A journey through eyewear fashion!

1900-2000: The looks of the last millennium

In the early 1910s, simple, round wire frames dominated the eyewear scene. But as early as the 1930s, eyewear underwent a revolution with the iconic double bridge aviator glasses. The peak of eyewear fashion then came in the 1970s with the rise of the oversized frame style, popularized by celebrities such as Jackie Kennedy Onassis.

Remember, everything comes back at some point! Even the looks of the 10s, 30s or 70s

Eyewear from 2000: statement accessories

The 2000s then brought a wave of eye-catching, thick-rimmed glasses with rhinestone embellishments that served as statement accessories. Today, we are seeing a return to retro styles, especially colorful cat-eye sunglasses that bring a touch of nostalgia to modern outfits.

Swarovski: Unique crystals

Swarovski crystals are renowned for their brilliance, clarity and beauty. They are made from high-quality glass, which is cut and polished in an elaborate process to achieve exceptional optical clarity and precision. Due to the special composition of the glass and the precise cutting technique, the light is refracted and reflected in the crystals, resulting in a sparkling and shiny effect. They are often used in the jewelry and fashion industry, but also in other areas such as interior decoration and lighting. The crystals are available in many different colors and shapes and therefore offer a wide range of design options. Due to their high quality, crystals are very popular and sought-after by many people.

The swan as a trademark

The Swarovski swan was first introduced in 1989 as part of the Swarovski logo and represents a majestic swan spreading its wings. The swan symbolizes elegance, beauty and grace, which also embody Swarovski’s brand values. It has become an iconic symbol since its introduction and is now used in many areas of the brand, including jewelry, watches and crystal figurines. Swarovski is also committed to the protection of wildlife and has launched various initiatives to support endangered species, including swans.

Campaigns: Bella Hadid x Swarovski

The collaboration between Swarovski and Bella Hadid began in 2017, when the model became a brand ambassador for Swarovski for the first time. Bella Hadid has been an important part of the brand ever since and has appeared in several campaigns. As a brand ambassador, Bella Hadid has helped bring Swarovski’s fashion and jewelry collections to a wider audience. She has also participated in various charity events on behalf of the brand and supported social projects. Bella Hadid is known for her sense of style and fashion as well as her classic elegance and therefore fits perfectly with Swarovski’s values and aesthetics.

As part of her collaboration with Swarovski, Bella Hadid has designed several jewelry collections for the brand. These collections were inspired by Bella Hadid’s personal style and include a wide range of jewelry pieces, including earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. The jewelry pieces designed by Bella are very popular with Swarovski’s fans and customers and are often described as glamorous and trendy. The collaboration with Bella has definitely helped to strengthen the brand’s image as a leading provider of high-quality and modern jewelry.

Swarovski Waterschool: Educational program for water conservation

The Swarovski Waterschool is an educational program initiated by the Swarovski Foundation that aims to raise awareness of the importance of water resources and the need to conserve them. Swarovski launched this project in 2000. Since then, it has reached over 600,000 schoolchildren in more than 20 countries worldwide. The Swarovski Waterschool uses an innovative, interactive learning methodology to foster young people’s understanding and appreciation of water.

Glasses with metal frame

Fashion designers have long been aware of the importance of eyeglasses, which are now available in a wide variety of styles. As figures from an eyewear study show, the number of people wearing glasses is growing steadily. More than 41 million adults – 23 million of them permanently – now wear glasses.

Reason enough why the visual aids are now constantly reinventing themselves and are available in many fresh styles. One of the highlights of the year are timeless glasses with filigree frames. Golden or copper-colored glasses with metal frames are particularly trendy. Whether in a circular or angular shape, such women’s glasses are easy to combine due to their discreet look and look good on almost everyone. Another advantage with these everlasting models is the noble accent, which makes a fashion statement with simple looks. While silver-colored glasses suit more reserved spectacle wearers, gold and copper-colored models bring the face more into focus. They attract attention and look good on wearers with warm skin tones.

Retro glasses: 70s and XXL frames

We all still know them: the colorful looks of the past, some of which have fallen into oblivion today. Some “dusty” styles, on the other hand, are experiencing a fashion revival. Vision aids are also getting an extra dose of retro feeling in 2023. Large and extravagant models in 1970s style in particular are seen as trendy. Of course, horn-rimmed glasses or variants with XXL frames are anything but inconspicuous. Therefore, you should coordinate the statement glasses with your outfit.

For example, they look cool with mom jeans, an oversized sweater and retro sneakers. For even more 70s, you can bring out the flared pants, boho dresses or platform shoes from the closet again. All in all, these models radiate maximalism in a dignified way, with which you show stylish attitude.

