Black and Professional or Colorful and Fun?

Filed Under Brands Wave, Designer Eyeglasses, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge, Fun with Eyewear | View Comments



Choosing a direction when it comes to your wardrobe may have been a conscious choice or it may have been something you watched, almost like a spectator, happen as you accumulated more and more clothing. Were you drawn to black designer goods like Prada and Dior, or were you possibly drawn to color, like Alexander McQueen or Ed Hardy? Either way, it says a lot about your personality, your business style and your goals and ambitions.
Black and professional clothing look good in any occasion. You can have an entire wardrobe of blacks, grays, whites and possibly tans and do just fine. Everything you buy will match, you’ll always look sharp and you will always be in style. It is easy to accessorize with a black wardrobe. Silver and gold go well wit blacks, meaning you can wear eyeglasses and sunglasses that serve to make your wardrobe look even more professional and elite. Silver is an especially modern and fashionable look. For eyeglasses, try Armani. For sunglasses, check out Serengeti.
 
If color is your thing, you may have to invest more time in buying accessories and looking professional. It is not easy to pull of a professional look in purple (well, unless you are Prince). If you find yourself drawn to bright colors, you can usually accessorize easily with blacks and browns, which have a higher chance of matching most of your wild wardrobe. Prada is a good brand for black or brown fairly simple and straight forward accessories. If you choose to defy conventions and want colorful accessories, Ed Hardy makes bright and colorful sunglasses, eyeglasses and even goggles so you can look chic and bright on the slopes. Infusing color with accessories is yet another way to assert your creativity and brightness.

How to Dress like a Celebrity

Filed Under Brands Wave, Designer Sunglasses, Fun with Eyewear | View Comments



Getting a sexy, celebrity look isn’t as difficult as you probably think. No, with a few simple tips you can be parading around town dressed like Jennifer Anniston, complete with Tom Fords, in new time. And you wont just look the part you’ll have a unique, celebrity-like look that your friends will be jealous of.

Your first step is to start at the top and work down. Sunglasses are the single most important object in your wardrobe. The sooner you realize how important they are to a celebrity look the sooner you’ll be willing to invest in designer eyewear. Your face is the first thing people see and the only and primary way they distinguish you from everyone around you. Don’t put a fake product on your mug, only the best for your most important asset. Prada, Versace, Chanel—whatever your preference but go designer and go big. Make an impression with your sunglasses that says you deserve to be taken seriously and treated like your inner celebrity is ready to be released.

Working your way down, next address the uniqueness of your clothing. Only wrap your torso in clothing you’d be proud to sell to your friends and family (if you had to). You should never wear anything you don’t absolutely love. The reason being that if you are not comfortable you wont’ be confident, and when you lose confidence you lose your edge.

A wallet or purse is the next accessory people tend to notice. For women, this is an extremely important accessory. It shows that you know something about fashion, and not just follow-the-leader fashion, but on-your-own and yet still chic fashion, which is the only survivable kind. Whatever you wear below your waist will be irrelevant and will fall in line if you follow the sunglasses and loveable top rule, and pay attention to your accessories.

Aussies and Eyewear

Sun, sex appeal, sexy accents, designer fashion, and sultry bodies. Any outsider is bound to use one or all of these terms to describe their idealized version of Australia. Visitors speculate about the Dior-clad blondes on the beaches and the Versace elites in the high rises. Yes, tourists are flocking to Australia in new numbers. Even American icon Opera is heading to Sydney for a live show. Australia is the newest and hottest destination for western tourism, and with more press than ever in the form of movies (Australia!) and hot action stars (Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman) to pump up the love of the outback and the irreverence that made Australia great, tourism is unlikely to abate.

With all the attention on Australia in the travel world, what is it that makes outsiders so allured to the former penal colony? True, the typical blonde and blue-eyed beauties have their fame. The outback has its appeal, and the love of adventure is of course a real factor. But, when all of these things are available elsewhere, there remains a mysterious allure to Australia that many think is due to the rich dichotomy between the rugged love of the outdoors and the strictly fashionable and posh appearance of the Aussies who travel abroad.

Outsiders have the idea that everyone venturing out of their fashionable homes in Sydney are doing so clad entirely in designer clothing and especially fashionable eyewear. Prada, Dior, Versace, Burberry and MiuMiu are all common sights on beautiful women around Sydney, with strong sun and beautiful skin, its no wonder the women cling to their eyewear whenever they leave the apartment. Part of the beauty and allure of Australia is represented in the beauty of the Australian women.

International Fashion Trends 2010

Filed Under Designer Eyeglasses, Designer Sunglasses, Eyewear Knowledge, Fun with Eyewear, International Designer Glasses Blogs, Vision Direct Sponsorship | View Comments



At times, the international world and the regional fashion trends don’t overlap or, in some cases, even relate. When Dior was big in America, it was a lesser-known designer brand in Europe. But, to be an internationally adept model or fashion fanatic you need to be able to be versatile and follow the international fashion trends year by year.

In 2010 some interesting international trends emerged that a real fan would be aware of already. To highlight the obvious—black was back this past year in a big way. The most obvious trend was also the most subtle. Black is nearly always hot, but this year black was back with a vengeance. We saw loads of texture and flare, but with a subdued or subtle coloring scheme instead of the loud and obvious of previous years. The trends became so main-stream in the fashion world that even designer advertisements and runway shows had an overly black focus. We’re talking black lace, leather and suede, black veneer and black accessories.

In the accessories world, green became the new black, and we don’t mean the color green. Being world-environment friendly is the hottest thing in the fashion world, and bone, wood and other natural and non finite items in accessories was extremely hot. Even in the eyewear industry, there were wooden frames released recently as well as the Oakley all-recycled frames. Fashion is always hot, but being environmentally active as well as smoking hot is a killer combo, in any country.
