Throughout\u00a0the years there have been a variety of iconic shades.\u00a0Fancy Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s<\/a>? Or those slick Wayfarers worn in Reservoir Dogs or Tony Montana\u2019s terrific bit of eye candy. The latter were worn by Al Pacino in the 1983 classic Scarface.<\/p>\n

But if we are looking at the true champion in the aviator stakes then it has to go to one man \u2013 Tom Cruise. Iconic sunglasses do not come much bigger or better than the ones he adored in Top Gun. In fact every gent wanted to land a pair after seeing the film. The pint sized personality of Cruise carried off the aviators with aplomb.<\/p>\n

Even Time magazine went so far as to produce a full length spread about the craze. According to the publication, aviator sunglasses sales increased by nearly 50% after Top Gun.<\/p>\n

Aviators themselves have a fascinating story to tell half a decade before Top Gun made an appearance. They go as far as 1936 when Ray-Ban first created them as a means to protect pilots whilst up in the air.<\/p>\n

Ray-Ban adopted the name thanks to their actual intention and low and behold they were unleashed on the public soon after. So, if you want to be gunning for glory, here is our roundup of 6 Top Gun Aviators that will make you feel the need for speed.<\/p>\n
