Fossil Sunglasses

The History of Fossil

Fossil started up in 1984, stepping into the world of watches first. It's an American company that works to bring "vintage" and "cool" together. The company did well with its watches and expanded into other accessories—including sunglasses—during the early 1990s. Since then, they've been a popular brand in modern classic styles and great value.

What Fossil Sunglasses Have to Offer

Fossil sunglasses manage to embrace the trends without going too over the top. What's in style today may manifest in a pair of Fossils, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to wear them next year. That's a portion of the beauty of classic styles like those from Fossil's line.

In addition, you get the following perks:

• 100 percent UVA and UVB protection
• A limited one-year warranty
• Durability in the form of flexible hinges on select styles
• Polycarbonate lenses for impact resistance
• Very affordable prices—plenty of styles are roughly $40.00

Favorite Styles

Here are a few absolutely stunning Fossil sunglass styles:

For Men

Shake: This is a sleek, wraparound style that comes in black or silver. These are for the sporty males out there who love to call attention to their eyewear.

Sahara: This one is a traditional aviator style, a flattering style on most face shapes. They have a gold frame and dark green lenses. Guys who really embrace the classics will love these.

'Gary: These are simple and masculine, and they're available in two color combinations: Shiny gunmetal frames with smoke lenses and satin silver frames with smoke lenses. The angular shape of this style will flatter most men's faces.

For Women

Phyllis: Who doesn’t like red? How about yellow? This style comes in a big, bold style available with a red, yellow, or brown frame, with smoke, dark smoke, and brown lenses, respectively.

Lorilee: These have a wraparound style, but their appeal comes from the frame and lens choices: Grey/clear fade with smoke gradient lenses, white/clear fade frames with ghost lenses, shiny silver frame with ghost lenses, and brown/tan fade frame with brown gradient lenses.

The flexible hinges give these sunglasses additional durability, and they're available in the following color combinations: shiny black frame with smoke gradient lenses, black-clear fade frames with smoke gradient lenses, brown-tan fade with brown gradient lenses, shiny tortoise frame with brown gradient lenses, and red frames with smoke gradient lenses.
