In the first part of our guide to exotic, different and creative glasses, we talked about a very original concept, which was wearing sunglasses with wooden frames. If that look is very appropriate to wear when you want to get in touch with nature and with the natural side of the world, today we want to showcase a few pieces that are just the right thing when you are channeling your inner superhero and want to make a big impression in a very short time.
Glasses, regardless if they are used for vision enhancement, style or protection against the sun, are strongly associated with your personality with the way others perceive you. This is because glasses are the closest piece of something you put on to your eyes. When somebody is making eye contact with you, even if you are wearing dark sunglasses, that is the place they focus on.

Using fashion and accessories is a very easy way to express who you are without having to spell it out. Being subtle is a form of sophistication and even intelligence. So, if you want to express your futuristic side, you don’t have to dress up in a costume. Sunglasses can express anything: whether it’s nostalgia for a past era or a connection with nature, there’s something for everyone. Futuristic, or “Sci-fi glasses”, as we like to call them, are a particular type of glasses. They are not the Google glasses, but they do speak a lot about the wearer’s personality and interests. Usually, these designs are worn by dynamic people who have a taste for technology and speed.
The story
Parasite Eyewear is a company that creates amazing frames for people who enjoy looking great and have a sweet tooth for the world of science-fiction. Because you can’t dress up in a comic-con outfit all day long, doesn’t mean that you can’t incorporate your taste and vision into your style. What’s great about Parasite Eyewear is not only that they create amazing designs and styles, but that their technology is very sci-fi as well. The Parasite frames are designed in such a way that they do not involve the ears and the nose of the wearer. They simply hold on to the temples and are very comfortable. Because the ears are no longer needed, you are less likely to develop irritations and allergies. These frames are made from modern and advanced materials to provide a great experience.

The reason we gave these frames as such a good example is because they are very essence of how one can incorporate his preferences, style and vision into his clothes. It’s not only the design that counts, but also the way it is made and the technology that incorporate a whole world view.
The design
To help you express your inner intergalactic time traveler, we want to give you some guidelines on how to identify the design traits of a piece that will help you express what it is you want to convey, without being too obvious.
The Halo 3
The first things you need to look at are the shapes and the lines. To say “sci-fi”, you can wear accessories that have really bold, clear, sharp lines. The reason why these types of lines express these things is because they are not found in nature and are clearly the result of a human cognitive process.
Secondly, the colors are also very important. To express the fact that you enjoy a good adventure which involves a lot of tech-savvy people, you can wear colors that are very strong and which don’t seem to come from our natural world. These colors can be shiny or matte, it’s up to you to decide.

Another thing you can use is references. You can show that you are a fan of the latest Spiderman movie by incorporating his colors into your wardrobe. This way, you will send a message to all the other insiders, and induce a subconscious one to those who are not familiar with your universe, without being too forward with your message. Try to associate the colors you are wearing with the message you want to convey: warmer colors, such as orange or red express dynamism and movement, while darker colors, such as purple and violet induce a state of mystery and dream.
Matching your frames to your clothes
Any man must know that the accessories you are wearing need to be in tandem with his clothes. Since sci-fi frames are so special and bold, you can’t wear them with formal clothes, and we would not even recommend that you wear them with a suit. Other than that, you can wear them with any type of casual outfit. Since wearing very powerful frames has such a strong visual impact, you might want to tone down your other accessories: bracelets, earrings, etc. These frames are perfect to be worn on the beach for example as they are a clear statement about who you are and what you are interested in. Basically, these glasses are great for any casual environment where you want to make a bold statement about who you are in a very short time, these include clubs, concerts, etc.Of course that your accessories should be in the same tone with all your clothes, and to be sure you get the right look, you can use the color wheel.
Futuristic frames are a great way to make fashion statement and to express your dynamic and strong personality through one single piece.
