I originally discovered Moxsie through the funky Cassius Eyewear collection that is being worn by celebrities like Kanye West and Rihanna.  Moxsie also has stylish and vividly colored sunglasses from independent designer Doubledown NYC.

Doubledown NYC eightyfourseries in Blue $180

The eightyfourseries is a re-make of an original pair of sunglasses that debuted in 1984.  The updated version has the same square frames and gold detailed temples, but is paired with new brightly colored acetate and gradient lenses.  I love the funky retro feel with the boxy frames and thick flashy gold.  Doubledown NYC has styles that are inspired by important eras of music and hiphop culture.  The eightyfourseries is based on the turning point in the 1980’s when the Doubledown founder believes that “hiphop became a global phenomenon.”

80’s Doubledown Sunglasses on Moxsie

I am coveting these Retrosun vintage multicolor Cazal sunglasses.  I love the funky detailing in gold, red, and green on the white plastic frames…so retro!  Cazal sunglasses became popular in the 80s when hip-hop celebrities like Run DMC and The Fat Boys were photographed wearing their colorful and eccentric styles.  I love their designs because they are completely unique and they experiment with shapes and colors that are not usually seen in sunglasses frames.

Retrosun Vintage Cazal Sunglasses $270 at Net-A-Porter

Colorful plastic oversized aviators and vintage styles are really fashionable this summer, so sunglasses like the vintage Cazal are a perfect pick for a combination of the two trends.
