Build Your 60's Retro Eyewear Style

We’d say that the 60's are back, but they never truly left us. This decade popularized the freshest and most timeless fits, including many iconic retro sunglasses such as cat eyes and oversized sunnies. To help you channel those classic vibes, let's throw it back with a few of our fave retro glasses frames below. 

Rimless: JEZABELL RIMLESS, AROUND THE WAY

Minimalist and lightweight, rimless sunnies feature lenses mounted on top of temples and a bridge. If you’re keen on retro style rounds that evoke flower child vibes, Jezabell is a go-to. These oversized circle lenses are perfect for festi life or everyday walks about town. They’re all shade, with a gold metal backing for a little something extra.

For sleek vibes, AROUND THE WAY is another must-have throwback piece. It’ll give a dose of cool to any outfit with its gorgeous beveled edges and gold deets. For the perfect fit, it also features adjustable nose pads. Wear it with a statement miniskirt or bell sleeve shirt — it’ll take you back to another time.  

Cat Eye: FLEX, HARPER 

With an effortless flick, the chic cat eye is the epitome of 60's style glasses. It’s been loved for a minute: In fact, it’s the timeless fixture from Audrey Hepburn’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Keep it simple with FLEX, a minimal injection frame cat eye that you can pair with everything from a mod babydoll dress to flared jeans.

For added bling, pop on HARPER, a pair of oversized cat eyes that takes a spin on vintage glasses frames with luxe metal arms and a studded frame. Channel classic movie star glam while keeping it edgy for your off-duty looks for brunch, vacay, or just casual hangs. For a modern punch, the matte coral finish is a statement color that will turn heads your way.

Big Dark Shades: ALMOST READY, PSA

Big dark shades are the definition of 60’s glasses. No mod wardrobe is complete without a pair of oversized sunglasses, a go-to for Jackie O. and Twiggy. Treat yourself to the square-shaped ALMOST READY for movie star glam. Available in smoky black and brown, the lenses are not only stylish but also polarized for all the bright times. You can also enjoy luxe upgrades such as a gold lens logo and cut-out details.

Another oversized square perfect for a 60’s vibe is PSA — and the PSA is that you need these. Get playful with a range of dark lenses — you’ve got classic black and brown, but you can also enjoy the black to gold fades for a bold touch.
