With my sunglasses on, I’m Jack Nicholson. Without them, I’m fat and 60. — Jack Nicholson, Actor   

Starting with this quote from widely known and esteemed actor Jack Nicholson we may see how much a stylish pair of sunglasses may modify our look and influence our public appearance. Known as the no. 1 accessory for celebrities and style addicts it likewise may help us – besides shelter from the sun – help look better. Not only do we have a much better view in very light environments, we may express our attitude and our view of the world with a stylish pair of sunglasses.

You think this is to provocative? Then do not forget Holly Golightly in Truman Capotes masterwork “Breakfast at Tiffanys”. What would she be without her classic dark shaded sunglasses? Can you imagine here standing at the storefront, observing the gems without this perfectly pretty pair of glasses? Her impression and aspect would have been altogether different. Or think of Neo and Trinity in the Matrix trilogy. Can you imagine them fighting versus the assorted Mr. Smith’s without their shades? By the way, Carrie-Anne Moss, the actress who played Trinity, stated, that once she puts on her sunglasses, people recognize her. Bad luck for Ms. Moss

So assuming that we have a mutual understanding that sunglasses are a must-have accessory for stylish humans we next take a look at what the new styles for sunglasses in summer 2009 are. In this article we will principally focus on the brands Oakley, Emporio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Quiksilver.

Let us commence with Oakley. If we take a look at a their sunglasses collection, we see, that Oakley proceeds with their very dominant “braod” style. Although we see numerous more fragile models like the new “Splinter” or “Square Whisker” ones, the dandier percentage is their aggressive and very dominating line they introduced once with their “Oil Drum” models. With Oakley you always may see that they likewise build functional / sports goggles for snowboarding as a lot of the parts of those product lines were employed for the sunglasses as well. Some typical models underpinning this statement are “Fives Squared” and “Antix”. Also it seems with Oakley that they find back to use more colorful lines than in the past season. The “Antix” and particular edition (like Sebastion Loeb Antix) are a good example for this. Although black is still the dominant color (most of the time with grey or black glasses) they are again moving to some “new freshness”.

The next brand we want to take a look at is Emporio Armani. If we dive into the Men’s / Accessories / Sunglasses division we see that Armani has a very similar style like Oakley. They use the same ingredients (aggressive / dominant) with the same basic colors (black). As their product line do not focus primarily on sunglasses we see less models than with other brands but a lot of models seem outstanding. In the Men’s division the “Extra Wrapping Sport Mask” needs to be mentioned. It is a seamless pair of sunglasses looking very sportive, as the name may already have supposed. Those glasses give a very “broad look” but with the sameness costume (casual wear e. g. a good deal of nice bermudas with a body fit shirt) it will look spectacular. This model is perfective for a day at the beach with your friends even though we think you have to be a little careful as the glasses look someways fragile.

If you head over to the sunglasses women’s division you may without doubt or question see what makes Emporio Armanis style for girls this year. Oval oversized glasses with a heap of black to purple colors and galore very nice apps on the side pieces. The “Armani bird”, which forms their logo is very prominent as with all sunglasses of Emporio. The one that stands out in this collection from the author’s point of view is the “Oval oversize very feminine” model. It has a translucent frame with very nice shaded glasses. The black temples are in a nice contrast to the light looking glasses which would be corresponding nicely with a decent make-up. Those glasses are perfective for a night out or for galore buying goods in the town as they guide the views towards the wearers face.

Dolce & Gabbana are – as always – rather eccentric this year. They demand numerous braveness from their clients as they have a good deal of colorful models equated to the other brands cited in this article. One of the more decent models is the D&G 6020 with a very wide side piece and black glasses. It’s is colored in black with the Dolce & Gabbana line without doubt or question visible on the side. Perfect if you are a celebrity and want to go out for dinner without being recognized each five meters. One similar model is the 6017B which has the famous D&G logo as connector amongst glasses and temples and hence having the brand a little bit more present. These are likewise available in a tortoise color which are a good addition to earthly colored clothing. Similar as Oakley, D&G offers a heap of seamless glasses, here we mention the models 6036 and 6036B which are available in various colors such as tortoise, black and shades of brown. Even more stylish are the new models 4040G, 4041G and 4043G all of them stuffed with some very eye-catching Swarovski crystals. The last cited (4043G) has them used in multiple colors and makes the wearers face shiny and glamorous.

Lastly Quiksilver – a manufacturer of sportive clothing, gear, accessaries and sandals – has a lot of fresh approach to their 2009 collection. Coming from a history as one of the classic brands for surfers and water-loving humans they have a good deal of more colors related to water and water-sports like the cyan-colored “moonwalker” models in a very classic shape. Also Quiksilver has a numerous blue glasses available which became very ordinary in the past few years. Following the standard trend of wide sunglasses noted with the other brands, Quiksilver offers numerous rather “thin” models like “J&D “, “Ferris” and “Griffin”. They likewise have numerous color variations like the at the moment popular tortoise look which was noted with a heap of other brands before.

Altogether we may see that it will be a hot summer with a lot of probabilities to express your own style and personality through a lot of stylish sunglasses which will give the finishing touch to your appearance.
