Kris Smith goes Back to the 80’s in Carrera designer sunglasses
Kris Smith, Dannii Minogue’s boyfriend and, by all accounts, soon-to-be husband, was pictured in the August 23rd edition of New magazine sporting a pair of elegant Carrera designer sunglasses.
Sporting is the right word – Carrera was originally developed for motor racing, and the Carrera Back 80’s-5 sunglasses that rugby player Kris wore in August were the same ones he wore back in March, when he accompanied then-pregnant Dannii to the Australian Grand Prix. Since then, the couple have become proud parents to baby Ethan. Dannii has old-fashioned values about parenthood – hence her suggestion that a wedding might be next on the cards.
Kris has a typically male approach to his sunglasses. Whereas women will often flit between designers depending on their mood and outfit, their men tend to find one style and stick to it. The Carrera designer sunglasses that have found favour with Dannii’s boyfriend boast sporty Aviator looks, rugged styling and the bonus of being available as prescription sunglasses. Carrera Back 80’s are well named, with a distinct 1980s look epitomised by wire frames. The metallic temple arms offer comfort with adjustability, while the generous teardrop contours and acrylic bridge ensure they will look just as good on Dannii as her partner.
Carrera designer sunglasses are renowned for their sporty looks. However, there is also a range of chic, retro feminine styles, without a hint of racing about them – unless you count hanging on to the arm of one of the drivers, in the winner’s enclosure at Le Mans. Carrera’s Hippy, Hot and Aster designs come in a range of colours, offering chic, retro Continental styling at very affordable prices.
