What are Aviator Sunglasses?
Classic aviators have metal frames, a double-bridge, and tear-drop lenses. Many modern designs adopt the same look, but some frames are made from other materials like plastic or have a slightly different bridge shape.
Are Aviator Sunglasses Right for Me?
Aviators are a popular choice for many men and women, even those who don’t know a rudder from an aileron. They tend to look best on heart- or oval-shaped faces, but that’s not a hard-and-fast rule. These frames are as much about attitude as anything else, and we’re confident that you’ve got the right stuff. You can preview what you’d look like in many of our sunglasses by using Virtual Try-On.
A Brief History of Aviator Sunglasses
These distinctive shades have enjoyed plenty of screen time in popular films like “Top Gun,” where fighter pilots were seen sporting Ray-Ban Aviators between dogfights, but their story begins far from Hollywood.
Bausch & Lomb’s Ray-Ban sunglasses introduced the style in the 1930s. Intended to shield pilots’ eyes from sunlight at high altitudes, the design had broad appeal. During World War II, notable military men like General Douglas MacArthur were spotted wearing Ray-Ban Aviators. Hollywood took notice, and similar sunglasses have been worn by many a leading man. The frame shape is now available from multiple eyewear manufacturers.
Popular Brands
Many eyewear designers have incorporated the aviator style into their collections. Sunglasses purists may want to stick with Ray-Ban, the brand that started it all, but you’ll find plenty of options from Cole Haan, Nautica, Flexon, Lacoste, Chloé, and more.
