Tom Ford Sunglasses are Back!

Tom Ford Sunglasses are back! The styles are unmistakably appealing: full of geometric shapes and large oversized frames. A relatively even blend of male and female styles make up the collection and the price point is going to put each frame around $300. Women in particular will be interested in the collection due to its high volume of unique and highly modernized styles. Many of the male styles are straightforward aviators or rectangles, while women will see oversized squares, rounds and cat-eyes.

Tom Ford was born and bred in Austin Texas. After working with Gucci he began his own brand, which quickly took off and now remains one of the leading designer names in the industry. His frames take some risks but maintain a classic and vintage style, which can give the collection a unique feeling but maintain a sense of nostalgic class. We have male, female and unisex styles populating the collection and the design choices are very unique to the brand. Bold choices are a key trait of the Tom Ford brand and his sunglasses line is no exception to the rule.

Tom Ford Sunglasses are highly popular among celebrities as well, with Brad Pitt and Gwen Stefani being huge supporters of the brand. They are seen often wearing various Tom Ford styles.

Here are some of the more unique and popular frames:


Tom Ford FT0008 Jennifer Sunglasses	Tom Ford FT0009 Whitney Sunglasses
Comes in Dark Brown Transparent – Rose Gold Temple/ Brown Gradient (692), Dark Gray – Rose Gold Temple/ Smoke Gradient (B5), Brown (38F).	Comes in Brown (38F).

Eye Styles of the Rich & Frame-Us

If you have ever tuned in to the shows on the E! entertainment channel or ever logged onto celebrity-obsessed web sites such as TMZ, you may be familiar with the persistent shouts of the paparazzi, stopping at nothing to grab the attention of the stars. Casual photographers they are not. Day in and out, their cameras are ready to capture images of the hottest stars, disregarding time or place. The paparazzi crowd around back exits of night clubs, cluster together in parking lots and affix themselves to storefronts and restaurants just to snap a photo, often waiting hours to capture an image in the few seconds it takes to scuttle from vehicle to door.
