Aviator Sunglasses

About Aviator Sunglasses

Aviator sunglasses are a style of sunglasses that were developed by Bausch & Lomb. The original Bausch & Lomb design is now marketed as Ray-Ban Aviators, although other manufacturers like Oliver Peoples, Gucci also produce aviator style sunglasses.

They are characterised by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times of area of the eyeball and very thin metal frames with double or triple bridge and bayonet earpieces or flexible cable temples that hook behind the ears. The large lenses are not flat but slightly convex. The design attempts to cover the entire range of the human eye and prevent as much light as possible from entering the eye from any angle. In 1986, the aviator style became a hardened part of Americana with the blockbuster release of Top Gun with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer in the lead, aviator-wearing roles.

Aviator sunglasses were originally created to protect pilot’s eyes from the bright sunlight, fog, and wind chill while flying at high altitudes. They started as goggles fitted with leather for an adjustable fit and evolved over time to be a basic metal frame combined with glass lenses. Now, these sunglasses are not just for pilots, the aviator style gets an update with modern elements like thick molded frames, a double brow bridge, and mirrored lenses. The aviator is highly versatile, comfortable, and pairs well with any outfit. The selection of classic and modern aviator shades include the trademark aviator brow bar, lens options including mirrored, polarized, and flat, as well as other trendy features you will love.

  1. Don’t feel like you have to wear the original shape. If the traditional aviators feel too large for your face, there are many smaller profile frames out there to choose from.
