Sunshade is more than just eye-protection. A well-selected pair can elevate your look and solidify your signature style. But there are countless styles and shapes out there- so it’s normal to feel overwhelmed when trying to cop a something new. Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of the top trends and classic sunshades’ styles for men so you can make smart choices with your next pair of shades.
Below Are 4 Sunshade Styles For Men
The Clubmaster (“Horn Rimmed”)
These retro frames, also coined by Ray Ban, are inspired by the 50’s browline sunglasses trend, featuring rounded lenses with larger, statement-making upper rims (the “browline”), often made of plastic, and slim wire rims around the bottom. You can’t go wrong with these iconic frames that have stood the test of time. The clubmaster frames are indicative of a nostalgic era, but no matter what the era, they maintain their ability to command attention. Robert Pattinson, Ed Westwick, and Bruno Mars dig the style because a man who wears a pair of clubmasters is a man who knows how to effortlessly balance retro with a kind hipster-cool that cannot be achieved with any other eyewear style.
Clear Frames Sunshade
There’s something so effortlessly cool about clear frame sunshade. Many brands offer most classic sunglasses shapes and styles with clear, or translucent-coloured, frames. The frames will instantly update any look and add a touch of modern minimalist edge to whatever you wear. If you’re new to clear framed specs, we recommend a clear frame wayfarer-style pair for the perfect mic of classic-meets-modern.
Wooden frames Sunshade
Bring your look down to earth with natural wooden frames. Watches, the bars, phone cases, and sunglasses are now being made of different wood varieties and resulting look is undoubtedly stylish, unexpected, sustainable, and unique. From bamboo to walnut to mahogany to maple, find the perfect shade of wood that fits your style. These are by far the most innovative styles and are a great way to bring your look back to the basics.
Notch Bridge Sunshade
This particular sunglasses style, coined by Persol in 1957, grew to be infamous In the late 1960’s when it became the style of choice by Steve McQueen. The iconic shape and look of these shades is characterized by a notch in the bridge of the frames just above the nose as well as by the sunglasses’ ability to fold in half for compact storage 0n-the-go. The overall look is classic, timeless, and reminiscent of the 60’s. The Persol brand was the originator of the notch bridge style, but today, the quintessential notch is popping up in all brands of eyewear and in a variety of frame shapes.
