Known for his personal style and easy way with looking good, Robert Downey Jr. (Sunglasses man!) has always had a bit of a penchant for protecting his peeps with gorgeous sunglasses. He has chosen more outlandish styles in the past – you know, ones that were a bit more head turning. With age, he’s taken his passion for sunglasses and taken his look up a notch. We are certainly happy to see that! Whether he’s dressed to the nines or sporting a more casual look, he just looks good!
Robert Downey Jr – Sunglasses Man
These last frames are Prada Linea Rossi sunglasses. They are sleek and very manly. Robert certainly has a way with them and has been spotted in them several times. The clean lines and gradient lens really add a nice sophistication to his overall look, while somehow preserving his youthful charm. Maybe it’s his reserved smile, but you can always spot Robert Downey Jr…Sunglasses Man no matter which sunglasses brand he’s wearing.

Okay, so Bvlgari is not usually known for crazy lines or over the top looks that will have people scratching their heads. That’s fine. We get it, we know, and that’s part of what makes the brand popular. It’s solid, it’s reliable it’s classic in the ‘classic’ sense of the word. But these Bvlgari Fireworks sunglasses show a more showy side of the designs. It’s good to have a little fun now and then, no? It doesn’t all need to be so austere and serious and these sunglasses are out to sparkle and put a little glint in your eye.
Bvlgari Fireworks Sunglasses
The 8031B style is a typical over-sized frame that has very nice detailing on the side of them. The floral design is beautiful and will accent other jewelry you are wearing. With a retail price of about $360, I wouldn’t be wearing this to the beach. Also typical is the shape of the temples, which start off really thick near the lenses and get smaller near the loop on the end. It’s a really nice style that should be complimented with equally stunning clothing. (Read more here)
These really are quite stunning. The design is from several years back and seems to have touched off a line of eye wear that incorporates a mix of metals and gemstones on the frames… And what a great idea it is! The Bvlgari Fireworks sunglasses line is really pretty, innovative and different. I hope these ‘classics’ never go out of style!

Not only was Elvis known for his beautiful singing and innovative sound, he was also widely known for his personal style and look. This included his hair, clothes, shoes and Elvis Presley sunglasses!

You know for sure when you see these frames who they belonged to and who wore them best. Would that really stop you from at least trying them on, though?
Elvis Presley Sunglasses
When anybody says “Elvis” what comes to mind? How about this…
That high-collared, rhinestone-clad jumpsuit with the flared bellbottom legs, that thick, slicked-back black hair looking oh-so-perfect, those crazy and erotic dance moves as he pointed at women in the crowd, and of course, the sunglasses. Outrageous, flamboyant and bigger than life translated into Las Vegas and Elvis.
Yeah, saying the name brings many images to mind and many memories. Movies, song lyrics, that crooked smile and yes, even Elvis Presley sunglasses were a huge part of the persona and the look. So much so, that it’s rare for anyone to try and really copy his look, even with the sunglasses alone. Would you try to rock out some Elvis sunglasses? Post your pics on our Facebook page!
