# Marvelous Mid-Priced Sunnies The Paul Frank Sunglasses are Stylishly Affordable and Playful By Meghan Young | Published 2011-08-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-frank-sunglasses References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/paul-frank-s-sunnies-might-be-made-just-for-us-clumsy-fashion-folks) & [paulfrank](http://www.paulfrank.com/) If the price of these Paul Frank Sunglasses doesn't win you over, then the styles surely will; if somehow that doesn't even seal the deal (which seems highly implausible), the playful names of these marvelous, mid-priced sunnies will definitely do the trick. For instance, they are dubbed titles like 'A Sacrifice To Sophistication' to 'My Excuse to Travel,' which provide a sense of whimsy to these otherwise [classic frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frances-valentine-x-caddis-eyewear). In fact, the names of the Paul Frank Sunglasses will most like inspire your choice. If you want to be considered learned, you will probably go for the [retro-inspired glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reformation-x-jimmy-fairly) called 'Instant Intellectual' or if you are simply looking for some help, you would probably choose the simple yet stylish 'SOS' frame. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Affordable Sunglasses:** The trend of affordable sunglasses is disrupting the eyewear industry by providing stylish options at a lower price point. - **Playful Branding:** The trend of using playful and whimsical names for sunglasses is creating disruption in the eyewear industry by adding a sense of fun and uniqueness to classic frames. - **Retro-inspired Eyewear:** The trend of retro-inspired glasses is disrupting the eyewear industry by offering a nostalgic and trendy option for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Eyewear:** The eyewear industry has the opportunity for disruptive innovation through the development of more affordable and playfully branded sunglasses. - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can leverage the trend of retro-inspired eyewear to create unique and stylish accessory options for consumers. - **Retail:** The retail industry can capitalize on the trend of affordable sunglasses by offering a wider range of stylish options at lower price points. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Versatile Eyewear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/framery.md) - [UV-Activated Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goodr-x-cheetos.md) - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [Classic Sporty Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vallon-daytrippers.md) - [Versatile Sunglasses Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-daily-rhythm.md) - [Timeless Statement Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frances-valentine-x-caddis-eyewear.md) - [Bubble-Like Sunglasses Drop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-sunglasses.md) - [Vintage Silhouette Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection.md) - [Affordable Polarized Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-polarized-sunglasses.md)
