Apparently It's No Longer Douchey To Wear Sunglasses At Night
Complete your party getup with some ’90s-inflected wraparound sunnies that look as good on the dance floor as they would outdoors in the day
The first time sporty, retro-futuristic wraparound shades went from being primarily the stuff of dads and cyclists to being recognised as cool was in the ’90s (thank Wesley Snipes’ in Blade; Brad Pitt in Fight Club; and the era’s ravers for that).
Fast-forward to today – when the decade’s aesthetic is fuelling both Gen Zs and some of the most influential fashion designers and style stars around (hey Kim and Bella!) – and is it any surprise that they’re the accessory to be seen with on dance floors again? While we might have pfff-ed at those in the past wearing dark sunnies on a dark dance floor, now it's nothing if not cool.
