This Summer’s Must-Have: The Retro Sunglasses Trend Spotted on Jane Birkin
Summer Fashion Forecast
Just when we thought it was forgotten, the summer season is swiftly approaching, with its official start on June 21st, as it happens every year. This is the perfect time for fashion enthusiasts to dive back into their accessory collections and bring out an item usually reserved for the sunniest days: sunglasses. The brightest star of the galaxy is about to make its grand reappearance in the coming weeks, and trendsetters everywhere will be ready to showcase their most stylish shades. As it goes with fashion, what’s old is new again, and this season is seeing a retro resurgence in eyewear.
Back to the ’60s and ’70s
Drawing inspiration from the popular styles of the 1960s and 1970s, this season’s trend favors oversized sunglasses, moving away from the minimalist designs that have dominated recent years. These large, round glasses with a hint of whimsy in their expansive lenses were famously worn by some of the biggest names in classic cinema, including icons like Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. In the 1969 film “La piscine,” Birkin sported a pair with huge round lenses and a brown-toned frame.
Fast forward to 2026, and this style of sunglasses is making a major comeback. Confirmed by fashion insiders like Who What Wear UK, one standout model sparking this revival is the “Disc CL40345I” by Celine, retailing for 420 euros. This particular design has been spotted on the faces of fashion-forward influencers like @christietyler, @deborabrosa, and @josefinehj.
Affordable Alternatives
However, for those looking for more budget-friendly options, there are several inspired models available at more accessible price points. Brands like Jimmy Fairly, Alain Afflelou (with the “Carla” model), and Krys (featuring the “Audrey écaille clair brilla” model) offer stylish alternatives that can appeal to a wide range of budgets. So, it’s time to explore and find the perfect pair to complement your summer style.
