Three's a Trend - Wayfarer Sunglasses

If you'd always secretly suspected that you looked more than a little ridiculous in big (and getting bigger), Richie-inspired sunglasses then the new direction in hip summer eye wear that celeb after celeb is embracing will be a breath of fresh air...yes, the wayfarer is undergoing a full-on fashion revival.

First made legendary in the 1950s and early 60s by starlets including Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's and Marilyn Monroe, their fashion status grew when Anna Wintour, American Vogue editor and all-round fashion force, made them her sunglasses of choice for a number of years.

Fast forward to the style scene of 2007 and the wayfarer is back with avengeance! We've put them under the title of our weekly feature  "Three's a Trend", but in reality we could have written a special-edition blog this week with the title "Hundreds upon Thousands' a Trend". Literally everyone who's anyone in World Fashion is sporting them this season - Sienna, Kate, Peaches, Lily, Kelly-O, Mischa, Kirsten, the Olsens, Lindsay - do we really need to continue?

Whether you choose classic black  or go bold with bright colours- for a way-cooler alternative to oversized sunglasses, you won't go wrong with wayfarers.
