This fall, the saying “everything old is new again” is back in full force. Whether it be cargo pants, slip dresses, or the oversized blazer, taking a retro approach to your wardrobe is definitely one way to win the style season. The old-school, new-school vibe can also come through in your accessories — eyewear included. That’s where Zenni Optical’s newest installment in its “Find Your Frame of Mind” campaign with actress and singer Keke Palmer comes in.

The Nostalgic Grace collection, the third collection of Zenni’s campaign with Palmer, is the epitome of her leading-lady energy and totally chic style. Featuring frames inspired by Palmer’s vintage-vogue glam, it pays homage to the rock stars we know and love, but with a modern twist. Think: on-trend thick square frames and unexpected ombre aviators at prices that let you change up your look as often as you’d like. The pieces can be made into glasses or sunglasses for total versatility and ease. After all, Zenni is the go-to place to shop affordable, unique glasses so you can embrace your favorite trends, or try totally new ones.
