Neon Shutter Sunglasses – The Comeback

Raiding your mother’s closet can very well be compared to treasure hunting. Sometimes in its very depth, hidden under scarves and well-worn shirts, are the very fashionable skinny jeans and the very much coveted wedge-heeled shoes. Fashion always comes back after a decade or so, with very minimal changes.

Like the very retro leg warmers, skinny jeans and neon clothing, the neon shutter sunglasses were very popular during the 80s. Though the more popular ones during those days were the big bold neon glasses without the shutters, but the theme definitely belongs to the era.

Kanye West’s music video for his song, Stronger, started it all. He had a specially made white shutter glasses for his video. Then Paris Hilton started to wear one. Until, the craze has spread to include different colors and neon ones.

The neon sunglasses have become a must-have bling bling in the hip-hop fashion. Paired baggy pants, it certainly completes the hip-hip jewelry.

Yet, like any fashion statement, the neon shutters are not for all. Some may look quite ridiculous wearing them. One has to completely go for the Kanye West look or the retro 80s in order to pull the look off.

The shutter glasses started to sell in eBay and amazon for fifty dollars each ($50.00). Right now, manufacturers are selling it for as low as four dollars ($4.00). Though,second hand ones are already available in some places at even cheaper prices. It has become popular world wide especially amongst teenagers.

The neon sunglasses have started to evolve. A few details have been added to enhance the style. For some, it comes in the form of diamond studs. The original, full shuttered design worn by Kanye has half-shuttered variations. Some manufacturers have even come up with diagonal slates for the shutters. For the more electronically involved people, they have added flashes to the glasses emitting from small batteries attached to the glasses. The frames are continuously evolving too.

The era of the neon shutter glasses has indeed come back and took the world by storm again. Take the time to take out your parents’ treasure chest. Maybe you will not have to buy one online.
