Why Does Cool Go With Designer Sunglasses

Some think that the epitome is Top Gun Aviators.Others worship Blues Brothers' Ray Bans or the Dude Lebowski.The Dude appears to be wearing Ray-Bans, but no one is certain.Perhaps they are a discontinued line as most of the wardrobe in the movie was Bridges' personal gear!   Not many are thinking Dr Strangelove when it comes to designer sunglasses!   For others it might just be the brand name of their designer sunglasses that’s vital:  Animal, Burberry, D&G, Diesel, Emporio Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Ray-Ban, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger or YSL.
So why is “Cool” important?   After all, the primary purpose of sunglasses, designer or not, is to offer protection to your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.The main job of sunglasses is to protect your eyes from UV radiation, even more important with Ozone layer depletion.At very least they should prevent glare.
“Cool” is peer group pressure writ large and made commercial by major corporations.   Cool is the development of what we learn as infants and teenagers:  a smile, a certain savoir faire, attitudes or mannerisms that gets us the most positive response from the people we want to impress.As a teenager, friends and peers are the in crowd.As and adult, those people are likelier to be potential sexual partners.
Whatever brand or style your choose, select what looks best on you. Sunglasses that look good on your mates may not look so great on you.  Buy sunglasses that suit your facial shape, hair colour and skin tone. Take things like frame colour and shape into consideration when choosing. Choose sunglasses with a frame colour that complements your complexion.If fashion is important to you, then match designer sunglasses to your outfits by all means! Buy several pairs to go with your extensive wardrobe.
Let's not start to dismiss the notion of "Cool" altogether, because self esteem is also important.We all need to feel good about ourselves. More important (because it's the one area we do control) is what we do with our own talents.That is the essence of self-esteem.   And if thinking you look cool or good in a pair of designer sunglasses reinforces that perception and self esteem and encourages you to be confident and assertive, then where’s the harm in that?
