Sunglasses for the baller in all of us

July 30, 2010

Sunglasses can say a lot about a person, even though they're only just a small accessory worn to protect our eyes. For those who like to be the center of attention and show how stylish they really are, a new line of sunglasses may be just for you.

Ballerstatus.com reports that Super Sunglasses, by RetroSuperFuture, has released a new collection featuring black and gold shades that will surely be the talk of the block.

The sunglasses are sleek and simple, with black frames accented by gold temples. They come in three styles, which all look similar except for very subtle changes along the bridge of the nose and the top of the frames.

The glasses are handmade out of acetate in Italy. They retail for $180 and up, and have been seen on celebrities like Kanye West, Sienna Miller, Jessica Alba and the band The Kills.

Sunglasses are more than just an accessory, they're a necessity for those who spend an abundant amount of time in the sun.

The American Optometric Association recommends sunglasses that block out 99 to 100 percent of UV rays.
