Introduction

• Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses can certainly be a challenge for both men and women.

• With so many choices available, it can be hard to determine which pair is the correct fit.

• Several different factors go into designing gender-specific sunglasses that are fashionable and trendy.

Main Differences• When men purchase sunglasses, they usually opt for styles that are

more traditional in nature. • Men's sunglasses are usually shades of black, gray, or brown, while

the lenses are normally oval or rectangular. • Men tend to prefer sunglasses that reflect classic shapes and styles,

and modern fashions do not play a large role in their selection. • Women tend to be a little more flamboyant with their choice of

sunglasses. No shape, style, or color is taboo.• Although many women prefer oversized sunglasses, current trends

and seasonal colors play a big part in selecting the perfect pair. • Light pinks and other pastels are perfect for spring and summer,

while darker colors are more commonplace in cooler weather.

Current Trends• Men’s sunglasses often follow the same trends year after year. • This is why men’s sunglasses are timeless, and a good pair never goes out

of style. • For women, this summer’s top fashion choice is larger-than-life frames

that cover a good portion of the face. • These glasses represent both a fashion statement as well as a health

precaution. • UV protective lenses in these glasses add an additional layer of protection

from the sun’s harmful rays, and the increased coverage area means less fine lines and wrinkles in the future.

• Another trend many people are leaning toward is self-darkening lenses. • These lenses eliminate the need for a separate pair of sunglasses for

people who wear prescription glasses for sight correction. • They accurately sense the amount of sunlight in their surroundings and

get lighter or darker accordingly.

Future Trends• In the future, trends for men's sunglasses are likely to stay the same. • While slight variations in shape and color may help modernize the overall

look, men will likely continue to fall back upon traditional style choices. • Women, on the other hand, are very innovative. • Willing to take fashion risks and be the first to wear new styles, women’s

eye wear and sunglasses are forever changing and being redesigned. • It is anticipated that the current styles will remain fashionable during the

next several years, with slight variances in lens shapes and sizes. • As with any fashion, sunglass trends phase in and out.

– For instance, Aviator-style sunglasses were popular from the 1930s until the 1980s.

– After this time frame, they were phased out and replaced by the more ‘modern’ styles that we see today.

– That said, as of today, Aviator-style sunglasses are quickly gaining popularity once again.

Conclusion

• For both men and women, sunglasses are a direct reflection of their personalities and fashion choices.

• No matter if they are going for a conservative look or something much louder, a pair of sunglasses can finish off any look.

• It has been said that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but there is a pair of sunglasses for any age, gender, and personality right here on Earth.
