Top 6 Sunglasses for Summer 2015.

So, summer has arrived (not that that it really makes much of a difference since the weather in Malaysia is practically summer all year long)! This means giving our skin the all-out protection it needs and going on a hunt for the latest in-trend pair of sunglasses to shield the sun's glaring rays from our tender eyes (again, those of us residing in Malaysia carry a pair of shades all year long anyway). Besides the fact that it is summer all year round in Malaysia, the dryest (and probably even hottest) months here would be in June and July, hence summer. Although the most of us almost always carry a pair of sunnies with us wherever we go, it won't hurt to have a new pair in line with the latest summer trends. Prepare to look smart and stylish this 2015 with these unisex picks sure to up your game this summer.

Carrera

Founded in 1956 by Wilhelm Anger, he decided to name his sports goggles company after the fastest, longest, and most dangerous race in the world, the Carrera Panamericana, a border-to-border sedan and sports car racing event on open roads in Mexico. Why? Because that was the future, that was forward thinking, that was Out There. Inspired by the Carrera Panamericana, Carrera is the ultimate display of chic adventurous boldness. Today, Carrera is improving on the past and rewriting its own history by inspiring its iconic Champion model with new dimensions, creating modern flair and the perfect fit. This is the perfect choice for the trendy but daring and is suitable for both oval and round faces with its red, square and full-rimmed frame.

Gucci

In 1921, a leather goods store was established by Gucio Gucci in his birthplace of Florence, Italy. Over 90 years later and deemed as one of the world's most reputable luxury brands, Gucci signifies a mix of tradition and contemporary style. Inspired by Gucci's very own clothing line, this model is the classic reinterpretation of the once favorite of overly eager mods and oily teddy boys: the D-frame shape is back in style. Its black, browline, half-rim frame fits heart, oval and square-like faces. The frame is made out of plastic hence providing a lightweight and resistant solution to your new pair of shades.

Prada

Founded in 1913 by Mario Prada, Prada is an exclusive store which sells a wide range of luxury goods including leather bags and beauty accessories (such as sunglasses). Possibly the most well-known mega-luxury goods brand in the world, Prada embodies the high life and is hailed for its graceful yet chic designs. Perfect for both oval and round-shaped faces, its brown, squared and full-rim acetate will give you a cool and contemporary looked with a hint of futuristic elements.

Oakley

Founded by James Jannard in 1975, the name Oakley is a combination of the two cities in Caifornia which Jannard frequently visited when he was a child: Oakland and Berkeley. With only an investment of $300, Jannard began selling 'The Oakley Grip' at motor-cross events out of the back of his car. Oakley went on to produce number plates, grips, chin guards and the like for the BMX and motor-cross communities. Today known as one of the most iconic brands on the market, Oakley presents breakthrough products which world-class athletes from all across the globe depend on to compete at the highest level possible. Its multi-colored, polarized single lens with half-rim frame is suitable for any face shape and offers superb protection against the sun while engaging in outdoor activities such as cycling or running. A word of caution though, don't wear these on a date unless your date involves running or cycling as the polarized lenses are specially engineered to reduce 99 percent of glares from the sun.

Polaroid

The first man-made polarizer for commercial use was invented in 1929 by Edwin Land, who was an undergraduate at Harvard University in Massachusetts at the time. In 1937, the Polaroid Corporation was founded and in turn achieved fame through a landmark invention of the 20th century - the instant camera. Today, Polaroid Eyewear produces polarized sunglasses and polarized lenses, as well as optical frames, reading glasses and clip-on lenses. So what are the benefits of buying polarized lenses as compared to normal ones? The benefits are many: glare-free vision, reduced eye fatigue, and 100 percent UV protection. Good enough reasons for you to get them? However, most would know that polarized lenses come with a price. Not at GlassesOnline, where you can get a pair of Polaroids at a reasonable price while still being able to strut it. It is suitable for both oval and round-shaped faces with its grey, squared, full-rim frame.

Ray-Ban

Now, who hasn't heard of the good ol' classic Ray-Ban? Founded in 1937 by American company Bausch & Lomb (yes, they are the same company who manufactures your contact lenses and other eyecare supplies), this brand is most well-known for their Aviator and Wayfarer range of sunglasses. In 1999, they sold Ray-Ban to Italian eyewear company Luxottica Group. With its gold, pilot, full-rim metal frame, this model is perfect for square, oval and heart-shaped faces. Remember Leonardo DiCaprio in The Aviator? There isn't much that can be said about this classic pair of shades that a picture of any rockstar or actor at some point in history can't say. Probably one of the most famous styles across the globe, everyone who is anyone has at one point used Aviators and gained something from their ineffably stylish background. Well, what are you waiting for? Join them!
