Focus Eyewear’s online boutique now offers this season’s best styles. These styles include the hot summer trend – tortoiseshell sunglasses. Fantastic brands like Dolce & Gabanna and Persol are offering frames in this popular finish this season. This style of sunglasses has been around for quite some time and has been popular from the start.
Originally these frames were made with the materials at hand, and came into popular fashion thanks to the 1950’s music scene and stars like Buddy Holly. These styles faded briefly during the 70’s because materials weren’t as available. However the style came back into fashion in the 1980’s with celebrities like Rivers Cuomo – these trends continue today with hipsters and the modern nerd coolness that is finding its way into style today.
Horned rimmed fashions like the original tortoiseshell sunglasses were actually made from turtle’s shells. This became very expensive and became unpopular, the early faux lenses were actually made of cellulose. However today’s tortoiseshell sunglasses are actually made from dark coloured plastics, styled like the shell patterns found in those vintage frames.
The best part about these fresh sunglasses style is that they look great on every skin color and hair tone thanks to their dual toned dark style. Our team always recommends selecting one or two of these styles from the online store to add intrigue and style to your wardrobe and accessories collection. And talk about versatility – these frames can work well at a summer BBQ as well as on your way to the board room.
