Retro Sunglasses

by on August 29, 2007

Finally, I’ve decided to write a post specifically on sunglasses. More specifically, (you guessed it) retro and futurist sunglasses. Sunglasses became popular in the 1950s, as they became very widespread and people began to wear them as fashion accessories. Designers from this era began to play with shape and decoration, creating some dramatic looks.

*BOO*! These ones, for instance, give the wearer quite the look. Retro sunglasses often feature big lenses, interesting frames, or funky colours. Here’s another pair I really like – Nice use of colour. Personally, I like bigger sunglasses on girls, and more face-fitted ones on guys. This helps men keep their faces looking chiselled, while ladies in dramatic cat-eye glasses can widen and brighten their eyes (presuming the lenses are somewhat translucent).I think that both pairs would go really well with a retro, modernist, or futurist look. They would definitely spice things up a bit… They look like fun to wear. As of now, I’m cutting this post short – I’m quite tired. More to follow, tomorrow. Over and out!

-FH.
