Wayfarer eyewear rocketed to popularity in the 1950s, and the style has made a huge comeback in recent years. You'll find yourself in good company when you choose these iconic frames: Dan Aykroyd and James Belushi stylishly completed their black suit-and-tie uniform with wayfarer sunglasses as the popular comedic duo The Blues Brothers. The style also made a splash in 1983 when a young Tom Cruise slid across the floor wearing only socks, underwear, and a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers in the film Risky Business. And who could forget Don Henley's wayfarers in the 1980s pop anthem The Boys of Summer.
