We already know that the ’80s are back in fashion. Starting with the psychedelic colours, to the kitschy plastic earrings and bright leggings. But now it’s the turn of glasses to go the ’80s way. And this one’s a direct inspiration from showbiz: Blues Brothers glasses. The glasses, which have dark frames and dark lenses, as sported by the famous blues band of the eighties are very haute and very now. The Blues Brothers movies kickstarted a whole new trend in fashion with the skinny black ties and black hats along with the glasses becoming a rage.

These classic glasses go by many names, also called JFK glasses and Risky Business. They are the bestsellers in the world of glasses. A favourite with celebrities and musicians, not to forget mobsters, these glasses immediately add a touch of aura and mystery. When selecting a pair, keep in mind, that, the bigger, the better. But not very big, if you have a small face, or they will look more like clown glasses. Look for frames that contrast your natural face shape. The Blues Brothers glasses will go with most anything, and look as cool with formals as with rugged denims.
