Summertime Celebrity Eyewear - May 5th, 2014

Now that spring is officially here, and summer is just around the corner, many of us are going to be looking for some new sunglasses to add to our collection. In recent years sunglasses have become a vital part of every wardrobe. They have the ability to elevate a simple outfit into something glamorous and sophisticated. A white t-shirt and jeans, when paired with a pair of aviators, suddenly takes on a rebel without a cause look. The same outfit can be paired with cateye frames for a more sophisticated and chic look.

Celebrities, naturally, are always on the forefront of trends when it comes to sunglasses, since shades are often used as protection from those pesky paparazzi. Let’s see what the stylish celebrities are breaking out this year, and how you can incorporate similar styles into your wardrobe.

 
Aviators:

It seems the permanently stylish Victoria Beckham hasn’t been photographed without her pair of trusty aviator frames for months now. Their curved, yet oversized, shape is flattering to an angular face like hers, and provides the ultimate shield from the glaring flashbulbs that seem to follow her everywhere.

The aviator frame was first developed for, well, aviators and pilots. However, it’s now become so popular you can pick up a pair almost anywhere, including this stylish pair from DG available at SuperFly Sunglasses.

 
Colored Frames:
Never one to shy away from attention or controversy, Rihanna has been seen rocking neon and candy colored frames everywhere from London to L.A. As the girl of the moment, what she wears is instantly copied and reproduced by her army of loyal fans and retailers who know her impact.  A search of Rihanna’s Instagram account using ViralHeat, a social media tracking tool, shows dozens of pictures of her rocking a rainbow of different sunglasses, like this pair, which she posted a few weeks ago.

The bright frame trend isn’t for a wallflower, that’s for sure. Shades like these are going to attract attention and can make, or break, an outfit. This acid green pair is perfect for those bold ladies who aren’t afraid to turn a few heads. Plus, the color will look great with your new summer tan!

   
Cateye:




Nicole Richie and sunglasses seem to go hand in hand. She helped bring back the oversized Jackie O style a few years ago, but she’s championing a new style now. While, the cateye frame is still a retro look, her updated version is a bit more exaggerated and bold. The resulting look is part Audrey Hepburn, part Grace Jones, and 100% stylish.

This style is a bit harder to track down since it’s so new. Luckily for you, SuperFly Sunglasses has this fantastic beige option which will go perfectly with all of your white summer outfits.


Retro:




As the stylist to actresses like Jennifer Lawrence, Sofia Vergara, Jennifer Garner, and Cameron Diaz, it’s Rachel Zoe’s job to be on the forefront of what’s hot right now. But that doesn’t mean she is a slave to trends; she knows that classics will always be in style, like these oversized frames she’s frequently seen wearing.

The vintage, oversized look is perfect for those of us with more angular, sharp features because the rounded lens helps to soften the facial angles. They also provide fantastic camouflage for when you have to run to the store but don’t have time to put on any makeup (or remove the eyeliner that’s left over from last night). They also add a bit of luxury to your look, couldn’t you just see Elizabeth Taylor wearing high-definition lenses from X-Loop while lounging by the pool?
