Throwback Thursday: The Big ol' Sunglasses


It’s throwback Thursday again! It’s time to reminisce on those olden days fads that were rocked back then.
What do you remember today?

Could be a movie, song, dress style….. Anything!

I remember the oversized sunglasses that used to be worn back then. You know those huge ones that your grannies wore in their black and white pictures and thought they looked fly? Yes! Those ones that covered nearly half of the face.

When I look at the pictures that were taken in the 70s and 80s, I laugh silently to myself. The men with their tight ‘bongo’ trousers and tight shirts that are always half-way open at the chest would climb atop some high-heeled shoes and complete with these huge sunglasses, strike some model-like poses. 


The women were not left out in this dress-up frenzy as they rocked their short gowns, Dunlop-kind hairstyles and then these same huge glasses.

Trends have shifted now but most of those things that were worn back then have cropped up again; rebranded.

Who says these geek glasses are not a rebranded version of what used to be worn in the 70s?

What of the leggings ladies rock now? They had the 70s version back then right?

Another 30 years from now, someone, somewhere will probably be doing throwback remembering the mo-hawk hairstyle…
