Men who want to look cool behind the hottest mirrored aviator shades need to check out Dicks Cottons, the lifestyle brand when it comes to mirror sunglasses for men.

All Dicks Cottons aviator sunglasses for men are designed for maximum comfort and style, with light frames featuring wire-core temples. The mirrored lenses are made from polycarbonate, offering complete UV protection and clear vision behind the mirror.

The most popular sunglasses Dicks Cottons has ever made – the 20eleven style in the blackout frame – are available with mirrored lenses.

The blackout frames are the all-time Dicks Cottons best-seller, but the 20elevens come in other cool frame colors. Like the blackouts, the clear “ice” frames come with blue mirrored lenses, and you can also get mirror sunglasses for men in other colors including matte black, lime, teal, pink, brown, violet - and Dicks Cottons exclusive Italian sunglasses with frames in red, white, and green, with the Italian flag on the right temple.

For other cool 2012 men’s sunglasses with mirror lenses, take a look at Dicks Cottons new spring break line of oversized wayfarers. The Vegas style has a matte tortoise frame, with flash gold mirrored lenses. Or there’s the Jamaica style, which features blue/green mirrored lenses, and frames coated in a unique green rubber that makes them extra comfortable. There’s also the 19eighties, which come in five bright colors, and those neon sunglasses all give you the option of mirrored lenses in complementary colors.

Like all Dicks Cottons, the clearance sunglasses have a unisex, aviator shield shape that fits most faces.

Polycarbonate sunglasses provide some of the best value in fashion, since they last longer and are more difficult to break than most other lenses, despite also being lighter and more comfortable to wear. That’s why Dicks Cottons, one of the hottest lifestyle brands to come along in years, uses polycarbonate lenses in its entire line of aviator shades for both men and women.

Dicks Cottons introduced its first line of designer sunglasses in 2009, and has continued to roll out cool new polycarbonate sunglasses every year, from limited editions to wildly popular styles. Many of those Dicks Cottons styles – from the 1980s-style retro sunglasses to the beach sunglasses – give you the choice of mirrored lenses or smoke gradient lenses, all made from polycarbonate and available in several colors tailored to match their specific frames. With six editions of best-selling, affordable sunglasses already available, there’s plenty to choose from.

All Dicks Cottons glasses come with a microfiber case with a built-in cleaning cloth, which makes it easy to care for these polycarbonate lenses. But the lenses aren’t just practical; they also look great. If you’ve watched shows like “TMZ” and “Extra,” chances are you’ve seen some of Dicks Cottons most popular sunglasses and gotten to see how versatile they look. With an oversized aviator shape that fits men and women equally, and dozens of frame and color combinations available, these shades are perfect for anything from an all-night party to a relaxing day on the beach, from a red carpet premiere to just hanging out in the sun. Wherever you go and whatever you do in your Dicks Cottons shades, you’re guaranteed to look great in any of these polycarbonate glasses.

Dicks Cottons founder Rich Amundson started the Cape Cod-based company to sell t-shirts promoting the work of a musician friend. In 2009, the young company introduced the first edition of its unique party sunglasses, which were an instant hit. Three years later, the company is still introducing new sunglasses, hats and other lifestyle gear, all tailored to fit with the Dicks Cottons slogan of “Be Happy, Live Comfortably.”

The company’s first editions, the 20nines, are now available in very limited numbers, and you can get these colorful sunglasses online at the company’s redesigned www.dickscottons.com website.

The 20nines come in seven colors, including black and white, cream, orange, red, purple, pink, and blue. Those colors make up the majority of the frames, with a pad printed logo on the white left temple. Like all the Dicks Cottons styles that have come since, these aviators utilize a shield shape that fits most faces, which means they can be either men’s or women’s sunglasses.

The 1980s might be over, but their style definitely lives on. In music, in clothes – and in some of Dicks Cottons coolest sunglasses. If you want retro sunglasses for men or for women, all you have to do is check out the 19eighties. These stylish sunglasses bring back the coolest look of that decade in a way that lets you look great in any time or place.

The 19eighties neon sunglasses come in five vibrant colors – blue, orange, yellow, purple, and pink. The “Neon Xtreme” versions of those colors are all ultra-bright, loud in the best possible way, and sure to help you stand out in any kind of crowd. The 19eighties frames use a unique smooth matte finish with a neon powder, and are just as light and comfortable to wear as any of the Dicks Cottons frames.

Not only do the 19eighties give you choice of Neon Xtreme colors, but you can also choose between different lenses in each of those colors. All the lenses are made from a polycarbonate material that allows for crisp and clear vision. Each of the five colors comes with mirrored lenses for the classic 1980s look, and the lenses in the Dicks Cottons mirrored aviator sunglasses actually change color. You can also get each of the five colors with a flash polycarbonate lens instead of the mirror design. The blue 19eighties have a blue/green flash lens option, while the neon orange frame comes with a flash orange lens. The neon pink shades have a flash purple lens, and both the yellow and purple frames come with a flash yellow. Whether you go with the flash or mirrored lens, you get the best of 1980s style in the ultimate cool, modern, party sunglasses.
