Weard Sunglasses

Most sunglasses are quite boring and predictable. One needs a fair amount of coolness and selfconfidence to even consider putting on a pair of brightly colored  or oddly shaped sunglasses.

Kimi Raikkonen
The Ice Man is the epithomy of cool. He barely speaks but when he does, every sentence counts as much as ten tweets from Lewis Hamilton. Only that Kimi usually does not share sensitive team information with the press, only ice creams.


The Finn wears the golden Lotus sunglasses with such an ease that somehow he manages not to look like an alien with them. And yes, they are paired with an angry birds hat hear. Part of the perks of being considered "wacky" is that everybody expects the unexpected from Kimi.

Ricky Berens
The Olympic swimmer Ricky Berens is a big Longhorns fan. As such not only does he have a specially themed tattoo but he is also frequently pictured wearing the signature colors of the Longhorns.

I guess winning two Olympic Golds alongside Olympic legends Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte qualifies Ricky not to look crazy even in orange sunglasses. But let's not forget that besides several World and Olympic titles, Mr. Berens sports one of the most charming professional athlete smiles. My advice - if you are a man and want to look adorable even in weardly colored eyeglassess (say for Koninginnedag), just find Ricky's dentist. The guy certainly knows how to make a smile shine.

Sebastian Vettel
Vettel's sunglasses are not weardly colored, they are just weard, full stop. The German could be seens wearing a pair of these even before winning his first world title. In many respects Vettel is still a child, so I will not write off similar experiments in the future.
