It seems the season is off to a nostalgic start as tiny 90s sunglasses are making a comeback with trendsetters like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and the Hadid sisters. While the trend is certainly a cool sartorial throwback, supermodel siblings Gigi and Bella are taking it up a notch with full-on Matrix-inspired outfits.
Last week, Gigi stepped out with boyfriend Zayn Malik clad in matching outfits – Gigi with an elaborate high shine coat that would give Neo a run for his money and paired with knee high vinyl snakeskin boots plus black oval specs as a finishing touch. Her beau Zayn followed suit with futuristic circular sunglasses of his own, as well as a black trench.
As for the younger Hadid, she opted for a glossy, all-black ensemble with a floor-length patent with small, black sunglasses and oversized hoops. As an additional high shine touch, she wore a pair of lace-up patent boots by Italian brand Liudmila.
For all the adventurous fashion girls out there, the key to channeling the sexy, sci-fi-inspired look is to wear a high shine statement piece such as a patent trench that remains to be the hottest outerwear trend for Spring. Spotted on the runways and street style scene, it’s a mainstay favorite of the fashion crowd.
