They say that trends are recycled every 20 years and right now we're having a '90s renaissance. Everyone from Ace & Tate to Weekday has thrown our sunglasses style straight back to one of fashion's most significant decades. So what are the archetypal '90s shades?

Ahead, we've got the lowdown on the influences behind this season's most coveted shades, from Kurt Cobain's bug-eyed pair, to Matrix-inspired sci-fi sunnies.
