Christmas is neigh upon us as fall draws to a close and the leaves on the ground are covered in frost in the early morning hours. While many do not consider winter a fashionable season, Prada begs to differ. Winter fashion is one of the key markets for the designer apparel and eyewear industries, where winter specific items are as hot as the nights are cold.

Winter eyewear is especially popular with designer brands like Prada, Gucci, Dior and Versace, who have designed whole outfits around their winter eyewear. Without the leaves on the trees, there is nothing to stop the sun’s harsh rays, and the snow, ice, sleet and rain only act to reflect light into the eye all winter long. Instead of straining all season this year, hop into a classy pair of designer eyewear.

Winter specific sunglasses are usually plastic, as metal frames could freeze or become cold against the skin. Likewise, they are light weight, with smaller temple bars so that wearing a hat or ear muffs over the sunglasses will not put extra pressure on your ears.

Giving the gift of designer eyewear is a great way to help your loved ones stay fashionable, protected and chic, and to give a gift that they don’t toss in the closet and never use again. When buying sunglasses for a winter gift keep in mind your recipient’s hair and eye color, doing your best to match the sunglasses to the person. For darker skin, hair and eyes it is best to go light with eyewear, usually white, silver or bronze. With lighter skin, hair and eyes a safe bet is to go dark and simple or with a safe color like blue, brown or black. When in doubt about what style will fit your friend’s face, remember that with fashion even if it doesn’t suit 100% they will still rock the show because of the brand’s power and the power of the look.

So, in the words of Charles Dickens, “God bless us, everyone!” and happy shopping this holiday season!
