It’s no secret, I love aviator sunglasses! I love the various shapes and sizes. I love the color range available. I love the infinite lens possibilities ranging from plain old cr-39  to high end polarized glass options. They look great with a gradient tint and they look great with a flash mirror coating. The look is just as classic with a rose tinted lens as it is with a smokey greay. The Aviator is one style that can do just about anything and not go wrong.

A perfect example of this is the awesome acetate aviators worn by a celebrity featured in this pic. Bold styling, classic tear drop shape, gradient lenses and a double bridge…. what’s not to love!

There have always been the fans of perfect round eyeglasses. Almost a cult like following, believing that if it wasn’t prefectly round they didn’t want it. For years, this was an issue. Many designers and eyewear companies stopped making this shape feeling it was too dated, too backward, and not appealing to a big enough audience.

That’s not the case anymore. Round eyewear is back and in a big way. Designers like la Garconne, Proenza Schouler and Anne et Valentine have circular eyewear in their current lines with more to come. Some big, some small, all very en vogue. Various colors have found their way to round frames though it seems it is often the classic like tortoise or black that are most popular.

Check out this story on stylist Rachel Zoe and her circle sunwear.

I just read this question via Google news reader and believe the answer may be Chrome Hearts. Chrome Hearts is a popular brand born of motorcycle and rock and roll. Often the temples are adorned with crosses, daggers and other goth like embellishments. Many frames sport engraving or leather that has been stitched around the frame. This style is highly sought after and not always easy to find. Sold only at Chrome hearts Boutiques throughout the world an a few authorized optical stores these frames can be hard to find.
