The recent Chanel sunglasses collection for spring/summer 2013 is a mixture of timeless elegance and some fashion boldness. And what is remarkable is that you can see both these features simultaneously in almost each piece.

Spring/summer sunglasses collection is meant to pay tribute to Coco Chanel. And you don’t have to read the reviews to find that out. You may have already seen the awe-inspiring design with Coco Chanel’s silhouette on top – this is perhaps the most noticeable model of this season. Its frame is decorated with the profile of a world-known fashion icon wearing her signature strings of pearls.

Apart from the Coco-Chanel-silhouette-embellished eyewear, the legendary fashion house has a lot to offer. The tribute design is not the only precedent of the pearls being applied – a whole range of items in the new collection have pearl decorations with the gems decorating the tip of the frame above the eyes.

The newest Chanel collection embraces all the trends of the season: juicy colors, circled shapes, cat-eye forms and more. You can also spot such interesting items as rectangular sunglasses with round lenses fit into them and sunglasses with a thick transparent frame.

There is also a range of panto sunglasses that are distinguished by a high hinge and round-oval lenses and take us back to the 50s. A bright nylon frame with a slight cat-eye shape adds a modern air to the design.

With these sunglasses Karl Lagerfeld totally proves that classics aren’t boring and conservative but rather catchy and spectacular.
