What do you know about Sunglasses?

October 28, 2018 /

Hello Handsome , Hello Beautiful!!!!
Today is such a beautiful day, with sun shining beautifully and extending its rays, we can conclude it’s a perfect day for our “sunnies“.
Actually, everyday and any day is perfect for a pair of glasses.

I get to ask people often about what kind of glasses they are putting on and the conversation usually goes:
Me: Buddy, what kind of shades is this?
Buddy : RayBan
Me : Nope, I didn’t ask for the brand, I’m asking for the type.
This is usually my conversation with most people regarding Sunglasses and I have come to the notice that most people do not know the kind of glasses they are wearing rather they are more concerned about the brand they are putting on.
So basically, my blog post today will be about the different kinds of Sunglasses that exist on planet Earth.
Are you excited to learn more?

I am pleased to show you more….

Different types of Sunglasses

Wayfarer  is one of the most worn glasses especially among men. Its like their favorite pair of glasses.
Wayfarer was originated by an American Optical designer “Raymond Stegeman” in 1952. He worked with the RayBan co-parent at that time.
They have distinctive trapezoidal frame with sturdy temple arms which gives it a more masculine look. Interestingly, the word ‘wayfarer’ means someone who travels by foot.
