Fashion labels have cashed in on this lucrative opportunity, with celebrities being endorsed as the face of their brand. Police sunglasses are associated with style icons, George Clooney and David Beckham. These two celebrities reflect the strong, masculine and suave spirit of Police sunglasses. James Denton who plays Mike Delfino in the award-winning TV series, Desperate Housewives was chosen for his ruggedness and passion for the outdoors to be the face of Serengeti sunglasses. Some celebrities have also realized the affect they have on the public with hotel heiress, Paris Hilton launching her own line of sunglasses just over a month ago.
Celebrities are always seen in dark shades trying to escape the constant intrusion of the paparazzi. Even though they are supposedly hiding away from the snapping intruders, these fashion icons can be seen wearing the latest designer sunglasses. Ageless supermodel Kate Moss is often snapped in Ray Ban Wayfarers as she’s leaving the house or stumbling out of a nightclub.
As these famous mortals are constantly in the public eye, it’s important for them to choose the right style to suit their face shape. Picking a style that is opposite from your face shape will complement your look. Jessica Simpson for instance, has a square-shaped face, so looks good in round frames by Christian Dior.
Apart from complementing your face shape, sunglasses should be chosen to match your hair color. Blondes and redheads look good in light-colored frames whilst brunettes look good in black designer sunglasses. Take inspiration from doting mum and Hollywood starlet, Angelina Jolie who always looks stunning in ultra-dark, YSL 6223/S sunglasses that match her brunette waves.
The type of sunglasses a celebrity chooses says a lot about his or her personality. Gwen Stefani likes wearing retro Carrera Safari sunglasses, which matches her non-conformist, trendsetting style.Whereas, Brad Pitt enjoys wearing aviator styles by Tom Ford and Burberry sunglasses for a relaxed, understated look.
Celebrities have the freedom to choose from thousands of designer sunglasses, so often buy at least three to five pairs during one shopping trip. With fashion stylists on hand to shape their look, a pair of good designer sunglasses is carefully chosen to accentuate their appearance. These days, fashion conscious individuals can afford to copy their favorite style icons, by buying from online eye wear stores like Smartbuyglasses who sell designer sunglasses at inexpensive prices.
