Here\u2019s our favourite styles you can wear anytime, anywhere \u2013 and the stories behind them.<\/p>\n

Aviators<\/h2>\n

Originally designed to help pilots\u2019 vision by reducing the glare of blue and white hues produced by the sun high up in the sky, Ray-Ban Aviators<\/a> are perhaps the most iconic of sunglasses of all time. First designed in 1936 with plastic frames and green lenses, the sunglasses were special because they didn\u2019t fog up like goggles did (and looked a lot cooler). Patented in 1939 under the name we still know them as today, Ray-Ban Aviators with their tinted lenses and sleek wire frames soon became the sunglasses of choice for movie stars and musicians. As relevant today as they were in the 30s, Aviators now come in a range of colors and finishes, but we\u2019re still huge fans of the classic design.<\/p>\n

Wayfarers<\/h2>\n

First designed in 1956 by Raymond Stegeman, one of the label\u2019s designers at the time, the Wayfarer was dreamt up to be a mid-century classic \u2013 and a classic it became. Known for its flattering square shape, thick black frames and masculine aesthetic, Ray-Ban Wayfarers<\/a> were instantly popular upon release. Its timeless shape actually fell out of fashion in the 60s and 70s but gained notoriety again in the 80s thanks to clever product placement in some of the biggest movies of the decade including Risky Business<\/em> and The Breakfast Club<\/em>. Then in the 00s, Ray-Ban Wayfarers saw a new lease of life again, with style icons such as Chloe Sevigny and the Olsen twins opting for the mannish frames time and again. Although its popularity has seen its ups and downs, Wayfarer sunglasses are a wardrobe staple that always comes back in vogue.<\/p>\n

Clubmaster<\/h2>\n

One of the most retro shapes in the Ray-Ban sunglasses collection, the Clubmaster<\/a> was originally called the Browline for its distinctive half-frames where the upper half is thicker than the lower, mimicking the way that eyebrows frame the face. Hugely popular in the 40s, 50s and 60s, Clubmasters are very much a product of that time but saw a surge in the 00s thanks to TV shows such as Mad Men <\/em>presenting people with the vintage style they longed to recreate. Originally designed as optical glasses, Clubmasters remain the number one choice for men and women looking to add a note of sophistication to their look \u2013 both in the form of prescription lenses and sunglasses.<\/p>\n
