Dolce&Gabbana are a world renowned fashion house, admired by many. D&G are their offshoot brand that was started as a younger and more casual line with urban inspirations to set trends rather than follow them. D&G are more flamboyant, and this is shown in their designer prescription glasses range. These designs are for those in the fashion know. D&G were voted the UK’s top luxury brand, so their products are high quality and fashionable.
One of the most popular prescription glasses in the D&G range are the D&G 1199. These are rectangular frames and fairly narrow for a strong and stern look. The edges are soft and curved; however, taking away some of the harshness to give a look that is still feminine. The arms come off at the centre of the edges, and are flat to sit against the face. At the temples of the arms is a subtle but clear D&G logo in silver. These glasses give the wearer a strong and powerful look, with a glamorous edge. The best selling colour for the model in particular is the brown Havana, which is a mix of dark and light brown shades. Havana is a very flattering colour against most skin tones, but other colours are available; these include dramatic jet black and bright and vibrant blue, violet and pink, respectively.
Most visions can be catered to with these glasses, and single vision, varifocal and bifocal lenses are all available. The lenses can be ordered in different thicknesses, with thin lenses being advised to those with high prescriptions as a standard lens may look too thick or feel uncomfortably heavy. The lenses can also be coated to differing effects. Scratch resistant and anti-glare coatings are strongly advised to everyone.This hardens the lenses to stop damage, and also stops annoying light glares. Smudge, water and dust repellence are also great options, especially for those that wear their glasses at all times.

Why is “cool” so closely associated with sunglasses?“Cool” is peer group pressure on steroids and made commercial by major corporations.That a smile or a certain attitude or mannerism, will get a positive response from the people we want to impress. In the cool stakes none come higher than Aviator sunglasses. They were manufactured to exacting technical specs in the 1940’s when the US army air force realised that they needed sunglasses with large curved glasses to protect the pilot’s eyes from every angle. Looking good seemed to be a happy, if not entirely intended, accident boosted by well-known wearers including General Douglas MacArthur as well as Tom Cruise.
Prada sunglasses are equally beloved by the fashionistas, but Prada did not make its name by crafting them. In Prada’s early years, this iconic Italian brand made leather goods, expanding eventually into couture and vintage style clothing and accessories. Prada sunglasses have gained popularity thanks to that same retro, vintage style appeal and their fair share of well planned product placement and celebrity endorsement, among them David Beckham, Eva Longoria and Brad Pitt.So cool is important financially.
Another prized Italian designer who prefers to ignore catwalk trends and push fashion to new, some might say ridiculous, heights is Dolce and Gabbana. D&G sunglasses are imaginative, adventurous and many would say notorious.D&G too didn’t consider making eyewear of any description at the start.The company was founded by Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana in Milan, initially active in clothing, footwear and handbags and famed for designs that were usually in black and geometric in shape.Sunglasses didn’t appear in their portfolio until much later, but have now been joined by fragrances and even a mobile phone.
All this addiction to brand names may seem shallow and frankly consumerist, but don’t dis cool. We all have to feel good about ourselves to gain the respect and acceptance of our friends and peers. If you think you look cool or good in a pair of designer sunglasses, that’s going to help you be more confident and assertive, as well as protecting your precious sight.
