Ray Ban Aviator

These sunglasses are a classic and have been seen on Brad Pitt, Zac Efron, Alicia Keys, Drew Barrymore, Val Kilmer, Lindsay Lohan and Hugh Jackman.  Developed in 1937, the Aviators were given their name from the oblique teardrop shape, which were the same as those Ray Ban was selling at the time to Army and Navy. Bonus? They have glare protection.

Maui Jim Ho’okipa

Maui Jim is a classic brand known for both quality and style. The lenses on these glasses are made of polarized polycarbonate to reduce glare, making them great for activities. Wear them in the car while driving, or use them while boating or fishing.

Ray Ban Wayfarer

Ray Ban introduced the Wayfarer in 1952 and Audrey Hepburn donned a pair in 1961’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Since then they have always been cool.  These frames have been seen on Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol to name a few.  They’ll never go out of fashion.

Now that summer is in full gear, it’s imperative to get yourself a pair of good looking, quality sunglasses. Ray Ban Aviator’s are a great choice and have been seen on the likes of Brad Pitt, Zac Efron, Alicia Keys, Drew Barrymore, Val Kilmer, Lindsay Lohan and Hugh Jackman.

Developed in 1937, the Aviators are a classic style that look good on just about any face shape. The name was given to them for their oblique teardrop shape, which are the same shape as those Ray Ban was selling at the time to Army and Navy. The sun and glare protection helped military pilots during day missions and dogfights.

While the design was popular for a number of reasons, an interesting one is that Army and Navy members especially liked the bar across the bridge of the nose, because they could keep a cigarette on it.

But for the everyday civilian-these just look cool.

Best,
