The story behind Japanese sunglasses: From necessity to high-end fashion statement

When sunglasses first were used in Japan, they were used by workers on the field to protect their eyes from the harsh sunlight. Consequently, sunglasses had a repertoire of something belonging to lower-class people. However, with optical brands like Eyevan and Masunaga emerging, the tradition of Japanese sunglasses changed. Instead of being merely a necessity, sunglasses quickly became a fashion statement and in the 21st century, they are used as vital expressions of style!
