A male's guide to fit and find the perfect pair of sunglasses.

Shades were introduced to America in 1929 by San foster, since than eyewear has evolved into a fashion accessory.  Sunglasses have style of their own it's in the DNA, In the 1930's people began sport shades simple for style. In the 50's sunglasses became apart of a beach fashion scene now shades are a everyday accessory both for men and women.

The core of eyeglass styles are the eyeglasses frames. Classic styles like 
Aviator Shades- Designed by RayBan in 1936 for U.S. Military. Their designed to have oversized,teardrop lenses, an a metal frame that are sturdy which gives a masculine appearance.
Wayfarers - RayBan Designed, persistent fashion icon, most popular in the 80's classic since the 50's and makeing a major come back as today.
  Wraparound Shades- designed with a black wrap,adds subtle sophistication,sleek-as-can-be-frames.
 Armani Exchange Classic Shades - simple and modest.
 Rimless Shades - Fashionable since the early 20th century made with no frame around the lenses.
  Semi-Rimless Shades - design to cover half the lenses.
 Horn-Rimmed Shades - reference to the fact that the rim is traditionally made from horn or Shell, with no nose pads make a statement profile.
  Brow Bar Shades - design after the Aviator but with a double bridge above the nose bridge.


Modern Fashionable styles of shades are all rooted from a classic frame style. Here are a SwaggCreator picked the;
  Columbia Bridge is a Athletic take on the aforementioned Wayfarers with gold accent in the arms.  Ermenegildo Zegna designs are a Italian take of the Aviator shades but designed from metal arms and a plastic rim.
Tom Ford- has designed warm color molds too solid taupe lenses and or with gold accents on his frames.One of my favs to see a guy in are the Gucci Bamboo shades their style are Aviators with a Bamboo brow bridge and gradient lenses looks really boss, one for the more daring fellas from Designer Raen Squire has a Retro version of the classic cat frames but for guys, Oakley New Design Frogskin shades are street designed and trusted technology. Last but all time favorite by many the newly designed Ray Ban Round shades these shades are designed with yes of course round lenses but with crystal green lenses in gold or sliver metal. My fav are Cazals design shades try come n many styles and know for their unique accents line gold or color and trim,strips, aswell as crystal.

Shades can be made from variety of materials like Monel;composite of nickel,copper,and iron or other metals,frames made from these materials are durable and easy to adjust but very pricey think of them as an investment piece if your looking for something light & durable but less expensive opt for Titanium,Stainless Steel,and Aliminum materials which are stylish N sleek.
Plastic only if it's  very durable and chunky otherwise don't waste your money. Nylon modes are high performance material primarily for sports shades.
Now an investment well worth every Penny ultra lightweight titanium derived alloy,won't break can last forever is Flexon just don't lose them. Picking the right material are apart of finding the perfect pair of shades along with knowing Ur face : if you have a round or oval face go for square or rectanglular shades, square face wear rounded or oval shaped shades. Nose: if you have a wide nose opt for rimless shades and never plastic materials, long nose opt for a straight,horizontal design and plastic with a low bridge,small lil button nose go for metal frames shades with high bridges. Most important factor of all when finding the perfect pair of shades are your Eyes: stay u have Close-Set eyes you could wear smaller shades which will make your eyes look centered in lenses,opposite say u have Wide-Set Eyes select a pair if lager rimless shades thus will help conceal the space between your eyes.

The Lifespan on your frames are up to you  here are some Maintenance tips that could make them last longer by use in both hands to remove your frames instead of one you'll prevent the shades from stressing the nose bridge,gettin loose,and later sliding off. Another is never clean it lenses with paper towel and it is ok to use lens cleaner when really dirty or smuged also purchasing a  eyeglass kit for tighten one could visit a local eyewear store for fittings and this is how u find n maintain your perfect shades.
