You might notice that most of today’s “trends” are just repeats of history’s past. Fashion trends act as a pendulum and swing in and out of style, which is why so many of today’s looks are reminiscent of nostalgia. Alongside the popular ‘70s aviators, the ‘50s were a time for ultra-feminine cat-eye glasses for women and masculine browline frames for men.
