When it comes to summer styling, sunglasses are arguably the most important finishing touch. Think about it. A cracking pair of sunnies can ensure your outfit hits different. But we’re not just talking about any old pair. Enter the granddaddy of sunglasses: Ray-Ban.
Ray-Ban is responsible for some of the most iconic styles around. It has taken centre stage in some of Hollywood’s biggest films. And since 1937, its styles have been worn by some of the world’s biggest celebs - from Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali to Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift.
Ray-Ban’s style catalogue is extensive, and alongside the classic Aviators, Wayfarers, and Clubmasters, new styles are being launched every year.
Ray-Ban sunglasses have stood the test of time and are a great way to turn up the style heat this summer.
Classic and contemporary
Here we look at some of the brand’s most notable silhouettes.
It’s hard to imagine a more iconic pair of sunglasses than the Wayfarer. Inspired by Eames chairs and Cadillac tail fins, they are arguably the most famous sunglasses of all time. For a sustainable alternative to this style classic, why not try the Havana Mega Wayfarer for size? Complete with polished frame and brown lens, they are sure to turn heads.
Next up, you’ve got the Aviator. Loved by film stars and politicians alike, the green lens was originally designed to give pilots more clarity of vision. You can stick to the classic green, or give your summer look a subtle twist with a blue, brown, grey or copper lens. And for future pilots (and all-round daredevils) there’s also Ray-Ban’s Junior Aviators. All the style and protection at a fraction of the price.
If you prefer a more vintage vibe, then the Meteor could be right up your street. With a 60s-inspired shape, these sunnies will add a more unconventional feel to your summer styling. These Meteor gradient sunglasses by Ray-Ban have a lot going on. The transparent patterned square frame, the blue washed lenses, and the distinctively retro vibes. What’s not to love?
Ray-Ban is continuously reworking old styles and launching new ones. There’s the Jack frame, with its combination of curved and hexagonal shapes. Or the more slimline Thalia frame that offers minimalist style with maximum appeal. Guaranteed to help you stand out from the crowd.
Your forever sunglasses
Ray-Ban has so many styles, you’re spoilt for choice. But just because you love a certain style, doesn’t mean it’s going to suit you. To make sure your choice of Ray-Ban specs really shines this summer, consider things like your face shape and skin tone. But don’t put style over substance. It’s
even more important that you invest in a pair of quality sunglasses that provide full UVA and UVB protection. Check out this guide to choosing the most flattering pair for you.
