Spring Sunglasses: 8 90's trends that will detonate your Instagram
Small and round like those of Rachel, classics such as those that Dylan has made immortal but also those with oversized shapes loved by Claudia and Naomi… In short, this article is about all the coolest sunglasses of the 90s and the novelties inspired to the decade that is driving the world crazy with nostalgia!
The 90's are back! They are now everywhere: in movies, in music videos, in Netflix series, in social media and especially in fashion. Streetwear has now become a style of its own, and although it remains influenced by new urban cultures, it draws a lot from the decade that consecrated it. Just think that Off White, an American streetwear brand, is the number one among the most desired brands in the world, before Gucci and Balenciaga. High-waisted jeans, white sneakers, leather jackets, grunge shirts, bomber jackets, fantasy prints, tight tops, velvet trousers... These are just some of the trends that magazines and Instagram are full of.
Gwen Stefani’s rolled hair and hair clips seem to have become the must of the season too. So, if you really want to be fashionable and blow your Instagram profile up, you need some advice. Here you will find the main brands that have illuminated the golden decade of high fashion with their most iconic styles and their trends in the new collections.

Oversize
It was the moment when the big diva glasses started to become popular. Remember the trend of those wraparound and opaque glasses, that made your face look like a fly? The typical oversized glasses of the 70s have been redesigned by the stylists of the 90s to make them more contemporary to that period. It was in the 90s that the oversize designs of D&G, Prada and Gucci first appeared. Here three versions of the collections available on Otticanet:

Together with these muses, high fashion brands have reached very high peaks.
