Hillary Rubin, stylist for Glasses USA has the latest scoop on Transitions!
Fashionistas hold on to your seats! Are you ready? It's time for this seasons HOTTEST sunglasses - just in time for summer! There's so much to tell you - where to start? Easy. Transitions Lenses! If you're like me, you've been wearing eyeglasses since... well, since forever and you've had a hard time finding a pair of cool eyeglasses that could, maybe, possibly look awesome as a pair of sunglasses! Welcome to the age of Transitions glasses!
Long gone are the days of switching from eyeglasses to sunglasses. Transitions let you wear the SAME PAIR of frames for both. They are super easy to activate - just walk outside! The UV rays activate the photochromic mechanism and VOILA! Instant sunglasses! I have a few recommendations on the BEST eyeglasses that transition well. To keep it simple, opt for a black plastic frame. It's simple and classic. My favorite pick is the "Hilarie" frame that also comes in red for more of a punch! For something more edgy, "Freedom" is the way to go! With its black, bold arm stems - these glasses are traffic stopping!
You should know that not every pair of sunglasses or prescription eyeglasses is protected with a UV coating. What good are a pair of sunglasses if they can't protect your eyes from the sun? Wrinkles aren't fashionable and cataract isn't sexy when you're 30. The point is to protect your eyes from the sun- you only have two eyes so ask for a UV protective coating when you buy your next pair of frames.
What about regular sunglasses? We've got you covered - don't worry! While the "bug look" was really popular in 2008, this year's look are slight more toned down and a bit more elegant. My "rich" pick for sunglasses are called "Rikki". They are somewhat over-sized in the lens but what makes these sunglasses truly elegant are their gold arm stems! While over-sized is trendy, aviators are classic! The "Marvin" style is timeless and is perfect for a lazy day at the beach or a ride on a chopper! I've saved the best look for last. It transcends gender and was originally made popular by Buddy Holly. This style is always in fashion and is best represented by the "Masyn" frame. With the cool black color, these plastic frames should be added to your "every day and any day" collection.
