Jackie's Sunglasses
It's no wonder that various companies have tried and succeeded at capitalizing on the stylish sunglasses craze that Jackie Kennedy effortlessly inspired. Described as 'the bumble bee' or 'the tortoise' look, Jackie did sunglasses right in several decades. Still today, that look she created is copied by companies everywhere; and celebrities in sunglasses often draw comparisons to Jackie's look. In fact, when you scroll through pictures of her in her famous shades, most of the photos were taken post her White House (and JFK) years. I think when you mention "Jackie O" immediately we conjure up the image of her in those big, round sunglasses. This demonstrates, once again, how Jackie easily transitioned, fashion-wise, from one decade to the next.
