Small frame designer sunglasses are more popular than ever. The fashion for shades began about one hundred years ago when movie stars worked out of doors and wealthy people began to spend more time in the sun. The earliest sunglasses had little, round lenses and soon, the very flattering aviator frame became popular. Today, these frames are still in vogue and many other types have emerged, including butterfly lenses, square, diamond and even, triangular shapes.
Much has been written about the right lenses for the shape of your face, round, square, oval, rectangular or heart-shaped, and much of it can be ignored. Choose sunglasses that make whatever statement you want to make. Wire aviator frames and dark, scholarly horn rim will always be the most popular materials, but many designer houses produce frames in bold colours and sparkling materials. What is important is the quality; by buying a recognised label, you ensure that the lenses are UV protected and the frames are made of the finest materials.
