These have been donned by the models on the Alexandre Herchcovitch Spring/summer 2012 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at EYEBEAM last September.
The Brazilian designer, who took everyone by surprise with his ultra feminine designs in this collection, chose to use this retro framed sun glasses as accessory to give a great final touch of feminity to the models.

A perfect blend of modern and old fashioned!

The round frame sunglasses are very much in, as the look of 1950’s- 1960’s is now really hot on the fashion circles. To make this style work for you, here are our top tips:
- Sunglasses are one accessory where the more you have, the merrier! You could opt for neutral colored round frames such as vanilla or brown or good old black or go with the other big trend of the season – color blocked frames. Match the color blocked frames with the color of your outfit and prepare to beat the heat!
- The color of the glasses is another thing where you may have a lot of choice – right from dark glasses to rose tint to a brown tint – all are available in the market. Choose based on your personal need and liking. Pay close attention to the end use too – would you be stepping out in the harsh sun or is it moderate sun rays that you would be facing. Traditionally, the harsher the sun rays, the darker should be the color of your glasses. Pay attention to the quality of the glasses too for they are essential to maintain healthy eyes.
- The round frames are ultra feminine – try wearing them with outfits which enhance the feminine side of you! Some outfit ideas of teaming these with are sundresses, floral skirts, pencil trousers, shorts etc.
