MIRRORED LENSES are a flashy trend that are bound to stick around for a while .
EyeFocus recently got the inside scoop about what inspired people to get reflective this year when it comes to eyewear .
We asked a man who knows all about fashion , Eric Blanchette , SVP at Safilo Group .
“ Mirrored lenses can make the wearer feel more youthful , sporty or fashion-forward ,” he says .
“ Men and women shouldn ’ t be afraid to mix patterns , textures or colour pops when throwing on a pair of mirrored lenses as they provide added dimension
to an overall look and look great when paired with stylish winter clothing and outerwear .”
Thinking about fashion is essential of course , but what about function ?
Centennial ’ s Rick Leroux says each colour of polarized lens has a purpose .
“ Blue and green provide extra glare protection and clear vision ,” explains Leroux . “ Brown and copper can provide better contrast and visual acuity for driving ; rose-coloured lenses can provide high-contrast vision for mountain activities ; grey and silver are well suited for everyday outdoor activities .”
