It’s official. The Eighties are back. Well, not quite, the iconic fashion styles are - and in particular sunglasses.

Think Tom Cruise in Top Gun with those super-cool Ray-Ban Aviators, or Matthew Broderick in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with his Wayfarers. It’s enough to make any girl swoon…

With more than an itch of kitsch about these infamous accessories it’s a great way to recapture the luxe looks of the Eighties while managing to recapture your youth simultaneously (well, some of it anyway!)

What’s nice is the knowledge that eventually everything comes back in to fashion, and thanks to staunch supporters like Lady GaGa and Lindsey Lohan and the relaunch of some iconic brand lines it’s certainly time to raid the back of your wardrobe and embrace the age of super-sized heels, hair and shoulder pads.

Hopefully you weren’t daft enough to chuck out your Ray-Ban sunglasses from way back when, but if you did there’s plenty of choice to replace them for not so much as you’d think.

If you used to play the class fool and geek chic is up your street, we’d suggest upping the ante with the slick Clubmaster range of frames.

Or perhaps what you’re really after is the added glamour that a pair of shades like the Wayfarer offer to truly channel Madonna from Desperately Seeking Susan.

Now all that’s missing is the pet tiger, although we’re not so sure how easily we can acquire one of them. We’ll keep you posted.
