Summer Sunglasses Trends For 2010
Sunday, May 30th, 2010Sunglasses are quickly becoming a major fashion accessory this year, as they can translate a huge amout of information about who you are as a person.
Also, UK fashion seems to be really focused on colour this year; how your outfit and accessories match (or otherwise) can make a huge statement about your sense of style and fashion. Vintage clothing and accessories seem to be one of the biggest trends this summer, with vintage-look clothing becoming a huge seller in high-street retail outlets.
With that in mind, here are some top tips to making sure your sunglasses fit your outfit, and look on trend for the summer months.
Match accessories
See if you can effectively match your bag and/or your shoes with your sunglasses, get yourself some nice designer sunglasses. If you need to be top of the fashion charts (and you’re not short of a quid or two), grab yourself a matching pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and sunglasses; it won’t be cheap but will guarantee you’re looking mega stylish over the coming months.
Aim for vintage sunglasses:
Vintage is one of the biggest looks this year, couple a vintage coloured outfit with vintage sunglasses and you’ll be well on your way to looking great for the summer months. Try the cat’s-eye sunglasses for a particularly current example; quickly coming back into vogue again, the retro-inspired look you get from these kind of sunglasses are band on trend and are particularly flattering on women, as they emphasise the cheekbones.
Rectangular frames:
Go for a rectangular frame this season, and to be really on trend look for a more vertical shape than horizontal for that ‘Mad Men’ inspired retro look. Good examples of celebrities following this trend in 2010 include uber-famous musician Justin Timberlake, and US actress Alyssa Milano.
Aviators:
Aviator sunglasses are back in this year, along with the amazing Ray Ban Wayfarer will definitely be a hot favourite this year.
