From True Romance‘s Alabama’s notorious metallic-bra-matching pair to Audrey Hepburn’s space age 60s sunnies in Two For the Road, there’s an influential look for everyone. Transforming looks with the help of just one simple accessory, these seminal sunglasses are just the inspiration you’re looking for…
