Why Does Cool Go With Designer Sunglasses

For some, the acme of style is super metro Aviators as seen in Top Gun.Others might mean Ray Bans as in the Blues Brothers or the Big Lebowski.Everyone knows that "The Dude" is sporting Ray Bans but they don't seem to ones that we know and love.  Maybe they’re an old line, since most of the wardrobe was Bridges’ own stuff!   Not many are thinking Dr Strangelove when it comes to designer sunglasses!   For others it might just be the brand name of their designer sunglasses that’s vital:  Animal, Burberry, D&G, Diesel, Emporio Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Ray-Ban, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger or YSL.
What's all the fuss about "Cool"?After all, the basic task of sunglasses, even if they are designer sunglasses, is to provide protection from dangerous UV rays.  The essential bit about sunglasses is that they provide ultra violet protection (preferably 100% protection) from UV radiation and what with the ozone layer being depleted, that’s even more vital as UV rays can cause lasting and permanent damage to your eyes if the right precautionary measures aren’t taken.Bottom line is that at least they should guard against glare, especially when driving.
"Cool" is major corporation speak for making money from peer group pressure.Cool is basically what we did as infants - it's a smile or an attitude that gets the reaction we want from those we want to impress.As an adolescent, those people are normally peers and friends.  As an adult, those people are more often the opposite sex (or any other gender of potential lover).
Naturally, whatever brand name you opt for, get the designer sunglasses that look best on you. The same style of sunglasses can look completely different on different face shapes.Buy sunglasses to suit your hair colour, skin tone and face shape. When making your choice, remember to consider frame shape and colour. Choose frame colours that complement your skin tones when buying sunglasses.  If you’re that fashion conscious that you want to match designer sunglasses with the outfits you wear, then go crazy! Get as many pairs as you like to match your complete collection of outfits.
"Cool" also feeds into Self Esteem.We all need to gain respect and acceptance to feel good about ourselves. Even more important, and the one thing we have total control over, is what we actually do with our own abilities.  That is the secret of self-esteem.   And if thinking you look cool or good in a pair of designer sunglasses reinforces that perception and self esteem and encourages you to be confident and assertive, then where’s the harm in that?
