Oversize sunglasses reduce health risks.

Oversized sunglasses are all the rage for designer sunglasses producers. From Chanel to YSL the consensus is; if it isn’t chunky, forget it!


Celebrities love it, not only are they draped in the latest fashion, but it makes for excellent shade from the paparazzi, perfect if you’re stumbling out of a nightclub at 3am and would like to hide the night gone by! Alla, Lady Gaga! After all why would you need sunglasses in the dead of night?


Yet, there is another plus from these bulky sunglasses, as research from the vision council suggests. The area of skin around the eye is very delicate, therefore is at high levels of risk from UV rays. The extra protection provided by the designer sunglasses, not only reduces the risk of skin cancer, but also reduces squinting, which causes “crows feet.”


Perfect if you’re looking for an excuse to splash out on those must have glasses! Enjoy!

Big is Beautiful

Oversized eyewear looks great on all face shapes and is big news this summer.

Whether you’ve had one too many to drink the night before, have had an accessories crisis, or are looking to oomph up an outfit, oversized glasses are an easy solution.

An on-the-street example of easy sleek sophistication, designers have gone crazy for oversize this season. This is largely due to the abundance of space that the broad frames and arms allow in order to accommodate season-specific branding and designers’ logos.

If what you’re after is an immediately identifiable frame, oversized glasses are the way to go. And the wealth of designers with a fantastic offering of this particular style of eyewear this season is simply staggering. Take your pick from Bulgari, Chanel, Dior, Dolce and Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Versace or Yves Saint Laurent - or to save yourself some time, head over to sendoptics.com to peruse them all.

Getting the Hollywood look has never been so easy or so stylish; follow in the fashion footsteps of A-listers Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller, Victoria Beckham and Lindsay Lohan for an overt fashion statement.
