Vintage: iconic design in all its glory

Timeless designs and iconic shapes are constantly being reinterpreted in the world of sunglasses. The classic, oversized shades of the 1970s, and urban cool aviators or eccentric cat-eyes have never lost their fascination or fashion appeal. Why not celebrate this stylish legacy with Silhouette’s retro models, while benefiting from innovative UV protection?

Vintage styles make strong fashion statements

Silhouette’s vintage shades provide a modern twist on iconic shapes and will appeal to the style-conscious wearer. Our flamboyant models that pay homage to the oversized sunnies of the 1970s, are particularly exciting. Their striking and unique, geometric designs will definitely attract attention. Just as exciting are our sunglasses with colourful lenses. Silhouette’s gradient colours emphasise retro designs using the colour trends from the time. If you prefer an understated look, you’ll love the urban cool vibe of our vintage-style aviator shades. Our models are full of versatile, vintage charm.

By choosing a pair of vintage-style sunnies, you can indulge in the glamour of the period, while counting on innovative, 21st century, sun protection. Many retro models can also be fitted with prescription lenses too.

What is the difference between retro and vintage sunglasses?

The classic definition for the term “vintage” related to original items from the respective era, while “retro” was used to describe new models made in the style of the past. This strict view has become somewhat outdated. Nowadays, new sunglasses in vintage styles are also associated with this term and the distinction between vintage and retro is no longer so strictly adhered to. As reliable UV protection is extremely important for sunglasses, vintage-style or retro models are preferable to the originals in terms of their indispensable sun protection.
