Accessories - Sunglasses for Men

I usually just focus on womens fashion on here but for my piece in The Bay Magazine this month I have been looking at mens fashion for a change, so I thought I would do a menswear post today for a change and look at men's sunglasses.

Jon has huge trouble finding glasses that suit him that he actually likes, which is really awkward as he has sensitive eyes when it comes to bright sunlight. So I have been looking at the different styles that men wear to try and work out what will suit him the best. 

Here are a few celebrities and the styles they have chosen to wear.

Robert Downey Jr wearing Oliver Peoples Sheldrake Glasses in Black £225

Ryan Gosling wearing Persol 3028 Sunglasses £203

Tom Cruise in Ray-Ban 3362 Sunglasses £117

Simone Cowell wearing Ray-Ban 3025 £153

Brad Pitt wearing Tom Ford Astor Sunglasses £218

Zac Efron in Oakley Dispatch Sunglasses £130

So which is your fav style for men? I think I like the Ray Ban Aviator style but I know they don't suit Jon at all sadly, maybe the Persol ones Ryan Gosling is wearing may be a better style. Ah well, will just have to take hime to try some on ready for this summer.

Sponsor Spotlight - Sunglasses Shop

Sunglasses Shop has sponsored my blog for another month, so you will again find their button in my side bar. They really are the best place to get yourself cheap and designer sunglasses online. So this month I have been looking at the top colours to come off the S/S catwalk for 2013. Pantone has a great breakdown of the top 10 Spring/Summer colours, so I have been on the hunt for some sunnies to match some of this seasons hottest shades. These are my top picks!

The number 1 colour is Emerald! A beautiful rich jewel toned green that you can expect to see cropping up in all areas of fashion. Check out the awesome SXUC Kylie Sunglasses below only £20!

The green shades are big this year as another important colour is called Tender Shoots (or grass green if your like me). This is more of a bright zesty green and these Quicksilver Sunglasses are the perfect shade of green, £39 but sadly they are junior size

Poppy Red is a brilliant bright colour for the summer and these Ray-Ban 2130 Wayfarers, are perfect for this colour trend. Plus they are just super cute!

There are 2 blues that will be big this summer: Dusk Blue and Monaco Blue, and I managed to find a double whammy with these Tiffany 4053B Sunglasses as they incorporate both of these shades of blue.

Lastly I have chosen Nectarine, not a colour for the faint hearted, but sone well it can make your skin glow without the need for fake tan! These Linda Farrow Projects RDM23 are perfect and they are in the sale at the moment!

So there you have it, some stellar sunglasses in great on trend spring 2013 colours. Which is your favourite pair? What colour will you be wearing this summer?

Sponsor Spotlight - Sunglasses Shop

As you can see I am very lucky to have 2 great sponsors for this months. So here is a post all about my other sponsor - SunglassesShop.com. I thought I would post about what they have chosen as their top sunglasses trends for 2013 and the pairs they have highlighted to help you achieve these trends.

High Colour Trend

Try some coloured frames, whether in a bright pop of bold colour or a more subtle deep shade. Match with a minimalist all white outfit or find a floral pattern with a similar colour to really coordinate your look.

Achieve this look with: 

Vogue 2743S £79

Micro Pattern and Texture Trend

This is one for the men, chose a frame with a textured pattern to it. Think wood or ridged patterns for the most up to date look.

Achieve this look with:

 Paul Smith Berling £166

Time To Shine Trend

Metallics are going to be a hot look for women this summer, so why not add a little shine to your outfit with a great pair of gold framed glasses. Plus get them in a cats-eye shape to add a little touch of old Hollywood Glamour to your look.

Achieve this look with:

Italia Independent 003 £149

Maximize your Minimalism Trend

This look is all about stripping your glasses back to basics. No bright colours, no flash frame shapes or lenses, just bold, simple, sophisticate and classic shaped frames which have stood the test of time. This trend is for the ladies and gents!

Achieve this look with:

 Womens: Stella McCartney 4037 £144

 Mens: Dior Homme AL13.4 £302

So what trend takes your fancy this season? Although I'm not usually into Metallics I think I am in love with those Italia Independent Frames, they are just perfection - now if only I could save £149!
