If you’re looking for the best sunglasses to rock your summer, look no further than Ray-Ban. The iconic luxury brand was created by the respected eye health company Bausch & Lomb in 1939, and their sunglasses have been at the top of trend lists almost ever since.


Make Ray-Ban Your Own

Although Ray-Ban glasses are a fashion staple, with their customizable options, you can create your own unique look that will turn heads as much as any of the red-carpet stars who don them.

Aviator Classic

The teardrop shape of aviator sunglasses first appeared in the American army in 1935 and became a household name during World War II when an American general was photographed wearing them in a beach landing in the Philippines. From there it was Marlon Brando’s 1951 film The Wild One that kept Ray-Ban Aviators at the top of sunglasses trends until the 1986 hit movie, Top Gun, boosted the look once again. The return of Top Gun in 2022 and the promise of sequels have kept the look alive for a new generation to enjoy.  

 

Hexagonal Flat Lenses

This classic six-sided design was created in 1967 and has become the iconic look of Ray-Ban sunglasses. It’s an excellent choice for round or oval faces like Selena Gomez or Courtney Cox, Ryan Gosling or Leonardo DiCaprio. As with the Aviators, these Ray-Ban sunglasses are customizable in terms of lens colour, gradients, mirroring and flashing, and pastel transitioning. The frames of these Ray-Ban glasses come in gold, silver, black, gunmetal, or bronze copper.

 

Wayfarer

These classic chunky acetate Ray-Ban glasses rose to popularity in the 1950s on the faces of iconic stars like Marilyn Munroe and James Dean. Its mix of curves, angular points, and straight lines make the Wayfarer a Ray-Ban model that works for all face and head shapes. These Ray-Ban sunglasses are now available with a variety of customizable lenses and a few frames choices, including a gorgeous anniversary tortoise shell embossed frame that really shines in the sun.

 

Erika

These oversized round sunglasses are classic. They offer tone-on-tone temple tips and a soft bridge reminiscent of a keyhole. The lenses are often seen in gradients, but solid classic lenses and mirrored and flash options make the Erika really stand out.

 

Clubmaster

Also known as browline style sunglasses, these Ray-Bans gained a new popularity in the television series Moonlighting, which starred Bruce Willis and Cybil Sheperd. Shortly after, Denzel Washington rocked the look in the film Malcom X, who was one of the first people of notoriety to wear the style now sold as Ray-Ban Clubmaster. These sunglasses are a perfect combination of elements found in other Ray-Ban glasses.
