It is a clever designer who can encompass a range of sunglasses with a simple
adjective. Just one word, detailing the complete purpose, look and intention.
Fundamentally, these sunglasses are telling us they mean business. And I’ve got
to admit, as I take a closer look at these glasses, its clear the COMPULSIVES
are up for the challenge.
As I glance at the sunglasses, the smooth contours seem to fixate my eyes and gently pull my gaze round the rimless edge. This continued theme is carried by the smooth ‘a-single’ continuous lens which encompasses the face of the sunglasses and provides those voluptuous curves. The hinges have been sculptured from steel to add a subtle highlight, enhancing the interest at the sides of your face as well (and displaying the trademark ‘O’). Apart from looking first-class, the hinges also fulfil important requirements your face demands with movement. COMPULSIVES are conformers of OAKLEYS signature ‘3 point fit,’ which is one of the Oakley ‘commandments’ if you will, that promises that OAKLEY ensures you get the best fit possible. Couple this with the durable, light stress resistant O-MATTER frame stems and you’ve got one comfy fair of sleek sunnies.
Like the 5th Philosophy of Oakley expresses, Oakleys are to be a vision of science and art coming together, and I think is ever present in this range. These aren’t just a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes, they are a statement of design.
PLUTONITE lenses filter out 100% UVA/UVB/UVC and the lens contours given by the COMPULSIVE shape mean the protection is extended to cover the top and sides of your face. Such qualities make these sunglasses perfect for adventure sports such as skiing, boarding and beach volleyball. COMPULSIVE all have IRIDIUM lenses which are prefect for reduced glare and balancing light transmission, just the thing for the coming summer months.
HDO’s? That’s High Definition Optics to the professionals. These are OAKLEYS way of showing off! The total clarity and optical superiority is completely unrivalled. And don’t worry, there is an impact resistance in-case they get knocked off in your adventurous. So if you’re in to your sunglasses, there's no compensating on quality with these.
Ok, so they’re not the absolute height of fashion, but I think you know what your getting with an Oakley by now….and if you don’t, you wont be disappointed with these sporty numbers. Girlie girls need not apply. These aren’t for the faint hearted, more for those independent women who are after the empowered look that says ‘don’t mess with me.’ If you’re a sporty, active girl who know what she wants, these should suit.
Being an Oakley girl, I’m confident you’re not keen on following the norm! So don’t worry girls, you can customise your look with one of the many colour combinations that are offered in this range! For a cool, sleek, go with everything style, you can opt for the Polished Black/Grey (05-352). Or, the Amethyst G40 Black (05-350) gradient offers a unique twist on a classic look. Or if you’re after a flash of colour, the Crystal Berry/Grey (05-353) is for you. Oh yeah, and they come with an exclusive case to keep them pristine too.
Lets recap ‘uncontrolled need to do things,’ ‘obsessive,’ ‘strongly motivated to succeed.’ Sound like you? These sunglasses are compelling you.
Oakley was driven by in irresistible inner force when they created the Compulsive. They wanted a powerfully attractive pair of sunglasses that utilised all of their sporting credentials. It’s yet another frame were Oakley have resisted the temptation to follow other leading fashion brands and have stuck to what they know is best. Practical fashion has never looked so good in the form of the Compulsive. The simplicity of the lens is complimented by the delicate and intricately detailed frame work that makes these sporty looking frames more feminine and fashionable. Sculptural steel highlights the hinges while unobtainium inlays keep the frame comfortably in place.
The mixture of colours these frames come in allows you to play with your style. They come in a very feminine amethyst or in contrast a very trendy polished black. Oakley has designed the Compulsive range to be just as at home on the fashion run way as they are on the running track.
The sensual curves of the Compulsive’s lens and frames are irresistible and so is the square version that is now available. Both squared and original Compulsives feature a continuous lens that filters out 100percent of all ultra violet rays. They also utilise the polaric ellipsoid lens geometry of Oakley’s high definition optics, to ensure you’ll have visual clarity that meets ANSI Z87.1 standards, not to mention impact protection that meets ANSI Z80.3 standards. The entire Oakley range comes with the comfort of a 3 Point Fit, plus the durability and low weight of stress-resistant O Matter frame stems. Premium lenses have been matched with stem colours that complement their hue. The iridium lens option reduces glare and balances light transmission while the gradient lens options offer a varied field of darkness from top to bottom. Whatever lens or frame combination you choose, Oakley’s exclusive women’s eyewear case comes standard.
