The New Old Trend for Fall 2009 Fashion is always recycling itself.ralph lauren Outlet For the last two summers we've been in the grip of a 1960s Pop retread-loose, roomy clothes in bright prints, and Wayfarers sunglasses a la Audrey Hepburn, or modernized with a splash of color, on everyone's faces. Now we're seeing a return to rockabilly style, with Clubmaster sunglasses and denim jackets taking us back to the 1950s. Barring a sudden return to, say, Victorian England, with corsets and cravats for everyone, what else could be next besides a remix of the 1970s? This possibility is strongly hinted at by one accessory beginning to come into vogue again-tea shades, also known as John Lennon glasses. Tea shades are available as regular glasses or sunglasses. They consist of a wire-rim frame, perfectly round lenses of medium size, and an arched bridge with pads that sit on the nose for support. Dig through the archives of famous figures from the late 1960s and 1970s, and you will find tea shades popping up again and again: besides Lennon, other adopters of the trend included Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Mick Jagger, and Ozzy Osbourne. While purists tended to stick to plain-colored metals and ordinary black lenses, as time wore on, tea shades became available with tortoise or other materials for the frames and wildly colored lenses. Current adopters of the tea shade trend seem to be those celebrities who are usually at the fringes-or some would say the cutting edge. Mary-Kate Olsen, an early fan of the oversized sunglasses that have dominated celebrityland for the last four years, has been seen out and about in tea shade sunglasses. Pop sensation and apparent performance artist Lady GaGa, who is never without a pair of sunglasses in her public appearances, has worked several pairs of tea shades into her repertoire. Among the men, comedian Jack Black is a fan of this style, and Daniel Radcliffe sports a pair with black frames when he's pretending to be Harry Potter (yes, he's pretending). Johnny Depp also is known to sport the style, and musicians who want to evoke Lennon, such as the Gallagher brothers from Oasis, will also don them. Who makes tea glasses nowadays? There is, believe it or not, a company called John Lennon Glasses that creates several styles of the frame, faithfully reproducing the style for Beatles fans. Cutler and Gross make Harry Potter's glasses, as well as the black plastic pair of tea shades favored by Liam Gallagher. For a more classic take, look to D 6013 glasses, with authentic wire-rim details. Ralph Lauren's 8022 sunglasses reinvent the shape in plastic, with red and green as a color option. Also from Ralph Lauren, the PL 9763 offers horn rims, mirror lenses, or bright gold plastic versions of the tea shade. Finally, there's Prada's SPR51I, which keeps the round lenses while widening the arm bars and temple pieces, adding a nubbled metal texture. Give tea shades, if not peace, a chance this autumn if you want to round out your look and stay on the sharp edge of fashion.
