I Don’t Wear My Sunglasses at Night
I got into the habit of wearing sunglasses at a young age. I was thirteen when I bought my first pair. Now, millions of Americans wear these tinted lenses and look good doing it. I’m not saying I started the trend, mind you. The key, I found, is finding a pair that fits your face. Me, I have a roundish face. This means aviator shades are out and boring square frames are in.

I groove on Cory Hart and that whole “Sunglasses at Night” thing. Of course, I think his paean to shades was a reaction to the fad that started in the 1980’s. Who can forget Tom Cruise — in any movies in the 1980’s — and Huey Lewis and the News? A decade of Ray Bans (does anyone remember Spuds McKenzie?) has left its mark. Now, you can find a stylish pair at any local corner store.
The only pair of shades I’ve ever longed for are the shades James Dean made famous. These were not Ray Bans or even Persols. They were dime-store clip-on shades.

Nothing sets off the paparazzi alarms like a pair of shades on Sunset Boulevard. Me, I’ll stick to the dime-store shades and wait for the cameras to start clicking.
If you want to wear the coolest shades, I’d recommend you opt for a pair of disposable contact lenses. With these disposables, the world of shades is at your feet. This and other unique content ” articles are available with free reprint rights.
