Fall 2012 Sunglasses Styles

Fall is the time of year when everything from summer stars to wind down; the leaves fall from the trees and the breeze cools down. But don’t put your sunglasses away too soon; fall 2012 has some stunning sunglasses on offer for you to enjoy.

Oversized sophistication

These MJ384 by Marc Jacobs are a versatile frame which are new for this season. The chunky acetate frame and striking gold pin detail to the temple and arm ooze sophistication and class, and are perfect teamed with a black blazer, straight-legged jeans and court shoes for a relaxed daytime look.

Another great choice this fall is these Gucci GG 3533 sunglasses. Their squared shape and oversized look make for a dramatic but wearable style and the warm honey hue offers an alternative to a classic black frame. (Gucci GG 3533 sunglasses RRP $360)

Retro cool

The retro fashion trend has been seen on the catwalks for many seasons in recent times, reflected in shift dresses, platform heels and accessories including sunglasses and necklaces. Fall 2012 is no different; cue an uber-cool range of shades to wear with your favourite outfit.

These Dior Croisette 3 sunglasses amass every aspect of the retro fashion trend in one wearable frame. The upper part of the frame boasts a glossy and delicate black color whilst the lower part is flecked with a warm tortoiseshell pattern. The metal detail in the centre of the frame and Dior branding on the arm make these sunglasses an instantly recognizable designer sunglasses accessory whilst the round shape and chunky keyhole nose bridge detail hold their place firmly as a retro fashion piece.

In keeping with the retro theme for fall, these Giorgio Armani GA 946 sunglasses offer a key fashion piece for your wardrobe in a daring color. There is no denying their round shape and simple acetate design makes them a true retro-style accessory and the color is an unexpected addition to the otherwise common frame shape.
