A sassy minx causes a spectacle for all the right reasons. So fabulously dressed, people can’t help but stare in envy at the sheer sophistication she exudes.
She’s wearing a pair of oversized hot pink sunnies and they make her strut like a catwalk queen holidaying in the Bahamas.
Sunglasses have been around since the ’50s and many style icons have used them as part of their signature look. Jackie O’s famous oversized sunnies can now be seen cool again on the likes of Nicole Ritchie, who revels in the vintage style.
What’s old is always new again (hey its fashion!) and this can be said in particular of 80’s cult sunglasses label Le Specs.
When scrunchies and happy pants disappeared, so did Le Specs. At the time, this was a good thing for the exhausted flash dance fans who needed a fluoro breather.
In 2005, the ‘Le Specs, Le tough’ tag line was once again being uttered from the mouths of beach bunnies and city chicks and it couldn’t have happened at a better time.
Gone for just enough time for us to miss them, the sunglass market has since been cluttered with oversized conservative black shades and a string of Swarovski embellished aviators. Le Specs light-hearted and flirty nature has earned its place back in the spotlight and is truly hotter than ever.
Re-releasing a range of their coolest frames from the 80s, as well as contemporary updates and a collaborative line with iconic girl fave One-Teaspoon, the Le Specs label has since been splattered over the pages of Cleo, Marie Claire and Madison.
These chic shades are under $60 with styles for every day of the week. Available at Itrip Iskip
