The oversized sunglasses style emerged in the 1970's, compliments of two very different sorts of celebrities. When Elton John first hit the music scene, he quickly became associated with his flashy, outlandish oversized sunglasses. The musician's sunglasses featured throbbing, bright colors and often had fun, playful accents that complemented his personality. While Elton was making oversized sunglasses fun, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was busy making them chic. She had first begun wearing the styles as the First Lady of the United States, and during the 70's, Jackie O. was seen in them frequently. Her style featured large, dark frames that covered most of the upper portion of her face, adding mystery to her beautiful features.
These styles converged in the 1980's, where fashion took an "anything goes" attitude. Now, oversized sunglassesare back in a big way and are inspired by every look from Elton to Jackie.
