Vintage sunglasses on celebrities: Who wore what?

The fashion trends (eyeglasses or any other fashion item) seen on our celebrities has always impressed us one way or another. Love it or not what they wear and how they look seems to get very big notice from us. Countless fashion magazines and news articles alike take advantage of this fact, by drawing attention to themselves using the images of celebrities that seem to draw us in like flies.

Today, though we are in the information age, with so much at our fingertips but in the days of yore we still found ways to see and hear about our famous heroes using the traditional media. Fashion has always been keen to keep up with the rich and the famous and the trends that they picked up on.

Jackie Onasis (Kennedy)….she intrigued and excited the imagination of the popular culture and influenced fashion with her flair and touch for sophisticated fashion. On the other hand, Elton John, with his flair for funk bordering on shock always kept us wondering what will he wear next. Then there are the icons that we are drawn to and because we admire or they repel us we are somehow drawn to their style and eventually seem to want to emulate them.

Movies like “Top Gun” gave us a new look at the old aviator glasses that we had seen in style in the 70’s. Now in the 80’s Top Gun’s Tom Cruise showed us that those aviators were still cool and now he was taking them to another level….we followed. Today this style revamped by Ray ban has been seen over and over again since the 2012’s as a trend that is still going strong.

We have gathered some pictures of celebrities in the past that have and continue to shape the fashion of eyewear. And as we know fashion goes around in circles…those “retro” styles are in fashion again…
