But, while they have always been popular, thare have also been times when they were considered to be Lnfashionable by expert fashion watchers’. No, the only fashion item that has always been cool to wear since the start of the twentieth cencury is... a pair of sunglasses, or ‘shades. So where did these remarkable things come from? Back ln 60 ce the Roman emperor Nero was reported to enjoy watching fighting in the Colosseum through clear green stones to reduce strong light from the sun. Such luxuries were not for everyone, of course. fe wasn't until nearly two thousand years later that coloured glasses became cheap and available to the general public. ‘One of the things that led them to become such desirable fashion items was thelr populariy with American film stars Inthe early 1900s. Ic s commonly bollaved that this was to avold being recognised by fans. Howevar, an alternative ‘explanation is that fm actors often had red eyes in those days, because of the high-powered lamps that were used in film studios. Whatever the reason, when businessman Sam Foster began selling inexpensive, mass-produced sunglasses in 1929, he found a ready market. Nowadays they are big business, with hundreds (of different brands to choose from. Infact, the industry generates 34 billion dollas per year in sales.

Sunglasses have even played minor roles inflms In the 1999 scifi thriller The Matrix, starring Keanu Reeves,all the good characters wore round shades, and the bad guys all wore rectangular ‘But what isthe real reason for their continuing popularity? Is it simply the fact that the general public have a strong, desire to copy the rich and famous? The truth of the matter is, people wear them for various reasons: comfort and clear vision in bright sunlight, protection against the. dangerous rays from the sun, to avoid eye contact with thers, or even to hide their emotions All of these are reasonable excuses for putting on the dark shades.
