Eyewear goes through trends just like any other accessory. In the early oughts, we lived through the maximalist, bug-eyed sunglasses trend, pioneered by It-girls of the time like the Olsens, and the Hiltons. Then, we entered our Ray-Ban Wayfarers-obsessed era in the 2010s – I'd argue in large part due to the Twilight red carpet's K-Stew and R-Patz each donning a pair of the signature frames.

Next was the Tumblr era and the rise of Lana del Ray, a time when floral-appliqued and neon-gridded frames ruled the eyewear game. It was this bolder-is-better attitude that softened into the John Lennon-inspired tiny sunglasses, and more relaxed and rounded styles, that were popular in the latter part of the last decade. That is, until we hit another bout of the Y2K craze:  bedazzled, frameless, Anastasia-esque eyewear and the return of the 'Speed Dealer' wraparounds now finding their way into the wardrobes of many.

But if you're looking for something that will defy the trends – something that won't feel like it dates your outfit by several years – then the RUSSH team have you covered.
