Spring summer eyewear styles - what we're wearing

Maksim Goncharenok

Right now we’re loving 70s style for spring summer, along with oversized sunglasses. Lighter fresher colour palettes, florals and crystal clear glasses frames are giving us spring vibes. Uplifting colour palettes from pretty pastel tints to 70s sheer sepia washes and our latest spring custom colour tint creations. Here’s what we’re wearing right now..

70s style

Bohemian styles in natural earth tones like amber, orange, sepia and avocado will give you that orginal 70s style. We can’t get enough of seventies sunglasses right now - think The Serpent vibes and see our Serpent Sunglasses Collection. Graduated lenses rose to fame in the 70s giving us sunglasses with hand dip-dyed lenses in a tint that graduates lighter from top to bottom.

Oversized sunglasses

Go big or go home - you really can’t go wrong with an oversized frame. Oversized sunglasses are perfect for protecting your peepers giving the most sun protection as their sheer size blocks the most sun. They’re also just the job for both making a statement and shielding garden party fatigue.

the aviator sunglasses

We can’t get enough of the aviator sunglasses - classic for a reason, we love a 70s or 80s aviator for an easy to wear, effortless, relaxed vibe. Throw on a pair of 70s pilot sunglasses and up the ante for summer.

gold glasses

Elegant fine rimmed gold glasses frames are our go to for chic day to night dressing. Geometric and square shapes are timeless in gold, but the classic round shapes also team with everything and never goes out of style.

fauna and flora

Nothing says spring summer like botanical and floral designs in your accessories. It’s nice to have a lighter pair of glasses to coordinate with our lighter toned spring summer palettes in our wardbrobes, hair and make up.

Crystal Clear frames

80s vintage pale pink crystal

Cystal clear glasses frames are so chic right now. Pure transparent acetate or soft pretty pastel shades, delicately etched or lined with lace, these 80s style frames are flattering and face framing perfection - we can’t get enough of this contemporary and chic glasses style.

the cateye sunglasses

Elle 90s angular cateye sunglasses

Classic and chic the cateye will always be a go-to. The modern take is more angular for a modern twist and a sharper look, and we’re seeing more skinny cateye designs - easy to wear feminne feline shapes that don’t date.

70s glasses - our current obession

koolshooters

Go big or go home, the 70s were not understated. Breaking free from the confines of the 50s and 60s, in the 1970s we began to consider glasses fashion accessories rather than just a medical device. For 1970s glasses - bold, oversized, experimental styles were the order of the day.

The seventies were about making style statements and showing personality in earthy brown tones, mould breaking materials and bold shapes. Here’s some of our favourite 70s glasses styles to get that seventies vibe…

oversized 70s glasses

The bigger the better, to stand out from the crowd and make a style statement, plus there’s so much more lens to see through. Original 70s vintage oversized glasses are the real deal. Perfect as sunnies, but also for those days when less is definitely not more.

70s Aviators

One of my personal faves, the 1970s aviator. First invented by Bausch and Lomb for RayBan as sunglasses for pilots in the 1930s, aviators resurface throughout the eras and were much loved in the 70s.

Metal or acetate, clear crystal, tortoiseshell, black or gold, there’s an aviator frame for every mood. And we can’t underplay our love affair with the double bridge.

70s Butterfly

Get your boho on with a 1970s butterfly. Break from the ordinary and bag yourself a beautiful butterfly shape glasses frame. Based on the wings of a butterfly, these have all the extra vintage design details to make your style extraordinary.

The seventies square

Bold chunky acetate, the seventies square style is not for the faint hearted. We love this strong 70s angular look giving us all the retro feels. Just add a roll neck and take a trip.

the drop side

Stand out from the crowd in a 70s drop side frame, usually accompanied by the most gorgeous detailing. More like works of art - from zoom meeting to kitchen disco with ease.

What’s your favourite 70s vintage look? Try some on in the comfort of your own home with our Home Try On service - add your prescription or a hint of a tint in peach or sand in true seventies style. Take a peep at our other retro 1970s styles.
