shutter shades

Shutter shades are bright and fashionable pieces of eyewear that are made purely as a fashion statement. Unlike sunglasses, these accessories do not add UV protection and unlike traditional eyeglasses, they do not enhance your vision. So what’s with the ever popular trend in hip hop culture? The answer is that hip hop fashion continues to push boundaries and break down barriers. The shutter shades add fun and excitement to an otherwise “normal” outfit. These shutter shades are characterized by having no lenses, but a series of shutters built into the frame itself. They are available in just about any color imaginable and are designed to be unisex.

The shutter shade trend was directly inspired by 80's hip hop fashion, which is the focal point of today’s retro hip hop look. What really catapulted this otherwise dormant accessory was the fact that fashion trendsetter Kanye West was scene sporting the style on various high profile appearances. From music award shows to the popular stronger music video, the popular recording artist showed off his custom Alain Mikli designed shutter shades.

These glasses are made in bright vibrant colors, the calling card of 80s fashion. The bright colors add a great contrast to everyday clothing, and that’s what makes this popular accessory stand out. The large size of the fronts gives these shades a youthful look that’s all hip hop. They are modeled after the same ones seen on Kanye West, who plans to continue wearing his favorite pair.

These shades are perfect for anyone who follows hip hop fashion. These unique eyeglasses are not available in mainstream stores and only available through exclusive hip hop retailers. Very limited quantities are available. Be the first at your local late night hot spot to be seen sporting a pair of these rare shades.

They are made to fit most people comfortably and the special light weight plastic compound gives the glasses strength and comfort. The glasses are finished with top quality coloring and a clear topcoat to add years of life. They are finished with strong industry standard hinges as well. So not only are these glasses fashionable and nice looking, they are made to last as long as standard sunglasses and be as comfortable as designer glasses costing upwards of two hundred dollars. If you’re looking for a fashion accessory that’ll have everyone looking and wondering “where did you get those?” these are it.
