There is no age group for sunglasses; everyone from the smallest child to the oldest adult can enjoy wearing sunglasses. Finding a style that's right for you depends on what activity you will be doing while wearing the sunglasses.. For example, you would want one type for driving, or a walk on the beach, something that may reflect your personality and the way others see you. On the other hand you would want a more appropriate type for boating or skiing, something that won't fly off while you are having fun.
