The best part about retro-style sunnies: They never get old.
Pairing wraparound plastic shades with sophisticated, made-for-everyday separates in sorbet hues, Bottega Veneta proves that the sporty sunglasses style – popular in the ’90s (and, yes, with Guy Fieri) – can be effortlessly chic.
At Bottega Veneta, a Guy Fieri-esque wraparound pair is used to accent an effortless tee-and-jeans combo. Over at vintage-obsessed Gucci? XL granny shades, of course. You’ve got to admit it: The beauty of retro-style sunnies is that it’s hard to decide when they’re meant to be trendy or are just plain classic.
With bold and angular acetate rims in unexpected colours like red and white, Givenchy’s unisex aviators are an elevated take on ’80s eyewear without dialling down the fun.
Trust the pan-decade Gucci to remind us of the enduring, looks-fashionable-with-just-about-anything appeal of ’70s-style oversized granny shades.
In the ’80s, Tom Cruise immortalised wayfarers as being cool. Now Gentle Monster has its own version dubbed The Dreamer; its upsized frame and clean lines double the style’s charisma and versatility.
