With the catwalks and major fashion labels all pointing in the direction of the 70s, it’s no surprise to see shops full of flares, retro colours, headscarves and oversized sunglasses. Exaggerated shapes and super-sized sunglasses have become the must buy for the summer of 2011 to achieve the retro look that Farrah Fawcett was famous for.

Although reliving the seventies has brought some amazing sunglasses designs that were once extremely popular back into the spotlight, it has also brought with it every animal print imaginable. Leopard prints aren’t the only animal print found in high street stores, tiger, zebra and even giraffe have found their way into the market to really emphasise the vintage era of the 70s. However don’t make the mistake of thinking that animal print sunglasses will go well with such as outfit. Conservative brown and black sunglasses have been recommended for those wearing animal print, with the exception of some tortoise shell offerings.

The colours that are making a particular impact in 2011 will be white and orange, continuing the strong 70s theme throughout fashion. The bold colour has made its way into sunglasses too with many high end designers providing frames that are full of bright colours and strong frames.

Understanding what colours and styles are going be on trend this year is essential if you want to stay looking great and in fashion. The 70s styles and trends are going to take over the high street in 2011 so the more bold colours and styles you can get your hands on the better.
