Round, Women’s Sunglasses
If in the past few years the fashion in women's sunglasses was about square frames and the infamous Wayfarer sunglasses, for 2014 the trends are sure to shift towards round and fun, fleeing from sharp angles for something more soft and sexy! In the 1970s the same shift occured, and thus came the boom of round, “hippy” sunglasses that has since become the mark of a generation. This summer get yourself a pair, either in thick plastic frames like Gigi Barcelona, or with fine metallic frames like the Italian/American Happiness Shades!
