Remember Trinity and Neo’s all-black ensembles from The Matrix series? The duo popularised the combination of long coats, leather pants and matching tees — not to forget those small but fierce frames. Nearly twenty years later, The Matrix inspired clothing is being mirrored by leading Hollywood celebrities and supermodels, the likes of Kim Kardashian West and Gigi Hadid.
The Matrix-inspired sunglasses have been having a moment since last season’s Spring Summer 2018 shows. Designers like Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and Prabal Gurung reinterpreted the vintage sunglasses trend with a 2018 vibe — but when styled with a long patent leather trench coat and matching bottoms, they’re definitely cooler.
