Do you remember the eyewear in fashion in the 40s and 50s? Well, as fashion is cyclical, they are back in vogue again now! In 2013 vintage eyewear will be back in fashion more than ever.
- Does size matter? Yes, we’re betting on large sized frames, XXL.
- Style? Mad Men Secretary.
- Colours? Almost all designers agree on one thing: in optics black and models with much more personality are in fashion. If black hardens your features too much, browns and beiges can smooth over your expression if they match your hair or eyes.
- Glass? And as for the lenses, we have seen various celebrities wearing vintage eyewear with tinted glass.
Nina Ricci, for example, is one of the brands that has also opened the memory box and designed eyewear of the type our parents or grandparents wore, extremely large and with tinted glass. We have also seen the same bet in Max Mara and Marc Jacobs fashion shows.
In short, retro fashion is taking hold, and at Blickers we love it! In the same way that we can be moved by wearing an old necklace, or an extreme bag, eyewear complements the mirror of the soul, and it is very important to feel comfortable with them. Despite these trends, nothing is black or white, and there are alternative and middle of the ground ways of wearing vintage glasses, without overdoing it.
I leave you with the words of Coco Chanel "Fashion is fleeting, style is eternal."
