Fashionable Mention: Fenty Centerfold Sunglasses -The Fall Season Sunnies

Arianne September 13, 2019September 13, 2019

The thing about fashion is that it stands still for no man or woman. Trends are flying in and out faster than an international airport. However, that is also the beauty of couture. Since it is always evolving; you can update or morph your personal style to fit whatever mood or season you are vibing. For instance, fashion accessories that work in the summer may need a little adjustment come autumn. Which is why we endorse the Fenty Centerfold Sunglasses; an ode to futuristic and modern voguish style.

Fashionable Mention: Fenty Centerfold Sunglasses -The Fall Season Sunnies

How Sway… these sunglasses by Rihanna are a great because they are not the typical design. Forget cat-eye, aviators or round frames. These babies are more architectural. Making them more edgy, fierce and bolder than the norm.

This type of style is perfect for fall because looks tend to need a tad boost here or there; due to not having the boisterous colors/prints of summer and spring. Plus, glitzy fashion that is popular towards the end of the year needs accessories that possess just as much “POP.” If you are wearing a statement outfit your accessories need to fall in line too.

Therefore, if you are the type that loves to stand out from the crowd these sunglasses will definitely work for your fashion prowess. Plus, they are great for travel since they are not bulky. The “slim” and sleek design allows them to fold up COMPLETELY flat. Check it out below to see what we mean:

Fashionable Mention: Centerfold Sunglasses

Pretty neat right? Well, the Fenty brand has a little more to stay about this accessory. In regards to the Centerfold Sunglasses the brand states,

“A play of light for the eyes. A play of folds for the hands. The Centerfold, in Black Smoke and Denim Blue.

Light yet strong. Bold but elusive. The Centerfold is a laser cut eye mask that covers the face when worn and completely folds flat when not.”

One other feature to note about these Fenty Sunglasses is the category lense rating. These spectacles come with a category 2 rating. Meaning? That rating that shows that the sunnies will provide a medium level of sun glare reduction and good UV protection.

Category 2 lenses are the most common category you will find in sunglasses sold in fashion. They are manufactured for general use and they provide good protection from visible light as well as UV rays. So if protecting your eyes is just as important as style to you then you will not need to worry thanks to the choice of lense for the Fenty Centerfold.

To quickly illustrate, Rihanna brought back her famous Creepers shoes. The first time around the popular shoe sold out of minutes. Since then, RiRi fans have begged and pleaded for the shoe design to come back into the fashion picture. Rihanna finally answered the style call and brought back the shoe in three new colors. The result? The kicks sold out in 30 minutes… again.

With that type of influence and power fashion houses and brands continue to line up for the chance to collaborate the chic mogul. With that being said it no wonder that Dior decided to work with Rihanna once again.

It looks like the Rihanna x Dior partnership has only blossomed over time and we are completely excited for their upcoming release!

Do you love accessories as much as bees love their honey? Girl so do we and we loved what we spotted coming down the catwalk during the fall/winter Giambattista Valli 2015-2016 runway show.

The stunner shades models wore gave a brand new meaning to the expression, “Go big or go home.” Models were adorned with sunglasses that seemed to take up 70% of their faces. We didn’t mind the ginormous size because some of the fashions modeled had a floral theme. So then, to us it was like the bumble bee meeting up with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

Arianne Suggs May 13, 2015May 13, 2015Leave a Comment

The heat is about to be on but we are sure your bae is going to want to stay looking cool at all costs. Accessories play a major part in keeping his style modern and as fresh as his line-up. Not all men are into necklaces or wrist bands, but a fashionable hat or shades could be a happy compromise.

Shades and hats are able to protect his eyes as well as skin from the sun and being the great woman in his life that you are, you can rest easy knowing your boo is well protected. Besides being protective such accessories really help pull a summer look together. Even the most relaxed styles receive an extra shot of charisma and flair. Don’t believe us? Just think of Tom Cruise in Top Gun or Will Smith pimping towards the President after defeating a nation of aliens in a pair of sunglasses. Or would MJ have been as much as a Smooth Criminal without his fedora? Probably, but still the proof is in the pudding, accessories easily enhance any ensemble.
