What is the Sunglasses trends for 2009 new fashions ?

When shopping for sunglasses, keep in mind that the frame should fit comfortably on your face. However, if a frame is too large, or does not fit properly to your head, it can often be adjusted:

Metal frames can be bent slightly, and screws can be tightened on the hinges. Plastic frames can be heated and formed for a better fit.

The color and shape of the frame you choose depend on your personal style and preference.

However, many sunglass aficionados say they like bolder styles, colors and details since they will be wearing them occasionally and only outside, as opposed to that are worn all day long indoors. Eyeglasses are considered "normal" eyewear, whereas sunglasses may be viewed as specialized eyewear, particularly for those who love the outdoors.

"First, look for lightweight sunglasses that provide all-day comfort," says Chris Abbruzzese, Maui Jim sunglasses vice president of marketing. "Make sure the lenses are impact resistant, scratch resistant and corrosion resistant (hinges) ? these are key features for anglers, for example."

Are you tired of the tyranny of these sunglass shapes, but still interested in embracing the retro trend? You're in luck. Another classic shape popping up in paparazzi shots recently is the "tea" sunglass. These are better known as "John Lennon" sunglasses, because the late Beatle favored the round, close-set lenses and wire rims. Jack Black wore a pair with red lenses in the film "Tropical Thunder". Prada offers an updated version of these glasses in chunky black plastic (the SPR51I) if you're not keen on the wire-rimmed originals. And if you're not keen on paying retail prices, you can buy replica designer sunglasses for less from  http://www.knockoffnamebag.com
