You’re never fully dressed without a pair of great shades.
That’s not up for debate; it’s a fact.
And now, with the sun beaming its gorgeous rays each morning, spring in the air, and summer just around the corner, it’s time to step up your sunglasses game.
VisionDirect, Australia’s number one in eyewear (also a fact), has hundreds and hundreds of on-trend sunglass styles to suit your face shape, from the world’s best designers.
Here’s the five hottest looks, with a nod to the era they’ve been inspired from:
Cat Eye – 1950s
Celine’s cat eye Audrey sunglasses are an absolute classic. For a modern twist, try the dark green shade or stick to classic black like Audrey at Tiffany’s.
Round – 1960s
Round, full rimmed and sensational. Tom Ford’s unisex Carrie Vintage sunglasses are so retro, they prove that the best things really do come ’round again.
Tinted – 1970s
Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, John Lennon – the hippie rockers of the ’70s made tinted lenses a hot trend. And now they’re back. Rock a pair to a music festival or rooftop bar over summer.
Aviator – 1980s
Aviators will always be the epitome of relaxed cool, won’t they? You can thank Tom Cruise in 1986’s Top Gun for catapulting aviators into an iconic status that has yet to slow down. These Porsche Design sunglasses are tough and trendy.
Print – 1990s
Anyone remember Stussy pants? Those hectic patterns and crazy colours? I loved them. And I love me some Kenzo. These printed shades are a just the perfect mix of throwback and edgy.
From big to small frames, dark shades to a pop of colour, all the styles above are fashionable and functional.
Every style is available from VisionDirect.
