sunglasses. They looked cool wearing them. And so it continued on into the eighties when songs like “Sunglasses at Night” and “(The Future’s So Bright) I Gotta Wear Shades” further cemented the idea of sunglasses as manufactured coolness. Sales of higher-end sunglasses, most popularly Ray-Bans, skyrocketed and producers of shades found their own future quite bright.
In the nineties and on into our 21st century, an increasingly health-conscious public has become more aware of the potential benefits of wearing sunglasses, while the economy has often dictated somewhat lower prices. As manufacturers and ophthalmologists work to maximize those health benefits and lower price tags, the sales of sunglasses to people of all ages and income levels continues unabated to this day. Often sold at discount — but always in bulk because of their immense popularity — wholesale sunglasses are among the most popular items both at high-end retailers and as discount deals. That’s not likely to change. Anything that makes you feel so cool while being so comfortable and protecting your eyesight isn’t going away any time soon.
