When it comes to creating an innovative pair of designer sunglasses then you know you can't go far past the Tom Ford brand. A fashion-forward approach is the key idea behind the Tom Ford style of thinking and combining comfort with class is one of the qualities that the designer does best. A key example of this is through one of his latest designs, the "Rickie", which encapsulates everything that we would associate with the modern woman.

Designed to give a connected and flowing feeling through the frame design, the delicate metal arms are wrapped around each other and crossed in the centre, just above the nose. The colours on the frame provide a good contrast as the inlay of the metal frame is a different colour to the outline and gives a good two-toned appearance to the design.

The cross over bridge gives added comfort to the wearer as it negates the need for metal bars to be placed above the nose. These metal bars have been replaced by a slim line, curved design which features two small nose pads which help to provide a good fit to the wearer.

The Tom Ford Rickie TF179 is a classic pair of oversized sunglasses and as such, offers a great range of sun protection to the wearer. Oversized sunglasses generally garner better sun protection than a regular pair of sunglasses due to the fact that they cover not only the key eye area, but also the delicate soft tissue that surrounds the eye and can frequently be burnt as the result of a lack of sunscreen.

UVA, UVB and blue light rays provide 100% UV protection to the wearer and prevent any rays that try to pass through the lenses from damaging the wearer's eye. They also adapt easily to the changing light through the gradient style of the lenses, so they can be worn in almost any situation and lighting conditions.
