Burberry Sunglasses
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
Since Burberry is quite a style icon, Burberry sunglasses are a great way to make a statement. They’re a subtle way to say you have class and care to keep up with the sophisticated trend. You don’t have to wear a designer from head to toe to show your appreciation.
Burberry Sunglasses’ Style
Burberry sunglasses are classic in style with a trendy twist. Colors aren’t too wild—mostly the traditional browns, blacks, ambers and grays. The styles, however, offer big sunglasses which are, quite literally, huge right now. You can get them at Burberry.com in rounded or square shapes. They’re seen on celebrity faces everywhere you turn—if they’re not wearing aviator styles, that is.
The Burberry line likes to pay attention to small details that make their product unique, as the quilted check sunglasses demonstrate. It’s these small details that make the glasses stand out with their understated glamour.
Where to Find Your Next Shades
Burberry sunglasses can be found both online and in stores. Here are a few places known to carry Burberry eyewear:
- Eyesave.com (and boy, do you save. These retail at $160 but start at $89.00 here.)
- Amazon.com, which also offers incredible savings on Burberry sunglasses.
Prices to Expect
With a name comes a price. Burberry sunglasses are of a luxury brand and can cost anywhere between $150 and $300. At discount stores and when shopping for last season’s styles, you may be able to find a deal, but definitely expect to pay designer prices.
Quality and Technology
Burberry sunglasses are known for their exceptional quality through their endurance and their practicality. They’re never so trendy that you need to throw out last year’s pair to avoid looking ridiculed this season. Don’t expect them to fall apart before next season, either. These shades are known for sticking around.
As rooted in practicality and as timeless as they are, though, Burberry sunglasses aren’t stuck in the past. Their designers are always working to come up with new styles, new images and a new you, to inspire you to buy and wear their product with pride.
Other Burberry Products
Burberry sunglasses aren’t all the Burberry line has to offer. Choose from men’s and women’s clothing. Shop for outerwear or swimwear. In addition, they offer a large variety of accessories and fragrances. Choose from handbags, gadget covers, scarves, hats, gloves—the list goes on!
Designer Background
Burberry started up in 1856 England at the hands of Thomas Burberry when he was 21. By 1870, his drive for high quality products had landed him a rather large following. Later, Queen Elizabeth II and HRH the Prince of Wales would become fans as well.
His interest in fine fabrics led him to create his own—garbardine—a “breathable, weatherproof and tearproof fabric” according to the Burberry homepage. That was in 1880. Just fifteen years later, Burberry (now Thomas Burberry & Sons) created what would be tweaked to become the modern trench coat. In 1914, after a few amendments, the trench coat came to life.
What we all recognize so well as a Burberry check came about in the 1920s. It lined trench coats and is still found on perfume bottles, clothing and accessories today.
