Spectacles, Glasses, Sunglasses Trends 2008


Written by Daniel P DykesUnlike hair trends and clothing trends, spectacles and sunglasses trends seldom undergo any major change and flux. Looking back over the past 5 years, it's really only the re-emergence of oversized sunglasses which have caused the biggest stir. But that doesn't mean that that you can wear any old pair in 2008. While last year's pair will get you by, that's not to say they're going to be fashionable. Instead read on to find out which styles of sunglasses you should be wearing in 2008.The revival of 70s fashion has been going on for sometime, but with 80s definitely fading, 2008 is the year it'll become much more obvious on the fashion scene. Naturally, 70s inspired glasses will be prominent amongst sunglasses trends for 2008 and thick, plastic frames will be one the year's key looks.

This is going to be an easy trend for many a fashioniser to keep up with after the 2007 Rayban Wayfarers trend, any many of 2008's sunglasses are going to take their cues from the look. Making it even easier is the fact that many a designer have sunglasses to fit with the look: there's a pair for women amongst Proenza Schouler's Fall-Winter 2008/2009 collection, Polo Ralph Lauren have an elegant pair for men, and you'll also find suitable designs from the likes of Dries Van Noten, Yohji Yamamoto, and Raf Simons.

This is also going to be a trend you can wear as a spectacles and not just sunglasses. Carrying on from 2007's 'librarian' look we've seen thick framed spectacles for both men and women on Michael Kors' Autumn-Winter
