The 1920s and 1930s were pivotal for round sunglasses: they began appearing on classic film stars, associated with a mysterious and glamorous air. Actors and actresses wore them both on and off screen, which boosted their popularity worldwide.
The icon of the 60s and 70s
If there's one era that cemented the status of round glasses, it was undoubtedly the 60s and 70s .
