Marc Jacobs sunglasses are chic and functional

May 20, 2010

Every fashionista knows who fashion designer Marc Jacobs is. His designs are coveted all over the world and they are for those who like to make a statement. His sunglasses reflect his design aesthetic, being both stylish and practical, reports Shadestation.com.

Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses can be a daunting task that often seems downright impossible. Jacobs has made that quest a little easier with his latest collection of ultra chic eye-wear.

There is something for everyone in this collection. The selection ranges from classic aviators to over-sized bug eye glasses. The color combinations are on-trend for summer and feature patterns and prints.

Whether you like to make a statement with your sunglasses or prefer to err on the side of caution with simple, classic designs, Jacobs has a wide enough selection to appease everyone.

These sunglasses also serve a great purpose. The sun can do irreversible damage to our eyes if we don't protect them.

The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends sunglasses with lenses that block out 99 to 100 percent of UV rays and 75 to 90 percent of visible light. Making sure your sunglasses meet these standards is an easy way to maintain good eye health.
