For those of you who pine for the olden days, retro fashion is coming back into style this fall with huge infusions of wood tones and sleek, 50’s lines and designs. Pull out your mama’s old Jackie O’s (or pick up a new pair by Dior) or your daddy’s old Ray Ban Wayfarers without lenses, and you’ll be set to go this season.
The retro looks that are coming back include thick black frames without lenses (or Ray Ban frames with prescription lenses rather than tinted lenses for the great outdoors). This Billy Holly look has returned to the fashion world with a twist, this time around its beautiful women in tight pony tails who are donning the Billy Holly Wayfarers without lenses. Don’t believe me? Check out Dior’s new ad campaign featuring just such fashion. While the cheaper option would be to reuse your dad’s old frames, the more classy route would be to buy the newer, female-sized Dior look-alike frames.
Ray Ban has brought back the Clubmaster design, and the retro look is all the rage along the California coast. Get your modern Clubmaster in any bright color for a new remix of a traditional look. For optimal retroness (if I may coin that word) pair your clubmasters with a high-tops and tight Levi’s for a true flash back to the past.
While the retro look is sure to be a short-lived fashion trend in 2010, it is a cyclical look that returns every few season, so an investment in a pair of retro shades or eyeglasses can be considered a long-term investment when one considers the trend will return often in one’s lifetime.
