Top 10 futuristic glasses for the ultimate sci-fi look

Nothing beats the escapism of science fiction. It allows you to retreat into the cinematic universe for a surreal experience that makes it feel as though you have landed on another planet. Sci-fi is a genre that has inspired many generations from the bohemians of the 1960s to the glam rockers of the 1980s. The trend innovators of today continue to create avant-garde fashion designs fuelled by the unwavering love of science-fiction films and television series.

We’ve taken inspiration from this fantastic theme and decided to create a style edit of our own. Futuristic fashion is making a comeback and we are really excited to share some of our favourite designs with you!

Oakley is a designer sports brand admired for its innovative fashion designs. Coupler has a striking appearance that will make you look like you have travelled directly from the future.

Coupler is specifically created for individuals with an active lifestyle. Lightweight and comfortable, it’s also perfect for those who want to achieve an outstanding sci-fi look!
