Trend Watch: Retro Sunglasses
Not so fun fact: In the US, every 14 minutes someone loses, breaks, or sits on a pair of sunglasses. With that kind of clumsy behavior, it’s no wonder we cycle through sunglasses (and sunglass trends) every 5 minutes.
This heartbeat the gotta-have-it look of the moment is all about retro glasses. Think rainbow hues with a gradient lens or throwback to the first sunglasses of the 30’s with round lenses and simple frame (made popular by the old Hollywood screen stars). Still not jazzy enough for you? Channel Elton John and his kooky looks – the icon is rumored to have more than 1,000 pairs in his collection.
