They are being talked about as the new trend to adopt this summer: the Shield sunglasses.<\/strong> With their rounded shape, exuberance, and inspiration from the 2000s, this fashion revival is impossible to miss. Even the trendiest labels like Dior, Gucci, and Balenciaga are drawing inspiration from the sunglasses of our teenage years. In the luxury market, you’ll find various styles, but always in a crafted version. In short, you got it, the trend is here. But is it a good idea to adopt it? We provide you with an overview in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shield Sunglasses: Back to the 2000s <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After aviator sunglasses, round frames, and butterfly sunglasses, it’s the Shields’ turn to take the spotlight this summer. So, what do these sunglasses look like, and what characterizes them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To answer that, we need to take a leap back in time, particularly to the 1990s\/2000s. If we mention Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, or Christina Aguilera, do you find the common denominator? Surprisingly, it’s their sunglasses! (At least partially).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back then, the fashion style was decidedly bold and slightly questionable. One dared to mix pieces that obviously didn\u2019t match but were confidently worn. Crop tops, low-rise jeans, tie-dye prints, and flashy colors were emblems of the era. And when it comes to accessories, the 2000s were the peak for chokers, fake tattoos, and the famous Shield sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sunglasses have very specific characteristics that are hard to miss. The lenses are generally transparent, tinted, or shaded in pink, blue, or green. The shape is rather oval with an oversized, XXL trend. The frames can be of the mask type for those who love ultra-fashion, or thinner, based on rectangular shapes, for example. Lastly, in terms of aesthetics, it\u2019s not uncommon to see sunglasses adorned with small rhinestones or a luxury logo, reflecting the bling-bling style from 20 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to channel your inner it-girl from the 2000s and go all out, this is the pair of sunglasses you should turn to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tinted Sunglasses: Fashionistas Embrace the Trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In a true revival, we might wonder what led the fashion sphere to dust off the Shield sunglasses. The first reason lies with brands and haute couture houses. We don\u2019t really know why, but our younger years are a source of inspiration for labels. What we thought was outdated or pass\u00e9 just a few years ago has often turned into a must-have today. The fanny pack trend<\/a> we decode in our article, overalls, or patchwork prints are good examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, we can\u2019t talk about a trend without a whistleblower. And when it comes to a fashion trend, fashionistas are never far away. This brings us to the second reason. If you\u2019re wondering how these retro sunglasses have made a comeback, look to influencers. They have literally embraced the Shield sunglasses<\/strong> phenomenon. On Instagram, there are countless trendy girls posing nonchalantly at a caf\u00e9 terrace or taking selfies in front of their mirrors with their favorite accessory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They sport these retro sunglasses, but in a modern way. The fashion style, although decidedly vintage, is composed of contemporary pieces where luxury clearly has its place. The Shield<\/strong> pairs perfectly with a luxury handbag like the Dior Saddle or the Gucci baguette, and a basic piece, such as the good old white t-shirt.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This combo definitely takes the outfit to the next level, saving you from looking like a forgotten teenager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
