An old soul trapped in a 21st-century body? Likes to go all geeky and ditch your smartphones and listen to songs in your walkman? Want to get your wardrobe changed to the Y2K era? Then, mate, this is your calling to officially change yourself to an ever retro-loving human.
There are a few necessary things that you actually might want to consider forgoing all retro. If your bedroom wall is covered with the posters of the classic and Daft Punk it should be all in your playlist. Pastel colour on your wall would only add to the beauty and the most important thing of all your wardrobe collection. The world would only know that you are a retro-soul when you dress up like one. And actually, the maximalism of retro is what took up the current ground now.
The perfect retros signal
If you are considering that Y2Ks are the only retro then you are absolutely wrong, Y2Ks are all about baby tees and denim on denim but there is an era way before that. It's all about the 70s and 80s dinners and disco plus gaming bars, polo tees, and high waist shorts. To be honest, I’m an old soul too but I’m not the 90’s or 2000s one, I’m the one from the 70s and 80s. I like it more there, a calmer and simple world where there were literally zero chances of the internet boom and everyone actually had real conversation and friendship with everyone. The better emo era than the current one.
Say thanks to the revival
The revival has brought back many trends from the past and thanks to the people who wanted to try out something different this pandemic. But a few trends should remain in the past, that is dial-up phones.
Moving on, we are obliged that most of the trends that actually made sense came back. And this time the trends are as per the choice of Gen Z, they have made changes as the maximalism of the retro era doesn't go over the board and still looks perfectly fit to the current generation and that’s the beauty of this trend.
The best example is that the revivals also have to make changes for the better and to adjust as per the needs of the people of the era.
One of the best objects that made a comeback and we are happy about them is the oversized glasses. They are so 80s that you would never want them to be separate from you. I own three types of oversized glasses and one is typically right from the 70s and the rest are with the modern touch such as oversized in square glasses and round wayfarers.
These glasses can be oversized prescription glasses and non-prescription ones as well. I have everything in every category as me being a sucker of eyeglasses, I’m always on a hunt to find that one perfect pair of glasses. I'm looking for my 14th pair and my next choice is again an oversized pair, and not sure if I will be over the retro fever anytime soon.
Denim on denim is another revival from the Y2Ks that we are extremely obliged for. Filling your wardrobe with denim would be your best choice to date and trust us, this style will never go wrong. Denim is already the style booster and when it's twice the normal then it’s a double boost. Can we say aviators are the denim of glasses as these are among the seniors of glasses who are still strong at their game?
Reading glasses pick
If you are an old soul even after your 40s and here, the old soul is not by age but by the era. So here is one best option to satisfy your old soul is by using oversized reading glasses. Reading glasses become a staple component when you cross your 40s and that’s when your lens starts losing its elasticity, they become much stiffer. The result of this is that it becomes much more difficult to see or read small things and even faces difficulty in focusing.
Most people usually consult a specialist for the same and it is usually recommended to use reading glasses. Reading glasses have a magnifying effect that helps in making smaller objects look magnified and even helps in regaining focus. These glasses can be both prescription and non-prescription glasses.
