October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so we’re thinking pink. Pink glasses frames, that is!

Millennial pink has been a standout trend from the fashion crowds to the interior design world in the past few years. Boasting the perfect neutral pastel, pink tinted glasses are now trending in the eyewear world as well.

So what is “millennial pink?”

It is described as not quite bubble gum pink, yet somewhere between a grapefruit and salmon color. With this universally flattering shade, it’s a great trend to adopt if you’re looking to try something new—whether you are looking for an understated accessory or a focal point to your look.

Aviator sunglasses debuted in 1937 but gained notoriety five years later when General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beach in the Philippines.

A photo of the MacArthur wearing the aviator-style shades was splashed across the front page of newspapers everywhere. It became the go-to “wartime” look for Hollywood productions.

A little aviator history…

Bausch & Lomb was originally asked by the U.S. Army Air Corps to design sunglasses for pilots to prevent sun glare because they found it often caused nausea and headaches.

You ordered and paid for name brand eyeglasses or sunglasses. How can you be sure they’re authentic?

Given how often eyeglasses and sunglasses purported to be name brands are actually knockoffs, you’ll want to know how to spot the fakes.

Let’s start with how the glasses are described.

Some sellers are “sneaky honest” in the way they describe the item. Look to sniff-out such tactics when descriptions say “inspired by [brand name]” or the like. For sure, don’t let the word “replica” slip past you. Also, look for misspellings, perhaps subtle ones: Pradda, or Guci, for instance.
