Taking a step back and doing a yearly rewind of fashion trends can most certainly be an interesting adventure. Styles sometimes change within a blink of an eye and when the sun is shining, most eyes are on or behind sunglasses. Since sunglasses have a style of their own, we have comprised a time-line of eyewear fashions throughout the seasons in 2011 for your enjoyment!
Spring and summer sunglasses
This past spring and summer were pretty similar when it came to eyewear style. During this time, retro was the way to go. Big ‘70s style frames as well as some ‘50s style cat-eye edges graced the runways and streets. As for the more urban look, smoky lenses, metallic accents and leather added spunk to aviators. Mixed-media frames were also the in-thing and mirrored or blacked out lenses made them the perfect fit for a rebellious and futuristic look. Round John Lennon style frames were spotted as well as rustic style wooden frames that gave an earthy glow. Also sleek and bold metal details added a masculine and mysterious flare to a typical pair of guy-specs.
Fall and winter eyewear
At times, style is something that one can fall back on. The styles that many were touting this past fall consisted of a rich assortment of shiny bling. Rhinestones and crystal-like embellishments added style and glamor to create a chic-looking pair of sunglasses. ‘80s style graphics, preppy squared or angled semi-rimless lenses and ‘70s style vintage jock sunglasses have also made an appearance. Refined thin-wired frames have also been a popular choice during the months of the fall foliage and winter frost.
Although there are have been many great eyewear styles this year, only a certain few will stick around. What is your favorite style for 2011?
