Jackie O Sunglasses

Much more than just America’s First Lady or the President’s wife during the earlier stages of the 1960’s, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was (and still is) a fashion icon in her own right. In fact, John F. Kennedy often joked at social events by introducing himself as ‘Mrs Kennedy’s husband’. Following the recent release of the best-selling 2014 biography, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis: The Untold Story by Barbara Leaming, we discovered that there was a lot more to the gracious, softly-spoken socialite than meets the eye.

Jackie Kennedy Fashion

To this day, Jackie Kennedy’s unique style continues to inspire designers and dominate catwalks worldwide. It wasn’t rare to refer to someone’s A-line skirt or pill-box hat as ‘very Jackie O’, and stylish stars like Kate Middleton still take style inspiration from the one of the world’s best dressed ladies. Once Jackie was sadly widowed in 1963, her delicate style was replaced with luxurious jackets, silk Hermès headscarves and those unforgettably iconic, oversized sunglasses. Whether she wore her frames round, square, hexagonal or oval, Jackie O was creating a timeless style statement which would be adored and worn for years to come.

Her chic, oversized look was so popular that Ray-Ban® decided to create two pairs of sunglasses in honour of the woman herself; Ray-Ban® RB4101 Jackie Ohh  and Ray-Ban® RB4098 Jackie Ohh II . Both bold, both beautiful. They’re exactly the type of shades that Jackie O would have worn with pride. Never shy to pick a pair of elegantly oversized sunglasses, Nicole Scherzinger and Taylor Swift are among many celebrities who have invested in larger frame shapes with a 60’s twist. Victoria Beckham is famous for always sporting a flashy pair of frames, and like Jackie O is experimental when it comes to wearing various oversized shapes, from cat-eye to square, hexagonal to round. Be sure to head over to the SmartBuyGlasses website to get the best of oversized sunglasses and give your look a Jackie Make O-ver.
