Mod-ern Day Romance.

The sixties is making a comeback once again in the fashion world but not through colour block dresses or mod-inspired make-up. No, the sixties are returning through fashion gates in the form of sunglasses!!

Spring 2013 can see the accessory in its true sixties form; the famous vintage cat-shaped ones, oversized white rounded frames, aviators, ray bans,  and the world's favourite 'Lennon' sunglasses inspired by John Lennon. A bit of fashion history for you; sunglasses became popular during the 60's because of the love of the staple piece by the Modernists also known as 'The Mods'. The sunglasses were inspired by the Blues and R'n'B singers of the sixties for e.g. Sonny Boy Williamson.

Designer Tom Ford, whose sunglasses are being worn by celebrities all over the world, debuted his Spring 2013 collection in which the sixties trend has been included. Different cat-inspired frames which would suit anyone looking to re-create the Mod scene!! Other designers such as Marc Jacobs Fashion deities such as Anna Dello has been seen in the 60's inspired sunglasses  as well as Rihanna, Solange Knowles and Dita Von Teese and I'm sure this spring many more individuals will be strutting the street bringing the 60's flare back!! Want to add a bit of history and sass to your accessory drawer? Make sure you purchase a pair of sixties inspired sunglasses this spring to add to your outfit and I promise you'll be the one of the stylish females around!!!
