What goes around comes around

Vintage is having a revival. The autumn / winter catwalks have been awash with 50’s and 60’s inspired designs, allowing us all to channel our inner Mad Men persona into a sleek pencil skirt, or dashing suit and trilby.

And luckily for those of us who wear glasses, the trend is continuing here too. Designers such as Ray-Ban, Dunhill, Vera Wang and Kookaii are all producing incredibly stylish eyewear – with a number of celebrities working the look too.

50's style

                            

                                    Marilyn Monroe

                            

Katy Perry

The 1950’s are back with these cat eye frames. Katy Perry looks every inch the 50’s starlet in these sunglasses, reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe in ‘How to Marry a Millionaire’. A statement look, these frames are not for the shy and retiring type!

  

                             

Buddy Holly

Jay Z

                                          

 And the girls aren’t the only ones working the 50’s trend. Rap superstar Jay-Z takes his style influence, if not his music influence, from rock and roll legend Buddy Holly. These bold, black plastic frames have been seen on everyone from Justin Bieber to Kanye West, making them the must have frame of the season. Have a look at these Religion frames for a bang uo-to-date version of this look  

60’s style

                         

               Jackie O

Victoria Beckham

                                            

Both fashion icons, both married to national treasures, Jackie O and Victoria Beckham have more in common than sunglasses! These oversized frames made famous by America’s first lady and have been a symbol of style ever since. A favourite of celebrities and wagsm the oversized frame instantly adds star appeal. Have a look at our Kangol pair and get the look for only £22!

Johnny Depp

                                                                                        

                           

                                    John Lennon

Slightly less overt than the ladies frames, the guys have still got the circular shape here. Made iconic by Beatles legend, John Lennon, the circular frames are as much a symbol of the 60’s as the musician himself. Johnny Depp brings the look bang up to date with tortoise shell frames, keeping more than a little of the 60’s bohemian spirit alive. 

So it seems what goes around does indeed come around, with our favourite celebrities walking very closely in the footsteps on their predecessors. And if it’s good enough for them… let the vintage trend carry on!
