Ah, the ’90s: It was a time for boy bands, Beanie Babies, all the good TV (Friends, 90210, Party of Five…) and most importantly, Gen Xer fashion. Think: punk rock plaid, combat boots, bike shorts (with everything), and retro-inspired shades (’90s sunglasses? Now those were iconic).
To take a stroll down fashion memory lane, we rounded up a few of our favorite celebrity shady moments and found look-alike pairs to shop, so you can keep the ’90s sunglasses trend going all summer long. What’s old is new again, after all.
Cat-Eye Sunglasses
Retro cat-eye shades have been everywhere lately—especially in white—and the more exaggerated the shape, the better. Channel Denise Richards in Wild Things with the Garza White and Rose Gold Sunglasses.
Oval Sunglasses
Jen and Brad were the ultimate ’90s power couple and with #couplegoals comes the need for on-point accessories. Opt for black oval-shaped frames like Jen’s and shop these look-alike Bella Gold and Black Small Oval Sunglasses .
Small Sunglasses
Achieve instant supermodel status in skinny ’90s-style sunglasses. The Boyce Black Small Cat Eye Sunglasses are a close second to Gisele Bundchen’s.
Geometric Wire Sunglasses
Whatever Naomi Campbell does, we do–and that includes sporting black metal frames. We think the Balcony Black and Silver Geometric Sunglasses are very Naomi approved.
Classic Matte Sunglasses
We’re living for Rose Byrne and Heath Ledger—and this photo taken in Vegas, in ’99. Heath’s mirrored aviators are timeless and Rose’s classic black wayfarers can be worn with anything. Try the Cruising Matte Black Sunglasses with cute gold accents to snag the look.
White Sunglasses
The ’90s was all about oversized looks–and that included sunglasses. Chunky white plastic specs will give you major style cred like Claudia Schiffer. Try the Not Standard White Sunglasses to get your supermodel on.
