Shoppers Beware: Facebook Ray-Ban Sunglasses Scam!

April 19, 2016April 19, 2016 Mags (SelectSpecs) 4 Comments

Ray-Ban sunglasses are some of the most iconic sunglasses in the world. They’ve been worn in some of modern culture’s most important Hollywood movies including Top Gun, Reservoir Dogs, Terminator 2, Risky Business, Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro and Cobra with Sylvester Stallone as well as the more recent films, James Bond’s Casino Royale and the latest Skyfall.

The Ray-Ban brand has been around since the 1930s and over the decades, two distinct styles have become classics within the fashion industry; the Ray-Ban Aviator and the Ray-Ban Wayfarer are two of the most copied... read more

How to Choose Sunglasses for the Winter

November 10, 2015November 9, 2015 Mags (SelectSpecs) Leave a comment

I once had a friend called The Fonz. My friends and I first gave him this nickname when we first discovered that he never left the house without his leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses. In fact, he rarely attended an event, day or night, summer or winter, without his trusty Ray Bans. We holidayed in Ibiza; naturally, he sported sunglasses throughout the duration. We holidayed in Prague over Christmas; again, he wasn’t without his shades. That was ten years ago. Ten years ago, when I (and maybe the rest of the world too) were less educated about eye health. But today, my friends and I realise... read more

We all know that choosing the right frames and glasses can be difficult. What colour shall I go for? What style suits me best? Will it look good with my facial features? These are all the questions that often run through your mind, however to make this task easier you should know your face shape. By knowing what shape your face is, you can determine which styles will make you look hot to trot. To determine your face shape, use a camera to capture your face then trace around the outline of your face using tracing paper or even an online drawing app. Another method is to look in the... read more

Expendables 3. Sunglasses from the explosive new movie! Feat. Stallone, Schwarzenegger & Statham

The boys are back, older, grayer and more explosive than ever for the 3rd installment of the Expendables!

This time out Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Lundgren, Statham, Li and Crews are joined by new comers Banderas, Snipes, Gibson, Ford, Lutz… and some others (but unfortunately not including Chuck Norris, Van Damme or Bruce Willis this time… perhaps they finally realised they’re just too old for this sh*t?!) for more of the same run and gun action as the previous 2 movies.

It’s guaranteed to be a fun ‘leave your brain at the door’ popcorn movie, with more action... read more

Lenny Kravitz Wearing Aviator Sunglasses and a Chuffin’ MASSIVE Scarf!!!

December 20, 2012June 23, 2014 Chris (SelectSpecs) 1 Comment

Lenny Kravitz was out Christmas shopping in New York this week, wearing a hat, sunglasses and scarf and looking all fashionable and what-not. Who says you can’t wear sunglasses in Winter, when the sun is low in the sky?

Lenny Kravitz was wearing Aviator Sunglasses, one of his favourite styles (based on previous sightings). But its hard not to notice that MASSIVE carpet off-cut he seems to be wearing for a scarf. That’s probably a field-full of sheep that has gone into producing that fashion accessory… The thing must weigh an absolute tonne. Whatever way... read more

Kim Sears’ Love of Aviator Sunglasses

July 12, 2012June 23, 2014 Chris (SelectSpecs) Leave a comment

Kim Sears is fast becoming the nations most well known girlfriend (of sorts) off the back of Wimbledon. Andy Murray’s biggest fan (and girlfriend) has become something of a fashion icon of late. The world’s television cameras were pointed at Kim throughout The Championships as she supported Britain’s Andy Murray on his way to an historic Wimbledon Men’s Final against Roger Federer.

Apparently demand for the outfit she wore during the final has been incredible with people asking for “The Kim Sears Look”. Her fashion sense this year has put her way ahead... read more

Four Trends in Celebrity Eyewear

March 2, 2012June 23, 2014 SelectSpecs 1 Comment

1. Frames Are Shrinking

Remember looking at Nicole Richie a few years ago and wondering if her head might just turn into a giant pair of sunglasses? (It came pretty close.)

Well, it looks like that trend is finally reversing itself, as we’ve begun noticing smaller and smaller frames on our favorite celebs’ faces. Even Nicole looks to have moved past her giant-sunglasses phase and has recently been seen with more modest shades.

It looks like giant frames may be a thing of the past, although we’re not quite ready to call it yet. A trend that big (get it?) doesn’t go away quietly.

2. The Return of the Horn-Rim

One trend we know... read more
