Taylor Swift’s eyewear style has grown so distinctive and, well, Tay over the years that she decided to start her own brand, giving us a chance to wear proprietary clothes and accessories from her big gigs and iconic photoshoots. The Red photoshoot included, of course. Posing for the promotional campaign for her new album, the singer wore an all-red ensemble highlighted with striking cat-eye shades further marketed as the Taylor Swift Purple Sunglasses. Offering a bold juxtaposition between the sleek white frame and the intriguing purple lenses, they also contrasted the overall color scheme of the set in the chicest and Tay-est of ways.
Showcasing a sharp-cornered, no-frills plastic frame in a sleek white polish, the Purple Sunglasses are truly a pair that can be worn anywhere, with anything. The temples, attached at the back edge rather than the usual placement along the sides for a seamless silhouette, have the Taylor Swift branding on them in an understated white font that’s just a tidbit brighter than the frame itself. The UV-safe lenses come in a lush purple tint, magnifying the retro allure of the shades and lending a certain air of mystery to them. Completing the set is a lilac drawstring pouch case made of a soft, shimmery fabric, again featuring the Taylor Swift branding for a personalized, starry touch.
Enjoying a wild success on Taylor Swift’s online shop back in 2014 when the album was released, the Purple Sunglasses are currently off sale there. However, they remain available through other eyewear stores, as well as private resellers. Given the latter, prices vary. But, with the average hovering around $65, you have a great chance to fetch a piece of Tay’s signature Red style without having to reach too deep into your pocket.
Taylor Swift’s love for vintage-inspired eyewear and cat-eye designs in particular is well known and documented by fashion experts and fans alike. Whether she’s promenading down the streets of New York, shining at some high-profile event, or throwing another mind-blowing gig, there is no guessing what kind of eyewear stunt she’s going to pull next. We do our best to keep track of her immense shades collection, and the Purple Sunglasses are just one of the many models worth mentioning. Stay on track to discover more!
