Icons Of Eyewear
Sunglasses seem to redefine cool all the time. And there’s an unmistakable allure and stylish attractiveness when worn by some, that can only be defined as a sense of fashionable elitism
For those of you who think wearing sunglasses at night or on a cloudy day is odd, I’d say think again. It’s not always for protection that one wears them and one can’t deny that it does add a bit of edgy glamour to the person’s appearance.
One doesn’t have to be an actor to look cool in sunglasses or eyewear but then again, it’s easier to remember an actor than to remember the cool dude or the pretty young thing you saw at the beach or the club the other day.
If you were to do a random search on actors or actresses with sunglasses, there’s a whole lot of them that pop up.. but on checking the list you see that some names appear a whole lot more than the others
Brad Pitt
It’s mainly squares and aviators for this Hollywood hunk. And although he has been seen at times with oval shaped sunglasses, those seem to be often the exception rather than the rule.
Tom Cruise
Ever since he became the poster boy for Aviators with the iconic Top Gun film, Tom Cruise and ‘looking cool with sunglasses’ have become synonymous. Well, what can one say? If you are Tom Cruise, everything suits you!
Robert Downey Jr
Another actor who never hides his eyes, Robert loves his tints as well and rarely goes dark with his sunglasses.Known as much for his sense of style as he is for his star-power, he definitely knows how to make his eyewear speak.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
The robot from the future who looked you in the eyes and said ‘I’ll be back’ and ‘Astalavista’ also wore the coolest sunglasses of the time. Arnold in real life seems to prefer oval shaped sunglasses and seems to carry them off pretty well too.
Johnny Depp
While Depp’s fashion is his own unique, eclectic mix of bohemian, grunge, and rocker, he stays true to his love of accessories. Also Johnny likes to look you in the eye. And his sunglasses tend to be never too dark.
Sylvester Stallone
Stallone’s been pretty loyal to his aviators and the models might change but whether he’s a Rambo, Rocky, Cobra or plain old Sylvester, the shape is almost always an aviator.
