The Oakley Sutro Eyeshade Sunglasses Bring Back a Retro Style

— February 18, 2020 — Fashion
The Oakley Sutro Eyeshade sunglasses are being brought back by the sportswear brand to provide consumers with a retro style that doesn't skimp on nostalgia. The eyewear style was first released by the brand in 1984 and features a design inspired by the company's founder Jim Jannard's previously created grips and goggles for motocross use. The throwback eyewear style has a full-width design that's characterized by a single-piece vented lens that's made with Prizm technology to increase visual clarity.

The Oakley Sutro Eyeshade sunglasses come in three color options, and join the classic Frogskins and Jawbreaker styles in the Origins collection. This provides consumers with a way to enhance their style with a touch of retro aesthetics.
Trend Themes
1. Retro Eyewear - Opportunity for brands to revive vintage eyewear styles and cater to consumers seeking nostalgic fashion trends.
2. Sportswear Revival - Brands can capitalize on the resurgence of athletic-inspired fashion by reintroducing classic sportswear styles with modern upgrades.
3. Enhanced Visual Clarity - Innovation opportunity for eyewear brands to develop lenses with advanced technologies, such as Prizm, to improve visual acuity and color enhancement.
Industry Implications
1. Eyewear - The eyewear industry can tap into the demand for retro-inspired designs and advanced lens technologies for enhanced visual experience.
2. Fashion - Fashion brands can incorporate vintage and sportswear-inspired styles into their collections to cater to consumers looking for nostalgic fashion trends.
3. Sporting Goods - Manufacturers in the sporting goods industry can explore collaborations with eyewear brands to develop sport-specific retro styles and innovative lens technologies.
