protection for your eyes as possible. Find some sunglasses that fit your style and your needs.



--- Sunglass Alternatives: Sunglass Clips and Transition Lenses ---

If you wear regular glasses like I do, you may opt to go with clips for your glasses rather than have to continually switch from reading glasses to sunglasses. This is a convenient solution that still gives you the same amount of protection on sunny days. I have a pair of sunglass clips that I use to clip onto my glasses. The effectiveness of these sunglass clips are about the same as an average pair of sunglasses. Just remember to have your carrying case or glasses sock with you to store your sunglass clips.

Another alternative to sunglasses are transition lenses. You'll need to chat with your eye doctor about switching your lenses from regular lenses to transition lenses. Transition lenses will quickly change in response to the amount of light in a given area. So when it's bright and sunny outside, the lenses change color to help shield your eyes from the bright sunlight without the need to grab your sunglasses.



Thanks for reading my blog entry so far on sunglasses. I've provided a page break because the remainder of this blog entry concerns sunglasses you might be interested in from Amazon. I will use Amazon to find sunglasses you might like based on my findings and searches. If you want a pair of sunglasses for yourself, please read on to see the rest of my blog entry. If you want some real sunglasses, keep reading after the Page Break. If you don't want to read this entire blog entry, then I thank you for reading. I want to offer you my thanks by showing you some novelty sunglasses on Amazon. If you enjoyed my blog entry, here's my way of saying thanks to you:



If you want to see some REAL sunglasses you can buy, I recommend you read on! :) Well?




--- Sunglasses on Amazon ---

NOTE: This section contains links to Amazon products. You are welcome to click on images and links to learn more about each item. You are free to order any items featured in this section or in any widget if you choose. Please see "An Important Amazon Note" in my blog's sidebar to see more information on any Amazon items shown.

The majority of glasses I'll feature in this section are for men, juniors, and women. I want to feel like my blog entry has meant something to you. So what I always try and do is show you some items on Amazon relevant to the blog topic (sunglasses, in this case). I want you to be able to have a pair of sunglasses you will likely enjoy. So please take a look at each item below. If you see something you like, click on it and buy it if you are really happy with it. I would appreciate it if you do purchase these items if you see something you like. Widgets will be supplemented at the end of this blog entry with more sunglasses that may interest you. If any items are no longer available, I will regularly update this blog entry (as well as my other fashion-themed blog entries) with more content.

If I didn't want you to have your own items by shopping online, I wouldn't have gone to the extents that I've gone to chat about sunglasses. PLEASE feel free to purchase anything you like from this blog entry and any of my other blog entries with Amazon products. A thing I'd like to add is that all or most of these sunglasses come with their own free sunglass cases. So if you want a pair of sunglasses for your own, you probably won't have to purchase a carrying case or anything because most (or all) of these glasses have their own cases.

Let me find some sunglasses for males and females. This is just a general bunch of sunglasses. Some items here may also be for both males and females.

Sunglass Clips.

If you wear glasses like I do, you can be able to clip on sunglasses to give your eyes protection on bright days. I'm not going to be able to show you transition lenses. That's something you'll need to have to discuss with your eye doctor. Be sure to know what size what size glasses shape and size you have before considering getting any. Instead of just individual ones, here is a widget for you showing off many clip-on sunglasses. Find a pair that interests you the most:





Luxury Sunglasses.

My final section concerns luxury sunglasses. Feel free to rock some style with these sunglasses. This is where you will see a number of name-brand sunglasses. I'll be sure to cover relatively inexpensive sunglasses, and of course... those you can't (and probably won't afford). All of this is in the interest of getting more support from my readers and viewers. Your pair of luxury-type sunglasses may be in this section. So have a look below!

^ Finally, I present you the most expensive sunglasses from a search I did on Amazon. Chrome Hearts makes these sunglasses. These shades go by the name of "The Beast." Their price is purely beastly. Needless to say, don't break these or drop these down a storm drain. That is... unless you want these $1,000+ USD sunglasses to go away in a moment's notice...


That concludes this section. I have two little item of honorable mention to close out this section:


^ (Honorable Mention) - These are a bunch of shutter shades. Six different shutter shades will be available to you along with one guaranteed white pair of shades if you get this. Whatever colors you get will be at random if you decide to purchase this.


^ (Honorable Mention) Here is a T-shirt with four neon shutter shades on them. So you can wear shutter shades, but also wear them on your shirt. Sizes for this shirt range from Small to XXX-Large. I am assuming they are for both males and females.
