Whether it’s for fashion, protection from the sun, or a disguise behind the fact that you’ve been binge watching Game of Thrones, sunglasses are ubiquitous. We all just want to hide behind a comforting pair of lenses that scream “don’t talk to me”, especially when we are approaching a line of promoters attempting to sell us whatever it is they’re attempting to sell.

Depending on your mood and the level of social interaction you’d like to have, sunglasses can play a big part in affecting not only the people around you, but also boosting your confidence. What’s not to like about retreating behind a large pair of black shades that conceals all your emotions, all while either being super cool, mysterious or even intimidating. Well of course, there’s also the kind that’s so dark, no one will notice you being a creep. Or throwing shade. But hey, we’re not judging.

Attempting to shield yourself from the outside world does not have to mean you have to wear the darkest of lenses. Whether with a coloured lens or ostentatious frame, as long as they distract everyone from the fact that you couldn’t be bothered with concealer or mascara on that day, you’re good.
