It was three years ago, 3rd of November, when shutter shades were officially born. It was born in LA, specifically in Club Mood Hollywood. These new type of sunglasses are reincarnation and a product of the 80’s fashion. But it was Kanye West in his video “Stronger” where it was first seen.

Shutter shades have revolutionized the way sunglasses are designed and worn. There were a lot of skeptics who said that shutter shades will only last for a few months, but gladly, it is now three years old and still growing; and quite frankly stealing the hearts of those who are sunglasses enthusiasts.
A lot of shutter shades designs have come out and a lot of celebrities are now wearing them. Get them on half shutter, just bottom or upper shutter. The colors and designs are also very flexible. There are also different shapes and sizes. You can also get the Glow in the Dark shutters good for partying at night.
The debate on whether these different kinds of sunglasses are for everyone is endless. Well, shutter shades are marketed and advertised to be worn by anyone. And since you will seldom see famous celebrities wearing them like Paris Hilton, Ashley Simpson and many others, people tend to emulate these artist wearing shutter shades.
These new sunglasses were originally just made up of frames with horizontal shutters and initially they are just worn as accessories. People use them on clubbing, because there are designs that are glow in the dark; women use it as headbands to hold their hair. But now a lot of them actually have lenses, which functions as regular sunglasses. This is the reason why more are using Shutter shades now as sunglasses.
But others still think some people who wear shutter shades don’t look good or cool. There are even celebrities who gave up wearing them because their critics say they looked ridiculously horrible in them. Still some folks think that they can look okay if you don’t wear these sunglasses all the time and that it is only appropriate for some specific parties and events.
Dressing up with shutter shades is actually advised if you feel you want to try something different. But wear it not to impress or don’t try it just because you want to “belong”; wear it for yourself and see if this works for you or if you feel you can pull it off. But if you are going somewhere or doing something that requires the much needed protection for your eyes from UV Rays, like the beach; then you are better off with the regular sunglasses.
Personally, like any other clothes, shoes, bags, sunglasses and any articles of fashion, as long as you can wear them on proper occasions and wear them with confidence; then it is okay and you will look hot on it. If you decide that wearing shutter shades is something that defines your fashion sense and statement, then by all means show it off and have fun with it.
