Okay, let’s talk about this whole 90s sunglasses thing for women. It popped up everywhere, and honestly, I got curious. Didn’t jump on it right away, though. Took me a while.
Dipping My Toes In
So, first thing I did was just look around. You know, see what people were actually wearing. Scrolled online a bit, saw them in magazines, that kind of thing. Lots of tiny frames, ovals, rectangles – styles I definitely remembered seeing way back when. Felt a bit weird seeing them again, like a time warp.
I wasn’t sure if it was for me. Some looked, frankly, a little silly on their own. But then you see someone pull them off and think, “Huh, maybe?” It’s all about how you wear ’em, I guess. That got me thinking I should at least try some.
Hitting the Shops (Sort Of)
Didn’t want to spend a lot, not for something that might just be a quick trend. So, I started checking out cheaper places first. You know, the fast fashion spots, even some second-hand stores hoping to find some actual vintage ones. Finding real 90s ones was tough, mostly reproductions.
Then came the trying-on part. This was where it got interesting.
- Tried the super small oval ones first. Felt really strange on my face, like they weren’t doing much. My eyes felt exposed, haha.
- Then grabbed some rectangular ones. A bit better. Definitely gave off that specific 90s vibe, kind of sharp and cool.
- Saw some slightly rounded, cat-eye-ish ones too, but smaller than the big 50s style. Those were kinda fun.
It’s funny how different they feel compared to the bigger sunglasses that have been popular for ages. These 90s styles are way lighter, sometimes felt a bit flimsy, actually. But they definitely make a statement, even the simple black ones.
My Verdict After Trying
So, what did I end up doing? Well, I actually picked up a cheap pair of the black rectangular ones. Nothing fancy. Just to test the waters, see how often I’d actually reach for them.
And you know what? I wear them sometimes. Not every day. They don’t go with everything I own, definitely not. But when I’m feeling a certain mood, maybe with jeans and a simple top, they add a little something different. It’s like a little nod to the past without going full costume.
It’s just about playing around, really. Seeing if a trend fits your style, not just chasing what’s new. For me, the 90s sunglasses were a fun little experiment, and I found a way to make a tiny part of it work without feeling like I was trying too hard. That’s usually how I approach these things – try it small, see if it sticks.
