Break out your coolest shades, and make your summer holidays an effortlessly stylish one with a major blast from the past
What do tube tops, dad sneakers and tinted sunnies have in common? They were all iconic staples of the ‘90s and if you thought you’d never have to revisit these retro flashbacks… well, we’ve got news for you.
The likes of Rihanna, Gigi Hadid and our guilty pleasure, The Kardashians, have all been spotted with variations of ‘90s-inspired eyewear, making this trend the hottest one to hit our social feeds. If you’ve got a summer vacation lined up, here’s your chance make this retro flashback part of your holiday ensemble.
Micro sunglasses
The micro sunglasses trend is back – with Vogue and Gigi Hadid leading the way at Sunglass Hut. These 90’s inspired shades are perfect for levelling up your style game… Oh, and killer cheekbones are optional.
Wear it with… Vintage band T-shirts, cropped tops or even a simple white tee, paired with distressed jeans for an extra dose of the ‘90s.
Tinted shades
The fashion gods have resurrected tinted shades in yellow, vermillion and even magenta – so you’d better up your brow game for this one. For those who are none too bold, these classy hexagonal Ray-Ban sunglasses are the perfect accessory to ease into the trend. The drama is in the details!
Wear it with… Your most fabulous pair of statement earrings and a breezy, off-shoulder dress.
Round frames
No Insta-worthy jaunt to Coachella is complete without paying homage to the festival-goers of the ‘60s and ‘70s. These vintage styles may imbue iconic rockers like Ozzy Osbourne and John Lennon, but they are an irrepressible part of the nineties – think young Natalie Portman in Leon: The Professional or Demi Moore in GI Jane.
Wear it with… They go with anything, really (which is why we love them).
Visors
Want some solid protection from the sun? You’ve got it with these extra large, extra sporty Oakley visors that come with a futuristic twist. Gone are the cheesy wraparounds with fluorescent plastic frames, this 2018 upgrade (equipped with high definition, mono-lens) is effortlessly sleek.
Wear it with… We admit: they can be a little hard to pull off, which is why you should keep to a neutral palette.
