If you think everyone’s obsessed with the 80s and 90s, you’re right. But there’s one decade that’s making a more low-key comeback: the 70s. And the easiest way to pay tribute to the era is via your shades. Recent runways were full of oversized 70s-style sunglasses, a stark departure from the tiny sunglasses trend that took everyone by storm.
From colored lenses to Elton John-inspired bedazzled frames, it’s time to switch up your shades. Even retro aviators and classic round shapes are back in fashion.
Ready to upgrade? Here are 12 70s-style sunglasses you’ll want to rock the rest of summer.
