Today is Sunglasses Day! Summer is also in full swing, so what better
way to celebrate than to rock our sunglasses for an entire day? Here's
a little history on how sunglasses came about.
In prehistoric times, the Inuit peoples wore the first pair of shades
when they wore flattened walrus ivory "glasses", looking through
narrow slits to block harmful sun rays. By the turn of the 20th
century, silent movie actors wore them while filming to shield their
eyes from bright stage lights. Then in 1929, entrepreneur Sam Foster
mass-produced the modern version.
So, enjoy today and don't forget to wear your favorite pair of
sunglasses!
