Ray-Ban eyewear has long set industry style standards for its timeless, retro aesthetic, setting itself apart from lesser makers with the original Wayfarer Classic—arguably the most recognizable and iconic silhouette in the history of sunglasses. From the likes of General Douglas MacArthur to movie star Peter Fonda, denizens of celebrities the world over have defined their personal style by their Ray-Ban eyewear, and still prefer these instantly recognizable frames today. This celebrated maker offers distinctive sunglasses and eyeglasses frames to speak to different fashion sensibilities—the Clubmaster to the cultural intellectual, or the Wayfarer to anyone with an impeccable sense of design. And the Aviator frames that started it all still hold court among celebrities and anyone else who prefers their retro cool and lightweight metal frames over the thicker, opaque acetate in the classic Wayfarer.
Ray-Ban first achieved notoriety with the introduction of its sleek and distinctive Aviator sunglasses in the 1930s. These polarized sunglasses were specifically developed as lightweight "eye protection" to help military aviators pilot their aircraft safely and comfortably at higher altitudes under the harsh glare of the sun. The original Aviator lenses were created using mineral glass, a revolutionary material for blocking the sun’s harmful UV rays. In 1952, Ray-Ban introduced its legendary Classic Wayfarer, forever changing the way the world looked at sunglasses. Over eight decades leading the way with consistent quality and innovative style, Ray-Ban has evolved into a premiere fashion brand that has helped shape American pop culture and beyond.
