Designer sunglasses for men: an accessory with an history

Like many other luxury accessories for men, men's designer sunglasses have a rather old and fascinating history. A number of milestones can be traced back to their creation.It was the Eskimos, or more precisely the Inuit, who made the first prototypes of sunglasses from ivory. The aim was to protect the eyes from sunlight and snow glare.Later, in modern times, the structure began to develop and the glasses became more and more functional and effective. In the 14th century, spectacles with dark lenses arrived in Italy, although the structure was still rudimentary. In the 18th century, nobles in Venice began to wear special glasses with green lenses to protect their eyes when traveling by ship. At the same time, a craftsman in England began to use special colored lenses to correct visual defects, which were later used to protect the eyes from the sun. The models were perfected and used by more and more people.With the development of the film industry in the first decades of the 20th century, this accessory became a functional and glamorous element. It became popular not only in the cinema but also in aviation: pilots began to wear them and the famous teardrop model with mirrored lenses became popular.
