By Team BEINGBAR

90s inspired sunglasses trends

One of this season's big sunglasses trends are shades that are inspired by the fashion of the late nineties. Old styles that are "in fashion" again is not a new phenomenon of course. We've seen a revival of many iconic styles and trends from days past every couple of years. There are many different styles inspired by different eras, just like with fashion. Some are passing quickly and do not really catch on. Others are here to stay for longer.


There are many different styles inspired by different eras, just like with fashion. Some are passing quickly and do not really catch on. Others are here to stay for longer.


From iconic 50s style, to 70s style to 90s...

An example are the more classic models from the fifties a few years back (although one could argue that they never really left). There has been a 60s and a 70s revival, and now a 90s revival. New models inspired by iconic design sunglasses (and their then-famous sunglasses wearers) from back in the day.

In this article we sum up some of the different sunglasses styles influenced by different eras.


Small 90s skinny sunglasses:

Small skinny sunglasses that were especially hot in the nineties are small in size and therefore provide you significantly less protection from the sun than most other models (the sunlight passes the protective lenses from the bottom, top and sides easily). But as we have often explained there is a clear split in sun eyewear lovers, between functional and fashionable... And Fashionistas tend to care less for minor details like eye protection. The small 90s skinny sunglasses trend (re)started last season and continues throughout the current fashion season. And it looks like it's here to stay for a while!


Mirror lens sunglasses:

Mirror lens sunglasses have never been gone since they were first introduced in the 50s (1948 to be exact). But what is different in today's eyewear fashion is that the trend more than ever moves towards brighter and more flashy colors. Color is a great way to express yourself. And when your lens color is amplified by the mirror effect, you have something special. Make sure you choose the right colors that match your overall style. And your mood! We have quite some articles about this topic on our website.

Stylish colored tinted sunglasses:

One of the biggest trends is colored tinted sunglasses. These are the sunglasses you know and love, but now available with different colored and tinted lenses. This style of sunglasses are in fashion since the last five seasons, while you clearly see the color palette changing year-over year. The current color palette of these colored tinted sunglasses are inspired by pastel colors. You have pastel colored lenses in all colors of the rainbow, but most popular are light blue, burnt orange, pink, and sunshine yellow colors.


Oversized 70s square sunglasses:

Oversized sunglasses are perfect for the summer season because they protect your eyes and the skin aorund them from sunlight and damaging UV rays. And wrinkles! Oversized square sunglasses have a wide range of variations in designs from year to year. These sunglasses are known to give you a beautiful "classy" and charming look. Although you see many women over their 30s with this style, it is popular among different age brackets and generations.

Cat-eye sunglasses are all the trend this season. Oversized cat sunglasses are typically worn by women, unless you're a really expressive type.

This model is great if you have distinct facial features, because they emphasize your cheeks. For this style you need to be somewhat expressive and not too shy. This model type screams "look-at-me!" and adds a boat load of style and personality!