Glasses with gradients

This trend is especially aimed at extroverted personalities who like to lay on the fashion thick! We’re talking about glasses with frames that feature bright color gradients. The stronger and more colorful the design, the more stylish it is.

However, brown or natural shades inspired by soft natural materials like wood and sand are also allowed. They primarily emphasize our natural side and are therefore suitable as creative, but discreet everyday glasses. Glasses with color gradients are also the perfect companions for monochrome outfits. These glasses look especially advantageous on a face shape with a narrow forehead and wide jaw. Then they act as a harmonizing counterpart and balance the “plump” lower half of the face.

Transparent frames

A super-clean pair of glasses that nevertheless immediately catches the eye is one with a transparent frame. It stands out simply because of its unusual shape. However, the frame can and may still bring a touch of color.

The advantage of these models is their open shape. This automatically makes the look more friendly and fresh. Last but not least, these glasses are real combination wonders that adapt to the complexion and skin color. Thus, they complement both jeans and blazer or the wedding dress.

Aviator glasses: Leather jacket and boots

Not only the stars and starlets are crazy about the so-called aviator glasses. These glasses become unique thanks to their drop-shaped lenses. In the past, these models were mostly something for men, but today, in addition, they are making their way into women’s fashion. Aviators harmonize perfectly with leather jackets and rocking boots. But they can also be worn as a contrast to feminine outfits. These glasses, which are known to take up a lot of space, go particularly well with large-size faces. People with a small or delicate face better reach for a less conspicuous variant.

Sustainable eyewear: Green Fashion

More and more people are consciously opting for more sustainability in everyday life – including “green eyewear”. With green eyewear, the look clearly takes a back seat to the materials and the manufacturing process. Stylish sustainable vision aids can still be and give something back to the environment at the same time. Among the latest trends in these (currently) niche products are sustainably produced models made from bio-plastics. Although fairly produced, these glasses bring the same or higher quality standards than their non-sustainable competitors.

In addition, frames made from renewable raw materials such as wood or cotton are very popular. The “back to nature” models inspire all spectacle wearers who prefer a sustainable and long-term alternative and still want an aesthetically pleasing model.

Which sunglasses are currently considered trendy?

Sunglasses are a category in themselves. Just like, for example, trendy autumn and winter coats, they belong to the seasonal clothing. Wearers prefer to wear these UV-resistant models in the warm summer months. As with “normal” glasses, these casual models are subject to trends.

This year, the so-called shield sunglasses are gaining a place in the fashion world. What is striking about them is the continuous plastic or polycarbonate lens that encloses the eyes. This offers wearers a wide field of vision and good sun protection. On top comes a portion of coolness, so outdoor fans and athletes in particular benefit from these models.

This year, futuristic sunglasses in the “Matrix” style are also an integral part of the trends. The dark tinted lenses with thin metal frames are perfect for the rock look. You wear the narrow models directly on the nose and deliberately do without nose pads. This means that the narrow glasses only offer limited sun protection – but that’s not (usually) what matters to the wearers.

How to choose the right shape of glasses?

Trendsetters should find the right shape of glasses in addition to the aesthetic aspect. It is not at all difficult to find out which model of glasses suits one’s own face shape. For example, eyewear experts recommend round or oval frames for an angular face shape, which balance out the prominent face. Round face shapes, in turn, give angular models more contour. Oval and round vision aids are suitable for heart-shaped face shapes. This is because they soften the silhouette like a soft focus. Almost all shapes of glasses fit an oval face shape.

Winter vacation at the North Sea

The North Sea is known for its balanced climate and windy storms. Both in summer and winter, people are drawn here to the idyllic landscape of the Wadden Sea. As the name suggests, the North Sea is located at the uppermost tip of Germany and has a lot to offer with its numerous islands. Whether as a family with children, as a couple or alone to relax – the North Sea is always a great place to travel.

Here is a brief overview of the North Sea:

Here is a glimpse of the beach to take a long, extended walk:

The be-all and end-all: a suitable headgear

Through the unprotected head, you lose a lot of heat in the winter. Once the head and especially the ears have been exposed to the cold for some time, it is difficult to get warm again. In addition to the outside temperature, wind and rain or snow also play a major role. Especially on the stormy North Sea coast, the right headgear is therefore crucial in winter for your well-being during long walks. On the beach or on the dike, you are completely at the mercy of the weather. A thick wool hat that also covers the ears and forehead is the best choice, especially in strong winds. Those who like it a little more elegant are also well served with a hat.

