Fashion is undoubtedly going back to the future. From brands and designers doubling down on nostalgic reinvention—think J.Lo reprising a 20-year-old gown and fashion’s own Y2K rebel princess Paris Hilton closing the Versace Spring/Summer 2023 show in a chainmail dress—to the Y2K aesthetic reemerging among Gen Zs, “now-talgia” is real.
When it comes to sunglasses, oversized styles in bold colours and statement silhouettes are similarly leaning towards a retro sensibility. Enter Ray-Ban that has long staked its claim in the halls of fashionable and stylish eyewear—you would be mistaken if you thought that its classic designs are not suited for the fast-changing, fickle contemporary tastebuds. Consider this edit of the brand’s cult favourites imbued with modern appeal so you can have the best of both worlds.
