Since being taken over by the biggest manufacturer of eyewear in 2007, who also produces the sunglasses for Ray-Ban, Oakley sunglasses have gradually become more fashionable, appealing to a an even wider consumer audience.
Oakley is the biggest selling brand of eyewear behind Ray-Ban, which has cemented its position as a global leader of premium eyewear with an indefinite amount of current wares. However, with this latest offering from the Oakley Ladies collection, Oakley is gearing up for the most exciting battle in sun history.
If it was not for the anticipated result of the Plutonite lens and the weight of the C-5 alloy frame you would never know these sunglasses are made by Oakley, which we can only imagine is the source of inspiration behind the product title.
Sunglasses never truly grow old, but some styles are more popular than others. The message for 2010 coming from all sides of the fashion board is clear, put down your everyday wear and dare-to-bare in modern visor sunglasses.
The visor is set to become the must-have shape of the summer and has been worn to full-effect by celebrity trendsetters Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson and LeAnn Rimes, as well as sporting heroes Gretchen Bleiler, Layne Beachly and Chanelle Sladics.
Visor sunglasses can be defined by their large standard single lens and the way in which the wrap around the face, increasing the level of side protection in terms of UV rays and flying objects. The extended lens coverage means that your field of vision is expanded for a perfect point of view, so perfect in fact that you won’t want to look back.
The C-5 alloy frame is surprisingly light, especially when you take into consideration that it is made using several different metal compounds. The seemingly twisted body work displays an embossed Oakley icon on the stem tip, a genteel form of decoration.
Unlike the vast majority of sun shields Oakley Deception has built-in adjustable nose pads, as apposed to the fixed acetate variety, for a custom-feel fit straight out of the box. They are also sheathed in Unobtainium so that they won't slip.
Perforations was the biggest success story of this year in terms of design, a fast growing trend that was made popular by Tom Ford, and is the theme of this fresh-faced Oakley model, which has a cut-out frame.
This model will soon be available to buy online from Sunglasses Shop and will also come with a recommended polarised lens option. Oakley polarised technology cuts through glare that is magnified by reflective surfaces such as snow or water and will and will benefit you all year round. Even in the winter. Oakley polarisation technology cuts through 99 percent of glare and also helps to enhance colour depth perception.
Deception is the first of many new Oakley design categories and is a sign of what is yet to come from the Oakley headquarters, and while Oakley aspires to the iconic status of Ray-Ban, Ray-Ban can only ever dream of achieving such technology.
