Why are sunglasses the latest additions to our wardrobe? This fashion trend has been followed for centuries and is being developing into the latest and greatest fashion accessory. Jacqueline Kennedy is known to many as John F. Kennedy's wife, but known to the fashion world as an international fashion-trendsetter. She gave a new cause to wearing sunglasses beyond just during summers at the beach. The big, dark rounded sunglasses became a legendary 2 trademark 3 in the 1960s. The whole world admired her fashion sense and as the first lady in the White House she was able to influence the fashion industry.
It seems that now more than ever sunglasses are being worn by just about anyone. From stars like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Brad Pitt, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Lopez and Usher 4, the celebrities 5 have used sunglasses as a means to reflect personality and style. Sunglasses have come to be accepted by all generations in their own unique era, but they have never been worn so much until now. In the most popular magazines sunglasses have been used not only to prevent the sun from one's eyes, but also label one as a celebrity 6 or star in the media.
In the January edition of Life & Style magazine the great look for spring 2005 was dark sunglasses worn by Brad Pitt and the twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The young actresses have put a new look on the trend of sunglasses and this has caused them to be referred to as the legendary Jacqueline Kennedy.
Why so much emphasis on sunglasses? US Weekly said that "they showcase flattering features on your face." They seem to not only be in the spring and summer wardrobes, but in the winter and fall seasons as well. They are everywhere wearable and available. In a variety of prices they reflect individuality and personality. The "classic look" has always been a style pursued by most high fashion designers like Versace, and Chanel. Keeping this in mind while designing outfits 8, designers, with their models have also showcased that "big" is in. And the latest glasses that most celebrities and trendsetters have been wearing are dark colored lenses, trimmed in black, white, red, pink and even a simple blue. Sunglasses with brown tint 9 that cause your eyes to be visible are on most of last summer's "out" lists according to the fashion industry's top "must-have list for spring and summer 2005."
