Despite eyewear brands and luxury labels bringing out new sunglasses collections every year, there’s only so much evolution a pair of sunnies can go through. Many of the shapes we love today came out of the 50s and 60s, dialling into chunky square frames and double bridges or cat eyes and circular styles.
‘Retro’, then, is somewhat in the eye of the beholder – but there are certainly styles that seem to attach themselves to certain decades in history. So we decided to handpick some of our favourite retro-styled sunglasses on the market today from a host of eyewear upstarts and legacy brands alike.
