Shades are cool. They’ve been the epitome of cool since they were popularized by Hollywood stars back in the 1920s. But like any kind of fashion accessory, some styles are in while others are definitely out. And it would really be the definition of uncool to be wearing sunglasses that don’t fit your look.<\/p>\n
View the Top List of Best Polarized Sunglasses for Men<\/a> on AW2N<\/strong><\/p>\n Ray-Ban<\/a> So, what’s trending now? Below are the top 20 brands this year with some details on the crop of styles that are making its mark\u00a0in the first half of 21st century.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ray-Ban<\/a> is quite possibly the most iconic of all sunglasses<\/strong>. The brand started out as eyewear that should help US Air Force pilots keep the glare of the sun out of their eyes which is where the classic Aviator shape came from – a style that has remained timelessly cool over the years. The Wayfarer style was popularized by Hollywood, particularly screen legends James Dean and Audrey Hepburn in the 50’s and 60’s. It’s another style that is still considered fashionable today. Though Ray-Ban is more popularly known due to those two styles that we mentioned, the brand also offers other designs that blend both style, quality, and durability. Anyone who has a Ray-Ban can expect to enjoy comfortable, stylish frames that can be worn anywhere, anytime.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Based in Lake Forest, California, Oakley is a popular brand of sports gear and lifestyle accessories<\/strong>. Quite probably their most popular product is their line of sunglasses. While being endorsed by most, if not all, of the elite athletes are enough to make their sunglasses a crowd favorite, the main reason why people love to buy Oakley<\/strong> is their ability to integrate performance and style. They not only look cool, they have vital function as well. Some have lenses that repel sweat and water while others have lenses that are almost shatter-proof. With the Oakley brand<\/a>, customers are sure to receive both form and function.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A manufacturer based in the US, this brand is highly inspired by beaches of Maui where it was first launched. While their sunglasses are perfect for surfing the waves, they don’t appeal to the extreme sports crowd like Oakley. Maui Jim offers style that’s a combination of rugged and classic – you can wear them as you play volleyball on the beach or something a bit more extreme. Some of the styles that Maui Jim carries include Frameless (Makaha) and Wayfarer (Stingray)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Persol<\/a> is one of the world’s oldest eyewear companies, having launched itself back in 1917. The sunglasses are made in Italy and feature the effortless cool that have made them a favorite among celebrities such as Steve McQueen, Tom Cruise, Ryan Gosling, and Patrick Dempsey. The brand is so iconic that it has even been featured in several James Bond films (worn by Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig). If you want something classic or vintage, then Persol is the brand for you. You’ll find a lot of sunglasses with the Wayfarer, Aviator, and Club style frames.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prada is another fashion house that produces a line of upscale clothes, leather goods, shoes, eyewear, and perfumes. Their line of sunglasses range from sophisticated designs that are both colorful and eccentric to vintage sunglasses with subtle innovations. The styles they offer include cat eye, butterfly, and oval frames.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gucci<\/a> is another luxury brand that produces fashion items such as handbags, shoes, and eyewear. Their line of sunglasses are influenced by their clothing line with frames that are inspired by the classics such as the aviator, cat eye, and square style. All of their sunglasses have the brand’s icon included in the design.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
