There’s something about tinted sunglasses that remind me of summery photos and films set in the ’70s. As recent runways would show us, this is a hot accessory to cop this season.
Vogue notes that the vintage shades made a huge comeback thanks to labels like Gucci and Loewe. The magazine also funnily relates that the yellow and orange-tinted glasses are what our uncles would usually wear. For us, it’s another summer accessory that we’ll wear daily on the streets or at the beach. Because admit it, we all want a fun alternative to our black shades without compromising the sun protection.
