Go Elegantly Bold with a Pair of Prada Sunglasses
Prada is one of the most iconic designer labels of all time and if you own a pair of Prada sunglasses, then you’re certainly in good company with the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Cheryl Cole, Anne Hathaway, Paris Hilton and George Clooney all regularly papped wearing their Prada shades.
Prada was actually founded almost a century ago and remains an incredibly sought after and desired label in the fashion industry, with the Prada sunglasses collection ranging from funky and modern to classically elegant and traditional in style.
If you’re looking for something more trend-inspired this season, then the sultry cat-eye inspired look is definitely a sunglass style that you need to be sporting. Prada’s exquisitely luxurious PR21NS Prada sunglasses are one of the latest styles added to the collection and with their thick winged frame, perfectly capture the sexy and feminine cat-eye look in true Prada form! The new PR24NS Prada sunglasses are also cat-eye influenced but with their defined and angled frame, infuse a more contemporary edge.
Retro and sporty frames are also a key look this season for guys and the new PR19NS Prada sunglasses for men will add an effortlessly cool, vintage edge to every look. The ‘chunky’ style frame tone keeps the sunglasses casual and relaxed but the fine detailing seen in the frame colour and upon the arm, perfectly infuses the sleek and high fashion Prada twist. If you prefer to go more classic, then the PR54IS Prada sunglasses are masculine and versatile whilst also boasting a hint of a sporty finish with their slightly 
oversized rectangular shaped lenses and carbon arms.
Every pair of Prada sunglasses possess timeless looks and the brand is so desired and renowned in the fashion arena that it will never be regarded as out of style. The Prada brand has a beautifully distinctive look that somehow manages to combine edgy, dramatic and unique with elegant, flawless and polished, which is why a pair of Prada sunglasses will make the ultimate style investment this season and beyond.

A sight for sore eyes
You might just be able to get away with it if you’re an A-lister, but anyone lower down in the celebrity alphabet than that and you’re pushing it. Despite what you think, wearing sunglasses in inappropriate places is just not cool. No matter how effortless and care-free you think you look, you don’t. Don’t be fooled by passersby staring at you, they are not jealous of your understated style, they are probably weighing up how much of a try-hard you are on a scale of 1 – 10. A little harsh you may think, but you’ve got to be cruel to be kind.
However there are, as with any set of unspoken fashion rules, loopholes in the debate of when and where sunglasses suffice (when it’s not actually sunny). For example, if you have a headache, sunglasses can stop the glaring daylight pouring into your peepers. Other acceptable reasons include when you’re harbouring a hangover, driving, in mourning or on your holidays. The following locations on the other hand, are not the right places to be shading your eyes…
On the tube – there is no natural light, you look ridiculous.
In a nightclub – even worse than the tube, you shouldn’t have even been let in.
In the dark – it’s nighttime, it’s pitch black, the only explanation is you can’t find the mirror.
On a date – all very well if you’re going alfresco but eye contact is an important part of connecting. Lose that and you’ll lose out.
In work – it’s not big, it’s not clever and it’s certainly not professional.
In bed – don’t do it…ever.
But it’s not only the everyday folk who lose their way when it comes to the who, what, where and why of sunglasses. Celeb’s including Mariah Carey, Usher, P.Diddy, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Paris Hilton, Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell, the Beckhams, the Olsens and Bono have all become victim to taking their sunglasses addiction a tad too far, wearing them at launch parties, award ceremonies, gallery openings, press conferences and basketball games. They might be hoping it makes them more inconspicuous, but anyone wearing sunglasses inside is going to find blending into the background a challenge. So if you’d rather not be the talked-about focal point (for all the wrong reasons) let this be a warning to you – when the sun goes down, the shades must come off!

- Sports style frames – With large lenses that feature a straight top edge, the style of all Carrera sunglasses have a retro sport feel. Depending on the style of sunglasses, this varies slightly; the Safari sunglasses (as worn by Paris Hilton) are smaller than the Olympia 1 style for example. The Easy Driver sunglasses are a little more aviator style with the two lenses separated with a t-bar.

The colour combinations are complimentary of one another and again, have a sporty feel but with a bang on trend edge.
