Fashionable sunglasses have long been not just a functional item, but also a great addition to any look. They can be worn not only in summer, but also at other times of the year. One of the hits of the coming summer are women's chanterelle sunglasses. Combining elements of retro and modern style, they have become the favorite model of many fashionistas. Today we'll take a closer look at them.
Model features
Chanterelle sunglasses are sometimes called differently - “cat's eye”, “cats”. All this is not without reason. They have a rather narrow frame, and the sharp outer corners are raised up, very much reminiscent of the cunning eyes of a fox or cat.
The frames can be of different colors and textures, and vary slightly in thickness, but the distinctive feature is always the same - the corners are pointed and elongated towards the temples. The lower part of the lenses and frames is rounded, which softens sharp corners.
A little history
It is quite difficult to give an exact answer to the question of when fox glasses first appeared.The most popular version - he created them himself Christian Dior. He was inspired by one of his models, who had a beautiful and slightly slanted eye shape. Supposedly she was Kazakh. This happened in the 40s of the last century.
In the next couple of decades, the fashionable wave of “cat eyes” picked up many world-class stars. Among them are Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly and other beauties. Afterwards, many fashion houses - Fendi, Tom Ford, Jean-Paul Gaultier - picked up the idea of “cunning” glasses and included them in their collections.
Interesting! In recent years, the fashion for foxes has stirred up girls with renewed vigor. This model has been spotted more than once on Ksenia Sobchak, Eva Mendes and other stars of Russian and world show business.
In what way can foxes be worn?
Chanterelle glasses can be successfully incorporated into almost any look. They go best with an urban casual or vintage outfit.. Not too daring pieces with rounded corners look great with a romantic dress, but slanting sharp corners can be combined with hip-hop style, street fashion and even some sports items.
In addition, cats are wonderfully suitable for both beach outfits and formal office looks.
What clothes to combine with?
The choice of wardrobe to go with glasses depends on what effect do you want to achieve. For an elegant lady, we advise you to choose a beautiful dress, pumps, and tie a small scarf around your neck. For an everyday look, you can choose comfortable skinny jeans, a T-shirt and a biker jacket. Sneakers on your feet are not a problem.
Chanterelles can be combined with everything that is close to your heart: be it a formal trouser suit (if you are a business woman) or comfortable leggings and denim.
Variety of models
The general name “chanterelles” refers to various models of glasses. They differ in size and some shape elements. For example:
aviators. The glasses feature a metal frame and rubber nose pads. Classic aviators have a round or oval shape, and chanterelles always point towards the temples, making them look like droplets;- butterfly. The model is characterized by a wide frame or an abundance of jewelry. Exotic plastic colors are welcome. Usually the sharpness of the corners is not so pronounced, smooth rounded shapes smooth out facial features;
- dragonfly. These sunglasses combine pronounced angles and large lenses (as in the photo). The angle of rise can be either smooth or sharp, so every fashionista will find a suitable pair for herself;
- narrow almond-shaped ones are the hit of the season, which is not suitable for everyone. They are advised to be combined either with Asian street style or with the strict business looks of a confident girl. It’s unlikely that they should be tried on with a romantic floral dress.
