Retro sunglasses are making a bold comeback

Retro sunglasses are making a bold comeback

They’re everywhere: thick frames, graphic shapes, and major 60s vibes. Retro eyewear is back—and it’s bringing serious style with it.

Timeless British elegance: the “Lord” frame

Among the legendary models returning to the spotlight, the “Lord” frame by Oliver Goldsmith stands out. Square, bold, and subtly aristocratic, this design was immortalized on screen in Funeral in Berlin (1966), worn by a young, icy-cool Michael Caine.

From vintage cinema to Gen Z cool

Film buffs know him as Harry Palmer. Gen Z knows him as Alfred in The Dark Knight or the professor in Inception. That same actor helped turn these sunglasses into a cultural icon. Today, they’re back, adding cinematic edge to everyday style.

Vintage isn’t just a trend—it’s a statement

Wearing vintage-style sunglasses isn’t just about fashion. It’s about taste, history, and standing out. The “Lord” model combines sharp British design with timeless attitude—made to turn heads.
