FALL SHADES
Fall is here, and the best accessory will forever and always be a pair of sunglasses. With so many frames of different shapes, colored lenses, and varying silhouettes, it can be difficult to make a large investment when you don't know the next season's trend. Therefore, it's important to know the silhouettes that will never go out of style and remain timeless in your collection.
Cat-eye Shades
Starting out with the classic cat-eye. With just the right amount of femininity and a sprinkle of boldness, the cat-eye frame accentuates and lifts your face making it flattering on everyone.
“The cat-eye was the first distinctively feminine eyewear style in history. Invented by Altina Schinasi Miranda in the late 1920s, it revolutionized a masculine-driven eyewear industry.” - Betty Bachz
Cat-eye sunglasses are just as popular today as they were when Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn wore them. They continue to be a symbol of icon status and feline femininity.
Slim Shades
Slim shades first made their appearance in the 1950s in the movement towards minimalism, functionality, and comfort. Worn on past icons and now celebrities like Gigi Hadid, this silhouette has remained a classic and is continuing to dominate the sunglass market.
Super-sized Shades
Super-sized shades have always been a symbol of chicness, coolness, and boldness, beloved by past and present "It" girls. Although they were first mass-produced in 1929, this silhouette only gained popularity in the 1960s. Since then, big names like Sharon Tate, Jackie Kennedy, Mary-Kate and Ashley, and Beyoncé have adopted this silhouette as their own and kept the timeless style alive.
