Fashion trends change every year and it’s not just the clothes. Even fashion accessories like shoes, bags, jewelry and eye wear follow the dictates that these trends impose. However, there are things that transcend trends and remain stylish despite the changes. If I can only think of one thing that transcends fashion trends, the first thing that comes to my mind are Ray Ban sunglasses.Ray Ban sunglasses are very iconic, they’ve been used by many popular and prominent actors, actresses, musicians, politicians, and celebrities throughout the years; from the past up to the present. Justin Bieber and Katy Perry are just some of the hot celebrities seen using Ray Ban sunglasses and who consider their glasses as important elements to their overall style.
A lot of kids of this generation think that Ray Bans must be a recent invention, given how “cool” they look, how sleek, modern, and fashionable these sunglasses are. What most people don’t realize is that Ray Ban sunglasses are actually born out of necessity and wasn’t created as a fashion statement.
Let’s take a peek into its history. In the 1930a, Col. John A. Macready was a famous flight instructor to the US army and a pilot itself. After a balloon flying adventure, colonel complained about the damage in his eyes from the rays of the sun. Because of this incident, he spoke to Bausch and Lomb to make him something that would protect his eyes from the sun and look perfectly elegant. They came up with a prototype known as “Anti-glare”. It has lenses made up of minerals that can block the ultraviolet rays that the sun emits. Later on, it was introduced to the US Air Army Corps.
Several Ray Ban sunglass designs have been created through the years to meet the changing fashion trends. However, Aviator and Wayfarers both boasts of popularity because of their classic look. Aviators’ concave dark lenses look classically elegant and fashionable. It was popularized by Douglas Macarthur’s’ photos on the newspapers using the Aviator sunglasses as he landed on a beach in the Philippines. Its lenses were designed to cover the entire scope of the human eye to avoid light from entering the eye in different angles. Another design is the Wayfarer. It has a trapezoidal shaped frame and well-built arms. Its design completely defines masculinity.
When buying Ray Ban sunglasses online, you have two options: you can go to their official website or you can go to sites that offer Ray Ban sunglasses sale. When you buy from their official website, it will be a little expensive. However, buying from them ensures that you bought the genuine article. You know that the pair you’re buying has the quality that people can expect from a pair of Ray Bans.
If you want to get a better deal, you can try buying Ray Ban sunglasses that are on sale on the internet. However, you have to be careful because there are a lot of fake Ray Bans out there and a lot of them are sold online. These fakes are often less durable than the original and sometimes look nothing like the real thing.
Before buying a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses, you have to consider a few things to make sure that the pair you’re getting will make you look good. You have to look at the shape of your face and the color of your skin and hair.
If your face is a bit round, go for sunglasses with square frames, like the Wayfarer. Round frames go well with those who have square, angular faces. If you have an oval or heart shaped face, you can pretty much wear any shaped frame you want.
Classic lens colors like black, brown and grey suits all hair colors and skin tones. But Ray Ban sunglasses also have a wide variety of lens colors to suit each person’s unique style. In terms of function, high contrast brown was made for maximum clarity and protection. Neutral grey are recommended to reduce eye strain and see very definite colors. Polarized lenses are made to reduce the amount of light from the sun. Lastly, light adaptive lenses adjust its color depending on the light on its surroundings.
Once you’ve decided on what shape and color you want, you can now start choosing from Ray Ban’s wide variety of sunglass designs. For men, the most popular choices are the Wayfarer and Aviator because of their distinctly masculine look and classic style. For women, the most popular Ray Ban sunglasses are the Jackie Ohh. These sunglasses have large frames reminiscent of Jackie Kennedy Onassis effortless style and grace. For kids, Ray Ban has a junior collection where you can find a wide selection of sunglasses, from the simple to the wild. All junior Ray Ban sunglasses can give your kids their own unique style while providing them with maximum protection.
If you want to buck the trend, you can still do that with Ray Ban sunglasses. Limited edition sunglasses can be found on their official website and collector websites. You can also order customized or prescription Ray Ban sunglasses from their site.
Ray Ban sunglasses can be seen everywhere, from the screens up to the streets. Its classic look, timeless style and undeniable quality are the reasons why Ray Bans will always be Ray Bans style essentials.
