Black Is Back In Eyewear Fashion
Christina Aguilera looks fantastic in these black Prada oversized sunglasses. With summer fast approaching youd expect most celebrities to be donning lighter colored frames and more youthful, fun eyewear. Despite this, stars seem to be doing the opposite in keeping to their steadfast addiction to black sunglasses.
Remember Tom Cruise in Risky Business in his black Ray Ban Wayfarers? The film would have lost some of its pizzazz if he had been wearing any other color. Remember Tom Cruise in Top Gun? Would you have taken him seriously in anything other than black aviators? The point is that black is taken more seriously than any other color. Its one reason why we wear black to funerals, and the LBD (little black dress) is our safety net for any occasion we need to present a great first impression for. So, its no wonder the stars use this as their fallback.
What would The Devil Wears Prada be like if the star were wearing pink Prada, instead of black sunglasses? Ill tell you what, she wouldnt be very intimidating. The film would have flopped. No bad guy wears anything but black or deep purple, this is just a common, global understanding (although apparently the costume designer for Iron Man 2 didnt get the memo).
For summer fashion, more color is usually a smarter choice, as are lighter colors like tan, white and beige, and more curls and summer fun. You dont have to follow the stars examples in sticking to your winter black eyewear.
