Sunglasses are a form of protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight and high visible light from damaging the eyes.
Sunglasses are variously called shades, sunnies, spectacles, glasses and have been a popular fashion accessory for many years.
Although sunglasses are mostly used to shade the eyes from sunlight or very bright lights, many fashion gurus wear them not for the aforementioned reason but to complete or compliment their outfits. To make a fashion statement, most wearers go for the high-end designer brands to pair up their fashion accessories. Sunglasses are often selected based on the types, outfits and to what occasion.
However, they are also worn to hide one’s eyes. Some wearers opt for sunglasses even at night to avoid eye contacts or to hide emotions.
There are various types of sunglasses, ranging from sizes and shapes to fit different faces and eye shapes. Zeefashion brings to you a few.
