Recorded answer text · ChatGPT · 27 September 2026
If you want retro sunglasses in Australia, I'd focus on '60s-'70s acetate, tortoiseshell, oversized aviators, and cat-eye shapes. Those styles are particularly strong in 2026. Broadsheet marie claire
### My shortlist
- Best overall retro: Velvet Canyon - genuinely vintage-inspired, especially their '60s/'70s shapes and coloured lenses. Current options are around $100-$300. Gourmet Traveller
- Best Australian fashion option: Poppy Lissiman - more playful and statement-making, with chunky acetate and unusual retro shapes. Fashion Journal
- Best '70s aviator: Deering - particularly worth looking at if you want oversized '70s pilot frames. Broadsheet Fashion Journal
- Best affordable: Le Specs - lots of vintage-inspired styles without luxury pricing.
- Best classic/luxury: Persol - excellent choice if you want an authentic old-school Italian look rather than something trend-driven.
- Best for cat-eye: Lu Goldie - its designs explicitly draw from '60s-'90s vintage styles. Fashion Journal
### If I were narrowing it down by look
- Quay On The Fly - $49.00 (Quay Australia + others)
- Quay Come Thru - $98.00 (Quay Australia)
- Decjuba Lisa Retro Aviator - $27.97 (Decjuba + others)
- XR 7411 Aviator Polarised - $24.95 (Black Ice + others)
- Vintage Shades Cat Eye Polarized - $80.00 (BargainTown)
- James Dean / '50s: slim black or tortoiseshell, slightly rounded.
- Steve McQueen / '60s: medium-thick acetate, brown/tortoise, rounded-square.
- '70s: oversized aviator with brown/green lenses.
- '90s: narrow oval or rectangular black frames.
- Sophisticated vintage: tortoiseshell with green or brown lenses.
One tip: for Australia, don't sacrifice UV protection for the vintage look. Look for Category 3 / UV400 lenses; several Australian retro-focused brands offer these. Broadsheet
If you tell me your budget (e.g. under $100 / $200 / $400) and whether you want men's, women's or unisex, I can narrow it to 5 specific pairs currently available in Australia.
