The decade known for bell-bottoms , platform shoes , lava lamps and sideburns also sparked many “ far out ” eyewear trends that are back in fashion today .
On the heels of an era in which most eyewear was bland , boring and uninspiring , the 1970s introduced big , bold , funky and fun glasses and shades that redefined the industry .
Hot styles ranged from oversized square frames to glamorous butterfly sunglasses to statement aviator shades . Coloured acetates were also in-demand , along with tinted lenses .
And these daring eyewear styles , which can make anybody stand out in the crowd , are popular once again , with multiple optical companies adding frames and sunglasses inspired by the groovy ‘ 70s to their collections .
Here are some modern takes on ‘ 70s styles that are giving us good vibes . EF
