| Back to The Past With Clip On Sunglasses |
| |
If you grew up in the 80s or even caught the slightest glimpse of it on "Nick at Nite", you will laugh when you hear about clip on sunglasses. To you, they belonged on that show with Lisa Bonet where the guy wears clip on sunglasses with the shades perpetually left up like they were the best statements of fashion that ever happened to the world of accessories. Just like clip on earrings, they were always a little novel and with the inevitable track of time, just kind of tacky.
In reality, although clip on sunglasses frequently get a bad rap, they are quite practical. They may have been used for their "stylish" qualities twenty years ago but they are more often utitlized for their ability allow glasses-wearers to own a one-stop pair that has the capacity to block out sun while also providing them with a clearer vision. The older models were made with heavy metal clips or spring devices to fasten the shade to the glasses but with new sophisticated technology, they come with much more capabilities. In addition to being custom fit to your prescription frame, they are lightweight at a mere 2/10 of an ounce. They are also considerably durable with a flexible bridge and lenses. The styles available are also more plentiful than before. There are clip ons that come in blue and some that have mirrored lenses. There are frameless and rimless kinds of clip on sunglasses that have no metal hardware. Instead, they are held together with a sturdy molded bridge piece. With the great selection of options for your picking, there should be no problem finding one that best fits you.
How exactly does one go about using clip on sunglasses? It's really quite simple. All of the custom clip on sunglasses come with two shady lenses connected by a bridge that you can just mount in the center of your prescription glasses. By using two rubber coated prongs that fit snuggly beside your nose pieces, the shape of the outside edges can be fashioned so that they fit perfectly.
Whether you want to buy a pair for the sake of shameless nostalgia or because you really need UVA and UVB protection while wearing your prescription glasses, clip on sunglasses can magically transform your whole look. |
