# Country-Shaped Shades The USA Sunglasses by Jeremy Scott are Flamboyant and Patriotic By Meghan Young | Published 2012-04-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usa-sunglasses References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5900744/ridiculous-200-america-sunglasses-wear-the-usa-on-your-face) & [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00722RHF0/downandoutint-20?tag=trenhunt0f-20) Although not as ludicrous as the [shutter sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinzo-tamura) made famous by Kanye West, the USA Sunglasses are still very strange; patriotically strange, but strange nonetheless. At least the USA Sunglasses don't obstruct a person's vision. Instead, this design takes on the distinct shape of the United States' landmass. Conceived by American fashion designer Jeremy Scott for [Linda Farrow Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenseea), the unisex USA Sunglasses effectively cover half of the wearer's face while leaving one eye bared to the blinding light of the sun. As far as [statement-making shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear) go, these ones will not only make a person stand out for their unique style, but also for the obvious love they hold for the United States of America. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Statement-making Sunglasses:** There is an opportunity to create unique and eye-catching sunglasses designs that make a bold fashion statement. - **Patriotic Fashion Accessories:** There is a potential market for fashion accessories that embrace a sense of patriotism and national pride. - **Unconventional Eyewear Shapes:** There is a space for sunglasses with unconventional shapes that go beyond traditional styles. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore creating unique sunglasses designs that make a fashion statement and embrace patriotism. - **Accessories:** The accessories industry can tap into the market for patriotic fashion accessories and unique eyewear designs. - **Eyewear:** Eyewear brands can experiment with unconventional shapes in sunglasses design, creating unique and attention-grabbing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tactical Titanium-Made Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westy-king-sunglasses.md) - [Bubble-Like Sunglasses Drop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-sunglasses.md) - [70s-Style Sport Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunski-strada.md) - [QSR Eyewear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-x-shady-rays.md) - [Stunning 3D-Printed Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-sunglasses1.md) - [Bold Artful Summer-Ready Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asociety.md) - [Chic Statement Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specsavers-eyewear.md) - [Streetwear-Informed Sleek Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stssy-eyegear-1.md) - [Laidback Fashion Brand Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-sunglasses.md)