A wide selection of different hats can also be found online, such as at Hutshopping. Hats made of weather-resistant materials are particularly suitable for winter. Felt, wool or leather have wind- and water-repellent properties and keep the wearer’s head warm and dry.

What is particularly suitable headgear for the stormy climate?

• Woolen cap
• Hat from felt, wool or leather
• Hood

Hats for a warm head: the right size

Those who do not have much experience with buying hats should determine their exact hat size before ordering. This is especially important so that the hat fits well, does not constrict and does not fly off at the first gust of wind. The hat size is determined by the circumference of the head. This is best measured with a tape measure in front of the mirror. The tape measure is placed around the middle of the back of the head, about one centimeter above the ears and down to the forehead. A circumference of 52 centimeters corresponds approximately to the worldwide valid size XS, a circumference of 61 centimeters is already an XL.

Here in a nutshell the instructions on how to measure for the perfect fit of the hat:

• Hat size results from head circumference
• Measure with tape measure
• Measuring tape is placed around the middle of the back of the head
• Continue with a cm above the ears to the forehead

Also as video: How to measure

Here again a detailed guide on how to take your head circumference correctly.

Weatherproof clothing – nice alternatives to Frisian mink and rubber boots

Anyone who thinks of weatherproof clothing only in terms of bulky yellow rain jackets and rubber boots is mistaken. Water- and wind-repellent jackets and coats are now also available in elegant, modern designs. Different patterns, colors and materials ensure that even in winter you don’t have to wear the same look on the coast. Also rubber boots are not only available in green and blue. Even models with heels are available on the market. Of course, you can also walk on the beach with other waterproof winter boots, but the advantage of rubber boots is that they are not only waterproof, but also very easy to clean.

The packing list for the winter is of course somewhat different from the well-known summer packing list for the North Sea vacation. However, some elements can be safely adopted. While the sand toys can stay at home, you should still pack the swimwear. Even if swimming in the sea in winter is only for the hardy, the spas and indoor pools are a great way to warm up after a long walk.

What is a must for the winter vacation?

• Rain jackets
• Lined jackets
• Rubber boots
• Headgear like hat or cap

Ebay Classifieds App: Buy and Sell

The eBay Classifieds app is becoming more and more popular. This is due on the one hand to the simple and straightforward operation, but above all to the reach of over 30 million users throughout Germany. This makes eBay Kleinanzeigen one of the most popular apps in Germany. The gigantic online flea market, as eBay Kleinanzeigen calls itself, is basically designed in a rather old-fashioned way and differs significantly from the usual second-hand shopping on the Internet. The visual design of the app is very simple and the app is very easy to use both mobile and desktop. The individual categories and filters can be selected. You can also set the radius yourself if you want to pick up the items yourself.

Do I have to pick up the item?

The aim of the developers with the innovation is to enable the purchase and sale not only regionally but also nationwide. Therefore, there is now the new secure payment option, with which you are no longer forced to pay for the item on the spot. So there is nothing standing in the way of a purchase with shipping, as long as the seller agrees. However, as the name suggests, it is only an option that the buyer can freely choose.

How to buy something ?

As usual, an item is offered with pictures, a description and a price. However, since there is no possibility to purchase an item by buy-it-now, the purchase here proceeds differently. Communication between the customer and the seller is necessary to agree on a payment method and shipping method.

• First contact the seller via chat or phone number
• The seller is not forced to offer shipping
• The seller has free choice about the payment method

Ebay Classifieds also has a recent update that offers buyers a secure payment method and allows them to buy clothes on the self-pickup app.

How do I sell my items?

First of all, register on the app with your email – it’s very quick, just click on Register. Log in with your new account. In the classifieds portal you will find the option “Place ad now”. Upload professional pictures to show your items in a good light. Describe your items accurately and add a category and your price. The duration of your ad is 60 days, but an extension is free.

What do you have to watch out for?

What makes Ebay Classifieds different from other platforms, what can you expect and what dangers should you keep in mind? No matter if on the internet or in person. When selling second-hand clothes, there are always some aspects that you should pay attention to in order to get a good product. Here you will learn everything you need to know and what you have to pay attention to.

What makes Ebay Classifieds different

The community of eBay Classifieds is quite different from others and makes the app a real insider tip:

• Just call the seller, most users add their phone number to it
• Almost every user offers shipping
• Very many users give away their articles
• Exchange offers are possible

This awaits you on Ebay Classifieds

• High fashion and even unique pieces of catwalks of that time
• Fair prices and bargains
• If you are in a hurry, you can often call the seller directly
• Purchase is made by necessary communication and there is no immediate purchase
