Nothing says summer better than flip-flops, tank tops, shorts, the beach and a pair of tar-dripping sunglasses. There's no wow factor with regular eyewear and just about everyone from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé is sporting over-the-top sunglasses.
Whether they're super spiky or have tassels, these freakish over-the-top sunglasses deliver jaw-dropping awesomeness.
Implications - Celebrity entertainers like Beyonce and Lady Gaga frequently wear avant-garde fashion on stage and during press events; accordingly, fans and fashionistas alike have added these unusual, one-of-a-kind accessories to their everyday or special-occasion outfits. Companies can take advantage of this opportunity by creating futuristic accessories inspired by science fiction and pop culture that defy their conventional counterparts.
