SUNGLASSES OF THE MONTH RAY-BAN CATS 5000

Tickets for V Festival go on sale on this month at which the clothes have become just as important as the bands, thanks in part to supreme festival-goers Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. Brit supermodel Kate Moss is a regular on the festival scene and immortalised the Hunter Wellington back in 2005, when she attended Glastonbury in a pair of micro denim shorts and waistcoat, paired with the classic footwear and a pair of Ray-Ban shades. The look has created thousands of loyal, annual devotees, some of whom reportedly spend up to £500 or more trying to achieve the ‘Kate Moss’ effect. If you cannot afford a brand new wardrobe, a pair of CATS 5000 goes a very long way.

Ray-Ban has transformed the mythical aviator into this eye-catching version crafted in lightweight plastic. This new proposal of its most iconic model compliments both men and women. Slim elongated temples showcase the Ray-Ban signature, achieving authenticity from both angles. Though the teardrop shaped lenses make these sunglasses instantly recognisable. CATS 5000 come in a mouth watering array of colours such as fluorescent yellow and orange havana. These eye-popping sunglasses mean you can stand out for all the right reasons, as well as limiting the chances of loosing your friends in the crowd.

A good pair of sunglasses can work for you in a many number of ways, first and foremost they protect eyes from UV radiation. Cataracts and loss of vision are both caused by prolonged sun exposure, both of which can be avoided with better quality sun protection. CATS 5000 is fitted with technologically advanced lenses that filter up to 100 percent of UV rays, and also comes in a polar version.

According to a survey commissioned by Freeview Playback, almost a fifth of all festival goers said they had missed their favourite band while queuing for food and drink. But imagine not being able to see your favourite band because of blinding glare. Polarised CATS models come with an anti-reflective coating that cuts glare for clearer, shaper vision. They have the letter ‘P’ directly etched onto the lens to distinguish them from non-polarised Ray-Ban models and come highly recommended.

Other CATS sunglasses include models 4000 and 1000, an interpretation of the historic navigator and popular wayfarer style. CATS 4000 is a new look aviator with a slightly softened square shape. It has crystal lenses, a stylish keyhole-shaped bridge and Ray-Ban logos on the temples to complete the look. CATS 1000 is slightly reminiscent of the eternal wayfarer, but with an oversized lens shape and sexy feline flicks. Both of these sunglasses represent the bold, unconventional heritage of Ray-Ban and will no doubt appeal to the young and trendy consumer.

Ray-Ban CATS is a bold sampling of everything that makes Ray-Ban sunglasses timeless and original, and a look growing in popularity with celebrities. Kate Price and Nikki Reed have both been seen in colourful sunglasses branded with the RB initials. Leona Lewis - never slow on the uptake of a trend - has also been seen wearing Ray-Ban CATS. With the high street already churning out cheap imitations, a colourful sunglass is the look to employ come festival season this summer.
