Types of sunglasses

Now in the world there are a huge number of types of sunglasses. Moreover, almost every designer tries to contribute to the fashion for accessories from the sun, creating frames of the most unusual and unthinkable forms. But still there is a list of the most popular, universal and popular varieties, which can often be found in stores and seen on fashion shows.

"Aviators"

Perhaps, this is the most popular kind of sunglasses. This is due to the fact that this shape with rounded and slightly extended to the bottom lenses is suitable for people with almost any type of appearance . Initially, these glasses were designed for American military pilots, from where they got their name. For the needs of the army were developed large glass with the widest viewing angle, as well as thin, metal frames. Soon such glasses became extremely popular, and after the release of the film "Top Gun" (Top Gun), where the protagonist in the performance of Tom Cruise flaunted in black "aviators", the name of this form of sunglasses became known throughout the world.

"Vufareri"

Another cult type of sunglasses for women and men, appeared in the 50 years of the XX century. It was developed by the American firm Ray-Ban , in its line this model of points is presented till now. It also appeared in the assortment of other fashion brands. "Waferers" have an oval structure, the lower edge is more rounded, the upper one has a pronounced outer corner. Points of this form appear in a rather massive plastic frame. The first boom in sales of such points among women occurred in the 60s, after the release of the film "Breakfast at Tiffany," where the main character Holly Golightly (performed by Audrey Hepburn) appeared in the "vufarerah". Since then, this form does not lose its popularity.

"Tishades"

"Tishades" is not such a well-known name for sunglasses. In the world, this form became popular under the name "Lennon" (in honor of John Lennon), among the representatives of the underground - "Ozzy" (in honor of Ozzy Osbourne), well, in the ranks of book lovers about the young wizard Harry - like Harry Potter glasses. These glasses with round lenses and thin wire frames are now gaining huge popularity, but not all go. For example, on girls with a wide face, round or square, they definitely will not look organically.

Cat's Eye

"Cat's Eye", perhaps the most feminine and sophisticated look of glasses from the sun. Extruded outer corners and rounded down lenses make this model of glasses very playful and attractive. Many girls choose it, because such glasses are an eternal classic. Only the design elements change: colors of glasses and frames, inlays with stones and rhinestones, drawing. It is also worth mentioning here about the types of sunglasses and their names, as there are disputes about whether the cat's eye and butterfly are considered by different names of one frame or they are two different forms of glasses. Some argue that in the eyes of the "cat's eye" the lower edge of the lens is stronger upward than in the "butterfly", but in practice, nowadays, only a few share these two species.

"Dragonfly"

The appearance of the frame of sunglasses "Dragonfly" became popular in the late 60s of the XX century. Glasses of this form were preferred by the recognized style icon, the widow of John Kennedy and the wife of Aristotle Onassis Jacqueline (Jackie) Onassis. Her large round sunglasses in massive horn frame became extremely popular. Each fashionista dreamed of having such an accessory. Then there was a small period of oblivion of such points, but now the "dragonfly" is almost the most popular form of women's sunglasses.

Points for an active way of life

Stand alone are glasses for an active lifestyle, tight-fitting face, rather narrow, often having one lens. These glasses are bent so as to fit as tightly as possible to the face and not to fall when moving actively. These glasses inspire fashion designers and are increasingly appearing on the show as an alternative to classic forms for daily wear.
