Everyone knows that Hollywood is the mecca of the music and movie industry!! We also know that everything that comes out of a movie is a hit!! Thanks to the stars and their trend setting lifestyles, fashion has evolved throughout the years but we can’t forget the styles that have made a huge statement! So let’s cool things down (because this weather is definitely giving us a run for our money) and pay homage to the Most Iconic Sunglasses of All Time!!
The Wayfarer has been Ray-Ban’s second most recognized sunglasses. Since the ’50’s, yes the 1950’s, the Wayfarer made it’s debut and continued to grace celebrity faces. You may have seen Audrey Hepburn sashaying around as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, or even The Blues Brothers as they so effortlessly entertained with their music. Let’s not forget how Michael Jackson moonwalked his way across stages donning Wayfarer sunnies.
The Lolita sunglasses have made wearing shades very feminine and fun! The first time these flirtatious specs fluttered hearts was in the 1960’s film Lolita!
The infamous Chanel and Fendi designer Karl Lagerfeld can never be overlooked when it comes to fashion in general. So we could never even think about leaving him out of this list! His art, designs and photographs speak for themselves but those shades keep Lagerfeld mysterious.
Shutter Shades?! Kanye West is known for making these funky accessories well-known. West is always shocking us and he surely made a statement with these shades!
John Lennon’s circular specs are making a serious comeback! This former Beatle band-mate rocked this look with so much confidence, years later we still associate them to his name.
The Aviator sunglasses can be found at every major retail store in the world!! These cool shades made an appearance in Top Gun with Tom Cruise making them look oh-so fly and trendy!
Which pair of Iconic Sunglasses will you be wearing this season?!
