Chris Pedersen's Favourite Black

Black Shades - the bigger the better...!

Nothing frames a face more than a pair of big black sunglasses. James Dean loved his Ray Bans, Audrey Hepburn wore them in Breakfast at Tiffany's, Woody Allen is never seen without his distinctive horn glasses and nothing could keep Madonna from her black sunglasses in the eighties and nineties.

I've have a bit of a collection including black glasses from YSL and even though I sometimes get tired of being called 'the bald guy with the big black glasses', I always end up wearing a pair as I head out of the door. They make me feel safe in a cool black way.
