Men's sunglasses: what's your style?

Mens sunglasses retailer Sunglasses Online points to current trends in men’s eyewear and how they are influenced by fashion trends, popular music culture, sport, and what celebrities are seen to be wearing.

Designer sunglasses brands

Oakley, the Sportsman’s eyewear

If you are a sportsman, then your first choice should probably be Oakley. Famously, the Flak Jacket and Radar have been worn by Lance Armstrong, seven times Tour de France winner.

Light and flexible frames

Oakley makes use of light alloys and titanium in some of its frames to achieve an excellent combination of lightness, flexibility, and strength, making them ideal for sports use.

For example, Oakley Whisker frames, made from Durable C-5™ alloy and sculptured into Oakley's thinnest wire frame, give Whisker sunglasses a flexible, adaptable fit with minimal cranial pressure.

Lenses for outdoor sports

Oakley have also developed a range of lenses suited to outdoor sports, including the best regarded polarising lens of all designer brands. Their hydrophobic lens coating prevents rain and sweat from building up on the lens. It also repels skin oils and other contaminates, so the lens is smudge resistant and easy to keep clean - ideal for wearing when you are participating in active outdoor pursuits.

Ray-Ban, sunglasses favoured by celebrities

If you are looking for cool, fashionable sunglasses for general leisure use, Ray-Ban is a classic choice, being the number one brand favoured by male celebrities.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer

For example the Wayfarer was worn famously by Tom Cruise in the film Risky Business, and more recently by a string of stars including Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, Jude Law and Johnny Depp.

Ray-Ban Aviator

Another iconic Ray-Ban brand which remains popular with celebrity men is the Aviator, a retro style that was first introduced in the 1930s, and has since been associated with strong male types ranging from Al Pacino to Barack Obama.

Which designer sunglasses are for you?

Really it’s all about which designer sunglasses look best on you. Which shape best complements your face. Which style reflects your image and goes with your favourite shirts and jackets. And don’t ignore the practical aspects. You would choose different eyewear for participating in outdoor sports than for wearing on a social occasion.
