Sunglasses – what’s new for 2010?

Designers already have their sunglasses in the stores for this year, so what should you be looking for?

Thinking of updating your sunglasses collection in 2010? It’s easily done, especially, if you shop online, where the choice is great and the prices are competitive. Whether you’re a dedicated follower of fashion, or just someone who’s been wearing the same sunglasses for three or four years and is ready for a change, you’re bound to find something in the designer sunglasses sector that suits your look and your wallet.

2010 sunglasses trends

There are a few trends to look out for in 2010 – some of them carried over from 2009 and some of them new. The sunglasses market isn’t one where big changes are made very often, but paying attention to small details can help you to show off your style credentials:

• Colour – colour is likely to be a big feature for sunglasses in 2010. Not necessarily bold or brash, colour is used both on the frames and the lenses in order to soften the often harsh look that total black brings. Purple is one of the colours for 2010 as far as sunglasses are concerned, with some designers using it subtly in arms or lenses, whilst others make it a key feature.

• Lenses – whilst sunglasses don’t carry prescription lenses, they are still a big part of the overall style, so it’s no surprising that designers pay attention to the way they look. Graduated lens colour is one of 2010’s trends, both in coloured and black lenses. These lenses are usually graduated with the darkest area at the top, lightening further down the lens and the extent of graduation varies from designer to designer.

• Retro – there’s still an element of retro in 2010’s sunglasses. Ray Ban’s Wayfarer and Aviator sunglasses show no sign of dropping off the popularity ladder because classic styles like these are always stylish to wear. Ray Ban has adopted the colour theme, however, and you can buy Wayfarers in a number of new colours in 2010.

• Oversized – this trend may seem like it’s been around for a while, but there are still plenty of celebrities wearing oversized sunglasses, and plenty of designers refining their styles to give 2010’s big sunglasses a new look. If you have the confidence to wear oversized sunglasses, perhaps 2010 is the year to give it a go.

Buying sunglasses in 2010

Of course, just like fashionable clothes, there are some sunglasses we like and some we don’t – and that’s why it’s good to buy from a designer sunglasses retailer that offers a wide choice. You don’t have to follow all the trends – just choose a pair of sunglasses that suits you and that you can afford. Rest assured that the designers we stock at Sunglasses Direct know their stuff and if you buy from us, you’re buying design quality and style for 2010.

Sunglasses- designer sunglasses retain appeal

Although you may be cutting back on your spending, there’s something about designer sunglasses that makes them worth the money. Are you looking for bargains? Finding ways to get the look you want without spending quite as much money as you used to?

Designer sunglasses remain one of the best accessories you can buy, and if you buy online, you can often benefit from great prices. Choosing designer sunglasses What are you looking for when you’re choosing sunglasses? Particular styles suit different face shapes and the type of sunglasses you choose will depend on what you want to use them for.

Designer sunglasses are always popular because they give you instant style, but you also need to think about:

• Labels – do you have a favourite designer? Chances are, you’ll be able to buy a pair of sunglasses with their name on them. Top design houses now include sunglasses as a main part of their accessories collections, so if you are a particular fan or Prada or Versace, for example, you’ll be able to buy the sunglasses to match your outfit.

• Price – designer sunglasses are obviously more expensive than off-the-shelf high street brands, but that doesn’t mean they have to be out of your reach. In fact, the sunglasses you want could be available at a very reasonable price if you know where to shop. Online sunglasses specialists are always good places to browse because they have the range of designer stock as well as competitive prices.

• Choice – if you visit a sunglasses shop, you’re limited to the choice of the display. Rents are high and sunglasses shops are often small, so you may not have access to the range of sunglasses you’re interested in. Online stores, on the other hand, have no floor space restrictions, so you can see exactly what the retailer has in stock and order it immediately.

As soon as you put on a pair of sunglasses with a designer label, you feel more stylish and more confident. Well-designed sunglasses, just like well-designed clothes, can have a really transforming affect on your appearance. In today’s world, sunglasses are no longer saved for the odd summer’s day; they’re on whenever the sun comes out, so you really are getting your money’s worth.

Keep them in your car for the winter, or buy more than one pair so that you have a choice of looks – aviator to 1950s movie star – and make sure that you have a case and look after them properly so that they will last for years. Although new styles of sunglasses are appearing all the time, good designer sunglasses never go out of fashion, which is why it’s worth investing in some now.

Browse our site and order online for a great range and excellent service. You can also order by phone – just call 0115 9582 888.
