Fashion and styling have no limits. Every year, we come across various new trends on the streets of the UK, some being conventional and others unconventional. One accessory that has been more than just a practical tool is eyewear. A lot of celebrities have experimented with their glasses style, and they sure have become an eye-catcher and a talk on various platforms.
You all remember the iconic snooker legend Dennis Taylor and his oversized inverted glasses. Those glasses were made to support his vision while playing snooker, but soon his glasses gained popularity, due to their inverted style, and that actually became a ‘Dennis Taylor’s thing'. To embrace the unusual eyewear trends, here are some of our top picks.
Inverted Cat-eye Glasses
Cat-eye glasses are the perfect example of ‘the best look doesn't have to be over the top’, but what happens when your glasses go upside down? That’s exactly what these glasses offer; one must have never imagined a style that would go upside down.
If Dennis Taylor could pull off super oversized upside-down glasses, that too in a world championship, why not these pretty-looking cat-eyes? These glasses feel like an unexpected happening in the middle of an ordinary day, and they took over the internet just like a wildfire.
Round and Square Glasses
Now, you must have absolute faith in all your style lords if you want to pull off these glasses. This mismatch-asymmetrical style carries an extra load of excitement on both round and square sides. We did wonder how one could wear glasses that have different shapes on both sides. However, this did happen when one of our friends wore these glasses effortlessly and came to work. His glasses stole the show that day, and it was paired with just a shirt and denim pants, no extra effort, just stunning. Even our founder, Sid, couldn’t stop himself from adding a pair of these unconventional glasses to his wardrobe.
Jam Jar Glasses
Nevertheless, due to their unconventional round glasses look, these glasses were widely used in movies. It offers a distorted view of the world, a mad and nerdy vibe you could ever ask for. Imagine the coolest person in your class, one day coming in wearing these jam jars. It would surely be a surprise, but we believe that if a person knows how to carry an accessory with utmost confidence and style, it will absolutely suit them. The best example of these glasses is Professor Sybill Trelawney from Harry Potter; one could never imagine her without those glasses.
Shutter Shades
These glasses are not the inventions of today; they go way back to the 50s. These are super unusual sunglasses, and our wildest guess is that they must have been used to block UV light but also serve the purpose of being stylish sunnies.
These glasses were brought back to the mainstream in the 80s, but they couldn’t grab much attention until Kanye West happened. Exactly these glasses gained a sudden surge of popularity when Kanye donned them in his music video and wore them on multiple occasions.
PS - Well, not a perfect choice to block UV rays, but it can be worn indoors to look stylish.
Lace Sunglasses
You all must have heard of lace dresses, but have you ever heard of lace sunglasses? Fenty queen Rihanna was once seen in these lace sunnies with her iconic nude make-up look and caramel brown hair. We usually know that Riri has a unique taste when it comes to her choice of shades and glasses, but this was among the trickiest ones that she pulled off confidently and beautifully. These glasses give a mysterious vibe of laced masks and are sure a pick to try out once.
Mickey Mouse Glasses
When we are exploring the galleries of unconventionality, how could we miss Lady Gaga’s iconic Mickey Mouse glasses in her official music video for ‘Paparazzi’? Gaga is known for pushing the boundaries of fashion, and her shades proved that she is the leader of the clubhouse from a parallel Disney World.
