SUNGLASSES

We carry a huge range of alternative and gothic sunglasses! Foxblood, Banned Alternative, and even Killstar are alternative brands that have supplied our range of sweet sunnies (also informally known as shades). Sunglasses are a form of protective eyewear designed primarily to prevent bright sunlight and high-energy visible light (as well as harmful UV (ultraviolet) radiation from damaging or bringing discomfort to the eyes. They can sometimes also function as a visual aid, as variously termed spectacles or glasses featuring lenses that are coloured, tinted, polarized or darkened. In the early 20th century, they were also known as sun cheaters. Since the 1940s, sunglasses have been a popular fashion accessory, especially on the beach!

Retro sun glasses, Cat Eye sun glasses, Heart sun glasses, Mod sun glasses, kids sunglasses, sunglasses cases and epic alternative styles you've never seen before!

Sunnies have helped keep the glare down for us for thousands of years. Fast forward to the 20th Century and it is clear that sunnies became trendy and in vogue as a result of movie stars wearing them casually. Sunglasses had become "cool", and were worn for fashion more than vision correction. By 1938, Life magazine wrote of how sunglasses were a "new fad for wear on city streets ... a favourite affectation of thousands of women all over the U.S." Polarised sunglasses first became available in 1936. The lenses of polarized sunglasses reduce glare reflected at some angles off shiny non-metallic surfaces, such as water. They allow wearers to see into water when only surface glare would otherwise be seen, and eliminate glare from a road surface when driving into the sun.

Sunglasses can be worn to hide one's eyes. They can make eye contact impossible, which can be intimidating to those not wearing sunglasses (many top-ranking poker players use these to conceal their "poker face").
