“Antonio, you've got eBooks on sunglasses. You've done product reviews. I've seen several videos on them.”
“Aren't you beating the dead horse at this point?”
Gents, the answer is NO. While I've talked about men's sunglasses a few times, their contribution to one's image cannot be understated. For that reason, I've done some scientific research to add a new spin on things.
Here it is – 7 ways that sunglasses make you more attractive, backed by science!
- They Add Facial Symmetry
- You Can Hide Your Emotions
- They Set You Apart From The Crowd
- Sunglasses Exude Power
- You Can Stop Crows' Feet
- They Hide Eye Bags
- They Draw Attention To Your Face
1. Sunglasses Add Facial Symmetry
Sadly, none of us have perfectly symmetrical features. Something even more unfortunate? Studies have proven that symmetry is a key factor in physical attraction.
How does a man offset this? Sunglasses.
Research out of Nottingham Trent University suggests this to be the case. Men's sunglasses conceal the subtle differences between the left and right sides of your face – especially around your eyes where the differences are more obvious.
Shades accentuate a more chiseled appearance… while also hiding hangovers, of course.
2. Sunglasses Hide Emotions
Hey, the ladies love mystery, right?
Back in 12th-century China, judges wore flat panes crafted from quartz in order to hide their eyes while interrogating prisoners. This allowed them to form a veneer of impartiality.
Even nowadays, we see that deception in action. Professional poker player Ashley Adams is an advocate for wearing them indoors. Why? Because she believes most tells are found through eye movement.
Using men's sunglasses this way adds to the air of mystery. It draws people to you with an innate desire to figure you out.
But they never will, will they?
3. Sunglasses Set You Apart From Other Men
Historian Vanessa Brown specializes in fashion movements during the 18th and 19th centuries. She suggested that English dandies developed shades in order to be unique. You could liken them to Victorian-era hipsters in that respect.
They built these proto-sunglasses by mounting a circular lens on a metal handle.
Victorian hipsters invented modern men's sunglasses to look cool – it worked.
In her book, Cool Shades, Brown argued that the accessories reinforced an air of “studied detachment.” This apparent stoicism then enhanced their social power.
The moral of the story is that men's sunglasses are proven to set you apart in the best ways. Leverage their power!
4. Men's Sunglasses Have Power
Who do you always see wearing sunglasses?
Secret service agents, military personnel – hell, even lifeguards.
What do they all have in common? Power. Gentlemen, by wearing your favorite shades you are conveying authority to those around you, whether you realize it or not.
Taking advantage of this could give you the edge you need to be taken more seriously.
5. Sunglasses Prevent Wrinkles
Believe it or not, shades aren't just a fashion accessory. They also provide invaluable protection to your skin.
Think about it – a common cause of wrinkles is frequently squinting your eyes, which you probably do in sunny areas. The skin immediately surrounding the eyes is the thinnest and thus the most vulnerable to UV damage. The easiest way to prevent this is simply by slapping on your favorite pair of shades!
When it comes to preserving a youthful appearance, the bigger the sunglasses the better.
6. Sunglasses Hide Eye Bags
This one is fairly self-explanatory, gentlemen, and it works off of point 1 a little bit.
Among the imperfections we're subjected to, eye bags can result from stress and lack of sleep.
There are plenty of creams out there to mitigate eye bags, but they won't work instantly. Shades can be just what you need to conceal them as much as possible while the cream works its magic.
7. Sunglasses Draw Attention To The Face
Men's sunglasses are as effective at showing off as they are for concealing.
Did you finally grow your beard out? Did you get an amazing hair cut? Are you proud of how well your skincare routine worked out?
In cases such as these where you WANT people to see your face, shades can help. As you'd expect, the quality and appearance of your chosen sunglasses go hand-in-hand with complementing the face. The cooler the shades are, the more people will look you in the face.
