The Perfect View

The absolute must-accessory to perfect your look and to elevate your entire ensemble means a perfect pairing of sunglasses. A season’s eyewear trends always represent novelty, statement-making frames and timeless designs. The trendiest styles of shades I have added to my shopping card for summer 2021 all celebrate the 70s and 50s.

Retro round

Brands like Chloé revive the nostalgia feeling of the 70s with stylish oversized round frames. Due to its heritage Loewe even decorates its designs with leather details.

Gucci as you see here is topping that trend with tinted lenses in bright colors. One thing you may be sure: With this retro-inspired silhouette your beach appearance will be guaranteed.

50s muse

An already forever-shape when it comes to eyewear is the classic cat-eye shape. Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta or Valentino this year enhance that look by injecting a contemporary twist to the retro shape.

And me?

I choose a version from Miu Miu, a combination of butterfly and cat-eye in soft ice colors, to embrace my inner 50s muse.

XXL cool

Another seasonal ode to the 70s is to go big with XXL square lenses as seen at the fashion shows spring/summer 2021 at Fendi, Céline or Prada.

My absolute shooting star: the mega version of the designer Victoria Beckham, investing in a style with a luxurious neutral tone like a rich black for an elevated feel. Drama, baby!
