Sunglasses can be the accessory to make your outfit just right. Now we all know and that sunglasses are so much more than just that, they are also protection for your eyes. However, sunglasses do not simply serve for form and function, they can be fun too.
Novelty sunglasses are great, they go from extreme to clever, sure you may not always have an occasion to wear them at but its great to have a couple laying around in case you don’t have a costume for that Halloween party that you were invited to at the last minute or if you are in a festive mood.
Novelty glasses can be so much fun. They come in many outrageous shapes, colors and even sizes. There are those shaped like guitars, beer bottles or mugs, cocktails glasses, palm trees, cats and almost every shape you can imagine. A pair of novelty sunglasses can put any costume over the top. It can bring much needed cheer to any party and can make any party goer be the center of attention.
Perhaps the most famous novelty sunglasses are the ones created by Richard Sclafani and Peter Cicero. One night in the year 1990 whilst they were in a beer soaked state of mind, they began talking about how to revolutionize the design of sunglasses. They then came up with the famous 1991 sunglasses and realized that despite their drunken haze, they may actually have come up with something worth marketing. They used the bottom stems of the nines to go as a place for the lenses. After selling 500 pairs that new year, they came up with a new pair for every year. Because of their great success and despite the fact that they patented the design (which many manufacturers found ways around), they suddenly found themselves in a funk and decided to bow out of the novelty sunglasses game in 2009. Today, they produce other novelties but their revolutionary idea continues to invade the streets each and every New Year.
Designers have also tapped into the novelty sunglass market, their designs may not be as ostentatious as those in a costume shop but they have found that Designer Novelty sunglasses have a place in the whimsical hearted as well. They perhaps tap into the more retro styles as opposed to huge Christmas balls hanging from the arms of the sunglasses.
One thing is certain. Novelty designer sunglasses are a grand invention indeed.
