However, if we are talking about greatness, you cannot omit some of the biggest names in the business and thankfully we have them all lined up on the shelves ready to go. Names such as; Oakley Sunglasses, Ray Ban Sunglasses, Tom Ford Sunglasses, Gucci Sunglasses, Chanel Sunglasses, Dior Sunglasses, D&G Sunglasses and Persol Sunglasses are on the lips of all of us here at Shade Station and in this post I will talk you through a selection of these to get the pulse racing ready for the coming months!
Let’s start by clearing up the classics and there is no brand more prevalent in the eyewear industry than Oakley. Oakley Sunglasses have been and still are one the largest and most impressive sunglasses brands with new models and classic styles being sold by the shed load every year. Summer 2013 sees an eclectic mix of new styles; the Oakley Frogskins LX Sunglasses, Oakley Two Face Sunglasses, Oakley Style Switch Sunglasses, Oakley Pit Boss II Sunglasses, Oakley Jupiter Carbon Sunglasses and many more, all of which combining innovative technology with beautiful designs. Made from Oakley’s patented polycarbonate compound, Plutonite, all of the above sunglasses’ lenses are simply unrivalled in the sunglass world. Unlike the vast majority of other lenses, Plutonite itself is 100% UVA, UVB and UVC protective which means that even if they are scratched, dropped or chipped the lenses will still completely protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays. If you like your Oakley Sunglasses then I’m sure you will have heard the term ‘HDO’ before; this stands for HD Optics which Oakley use in their lenses to provide complete clarity of vision right up to the periphery of your sight. This term encompasses Oakley’s (also patented) XYZ Optics, an amazing innovation which tapers each lens from the middle out to the edges of the sunglass and will correct any refraction of light as it passes through the lens.
The new Oakley Style Switch Sunglasses have to be one of the most revolutionary pairs of sunglasses in the last decade or so. Previously the ability to quickly and easily change your lenses has been reserved for the sports specific sunglasses only, however this has all changed! Oakley have taken their patented Switchlock technology and put it in one of the best looking lifestyle frames they have ever created. This new evolution in lifestyle wear means that your lenses can be swapped around easily depending on the changes in weather and it also utilizes Oakley’s other eyewear technology including Three-Point-Fit and their unrivalled optical clarity. Part of Oakley’s new ‘Iconic’ range, the Oakley Pit Boss II Sunglasses are an evolution of the original Pit Boss sunglasses which have now gone to the big O Store in the sky! They are a showcase for some of the finest technologies ever utilized in sunglasses and they feature comfortably lightweight O Matter frame material with titanium plating, HD Polarized lenses with Oakley’s Hydrophobic Coating that repels water and smudges!
Ray Ban Sunglasses may not be able to boast the same kind of eyewear technology as Oakley, however they certainly make up for it with their beautiful designs and incredibly rich history and brand image. The designers of the original designer eyewear, Ray Ban Sunglasses have always been the brand to beat in the eyewear industry with many companies attempting to emulate Ray Ban’s success without even becoming a scratch on them! It shows just how popular Ray Ban Sunglasses have been over the years that there are still a selection of their original styles on sale today. You will all have heard of the Ray Ban Aviator RB3025 Sunglasses; the original ‘Top Gun’ shades, these were shot to fame in the 80’s where they have stayed every since! Not to mention, there is also the Ray Ban Wayfarer RB2140 Sunglasses which were the original fashion sunglasses for people that wanted to look good – naturally designed to accentuate the features of your face the squared off frames of the Ray Ban Wayfarer Sunglasses were way ahead of their time.
Ray Ban’s newest creations for the summer include a selection of beautiful models including the RB3510 Sunglasses, RB4194 Sunglasses, RB4195 Sunglasses, RB3509 Sunglasses, RB4196 Sunglasses, RB3507 Sunglasses, RB8314 Sunglasses, RB3044 Sunglasses and RB3508 Sunglasses all have new an exciting features which are sure to be incredibly popular for the coming season. Some say that where the classic Aviator falls down in it’s normally infallible reputation is the lack of vibrant colour for those of us more outgoing in this world. Well, our prayers have been answered with the release of the Ray Ban RB3044 Sunglasses! Almost identical to the classic aviator, the RB3044 features the well recognised ‘teardrop’ effect lenses and thin wire frames, however the colour schemes have been given a total makeover. Available in a range of colours from dazzling orange right through to seductive pink, the RB3044 Sunglasses are sure to set the world alight this season. Cushioned nosepieces will mould to the natural contours of your face and provide the user with a truly customised feel.
