Classic sunglasses have been the finishing touch of IT-girls way before the term was invented. From Audrey Hepburn to Suoad Hosny, some of fashion and cinema’s most iconic moments have been with a glance through shades. Once an iconic piece worn by the great muses of former times, the classic eyewear is back at international fashion weeks, spotted on such muses as Bettter Us designer Julie Pelipas and Egyptian supermodel Imaan Hammam.
As quiet luxury is nowadays a statement term, these are the best shades making a comeback:
ACETATE AVIATORS
The iconic flat-brow sunglasses have made a comeback, peeking through during fashion weeks. Adding a tough edge, the aviator has returned with a modern take on a classic style.
