Doubtful?  We have one word for you: Aviators™ .

History of  Ray-Ban^® Aviators™

Made popular by the US Military (the Air Corps, to be precise), Aviators™  are a design that have withstood the test of time. A test that has now lasted over 70 years, actually.

These are the frames that actually gave the brand their name. Created to ‘ban’ pilot’s eyes from harmful ‘rays’ of the sun, their purpose is stated right in their brand: Ray-Ban^®. Because of their edgy but effortlessly cool look, the public demanded that aviators be for public sale, not just for the military.

With great success comes more great design. That’s how Ray-Ban^® did it anyway.  After making Aviators™ a global trend, in 1956 they came out with another revolutionary design: the Wayfarer™ .  It would difficult to decide between the Aviators™  and the Wayfarers™ , which have been the best-selling designs of sunglasses in history, but it is clear that the title definitely belongs to one of these two frames and that title definitely belongs to the Ray-Ban^® brand.
