2009 Sunglasses Trends
77Here is my question of the day:
"Jessica Sarah Parker is to Manolo Blahnik as the Olsen Twins is to _______"
The answer is SUNGLASSES!! (just my personal opinion)
In today's fashion-conscious world, sunglasses have become the ultimate, must-have accessory. Like handbags and shoes (preferably Louboutin and Manolo), a fashionista cannot have just one pair of trendy shades.
Just in case your inner shopaholic demon is calling upon you to add another pair of sunglasses to your sunglasses wardrobe, here are the 2009 trends for both lavish and frugal fashionista.
Classic Urban Chic
As seen on the Hills (regardless how much I hate Speidi, I must admit the Hills' girls have an enviable wardrobe) and on Bristish fashion icon Kate Moss, Ray-Ban Warfarer is your best bet for scoring classic urban chic.
- Durable black acrylic frame with smoke lenses
- 100% UV protection
- Designer logo embossed at temples
- A subtle signature on the lens
- Cut-away detailing on the wide arms of the frame to ensure comfortibility

The John Lennon Effect: the rounder, the better
The Olsen twins and Johnny Depp have dictated this year sunglasses trend: the rounder, the better. John Lennon's iconic round eyeglasses style has been an inspiration for one of this year's hottest sunglasses trend: the round "John Lennon" style. This trend can be spotted in recent the collections of Marc Jacob,Proenza Schouler,Ralph Lauren, Lanvin and Zegna. (Prices range from $300 to $400) This eccentric style (probably fueled by the Harry Potter craze) will definitely capture a lot of attention. If you want to be in the center of the spotlight, this style is perfect for you.
For the frugal fashionista, don't be discouraged by the price. You can always find a similar affordable style at UrbanOutfitter and Fred Flare. Prices range from $10-$20.

Oversized, Oversized and Oversized
What does fashionista love? Oversized jewelry, oversized handbags, and of course, oversized sunglasses. Oversized sunglasses continue to score big this year and thanks to Nicole Richie, I believe this trend will be last for quite a while. I personally adore this style becasue they shades instantly glamorized the look with a hint of mystery. Put on the oversized shades and you don't even have to worry about make-up!!

Ray Ban sunglasses are timeless... I had a pair that was over 10 years old, and they never were out of style.
I love this hub! I love the brand Dita! they are beyond my favorite! Do you have any suggestions where I can get some online that are cheaper?

Wayfarers are classic - but so ubiquitous on the knock-off street tables that it makes me not want to wear them! So many fun colors though.
