Daisy Jones & The Six Boho Sunglasses Edit

If you’ve had your peepers glued to Daisy Jones & The Six like we have, you can’t have missed the array of 70s glasses and sunglasses stealing the show, along with seventies florals, fringing and flares to the clogs and crochet.. oh and the music’s pretty ace too.

Take your cue from Daisy and The Six and rock culture and take a peep at our boho vintage eyewear edit..

rock n roll aviators

Daisy Jones and Billy Dunne’s classic aviators - coz let’s face it everybody looks a little bit more rock‘n’roll in an aviator.

70s oversized

Oversized glasses and sunglasses are never out of style. Seventies sunnies are perfect for leaving gigs in the early hours, blocking both the sun and those pesky paps. These babies aren’t going anywhere - turn any of our vintage glasses into sunglasses.

butterfly revival

The butterfly is a really beautifull and easy to wear shape. Metal or acetate, glasses or sunnies create an elegant boho silhouette.

Gold square aviators

Gold square aviators sported by Rod Reyes and Eddie Roundtree in the Daisy & The Six, give a cooler than cool seventies style.

Round frames

Whether its rock‘n’roll John lennon style round metal sunglasses as rocked by Warren, or soft round acetate in mother earth tones - both are perfect for aspiring rockstars.

If your perfect pair is showing as sold out, check out our Personal Shopper Service as we’ll probably have something similar in the studio we can make up for you. We can turn any of our vintage glasses frames into boho sunglasses.

Find your perfect pair and add a graduated tint for that authentic look (add prescription if you wear it).

So book that guitar lesson then shop the store for Daisy Jones & The Six original vintage frames.

Peace out

Top Gun and our aviator sunglassess obsession

Aviator sunglasses are back, well for us they never really left, with the release of Top Gun: Maverick this month, so don’t lose that loving feeling and fall in love with vintage aviator sunglasses all over again.

a little Aviator sunglasses history

During World War II the military procured glasses for pilots that enhanced vision and reduced glare at altitude. There’s some debate about who was first to design aviator sunglasses. American Optical (AO) supplied essential goggles to US military pilots. 

The US Army Air Corps enlisted another eyewear master Bausch & Lomb who developed the iconic Ray-Ban Aviator in the 1930s. They hit the mainstream in 1950s and then had a surge of popularity in the 1970s and 1980s with the release of Top Gun.

Top Gun 2 Maverick

It was 1986 when Top Gun was released and we all fell a little bit in love with Tom Cruise as Maverick (not to mention Val Kilmer and Kelly McGillis) but it was really the gold aviator sunglasses he wore that stole the show (along with the shirtless beach volleyball).

So now Maverick’s back and if you’re after an action packed adrenaline rush, aerial scenes and songs by Lady Gaga, this could be one of your movies of the summer.

why we love aviator sunglasses

Not just for pilots we love aviator sunglasses as it’s such a classic timeless look that will never date. Freshen things up and wear them as your glasses frame. Choose from 70s square acetate aviators or the iconic 80s metal pilot teardrop style.

Adored by celebrities like Al Pacino in Scarface, Robert De Niro, in the 1976 film Taxi Driver and feminist Gloria Steinem in her 70s aviators.

Take a peep at our curated collection of vintage aviator sunglasses, add in your prescription or change up the tint colour and make like a maverick this summer.

I’m off to book my movie seats.. you?
