Vintage is making a come back. Again. And sunglasses are part of the trend. This time, it’s not just about finding beautiful, wearable pieces from the 50s, 60s, 70s or even the 80s. It’s also about finding the shapes and ideas that evoke an earlier era. Nostalgia definitely has a place in this autumn’s look-book.
I like what our friend Emilie Smith did with her Polaroid sunglasses. The monochrome vibe with a berét and beautifully detailed necklace creates a perfect balance between elaborate and simple. What makes the look vintage is the shape of the Jackie O sunglasses, it just says late sixties, coiffured hair and cool lines. This is the perfect trend for Polaroid. We’ve been around since the thirties and some of the most iconic styles from the 5Os through to the 60s were down to the Cool-Ray brand. If you appreciate a bit of mod colour, Cool-Ray definitely led the pack.
Sunglasses can go a long way to giving an outfit that little bit of extra style. Our young photographer, Amy Hardy recently took some friends out to experiment with vintage looks. Which ones do you think work best
