Ray-Ban Wayfarer

Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses are comparable to Submariner watches and Stan Smith sneakers. Wayfarers are so well-known that they nearly define the whole genre of sunglasses. Ray-Ban introduced the Wayfarer in 1952 as a break from the utilitarian aviation frames that dominated the faces of military troops after years of creating them. This iconic pair product was manufactured from a few basic plastic bits. Instead of the typical geometric symmetry of other frames, they opted for jagged flares and strong, aggressive lines. 

Vuarnet Legend 06

No one pop culture hero has had a greater effect on fashion than James Bond. James Bond has single-handedly promoted the Rolex Submariner, the fitted espionage suit, and the Vuarnet Legend 06, whilst the Wayfarer propelled an army of celebrities and singers to the top. Even though Daniel Craig wasn't the first actor to wear these stylish frames on screen, many still identify them with his portrayal of James Bond.

American Optical Original Aviator

American Optical is a pioneer in the realm of sunglasses, alongside Ray-well-known Ban's Aviator. The U.S. military originally hired the firm in 1935 to create highly practical sunglasses that would block the sun's rays and enhance the vision of military soldiers. Originally referred to as the U.S. Army Air Corps D-1, these sunglasses resembled the flight goggles used during the early days of flight, when the sun and flying debris might obscure a pilot's eyesight.

Carerra Champion

For many individuals, bigger frames are challenging to pull off. They take a level of courage that few individuals possess. Carerra was aware of this, and in addition to producing sunglasses for individuals who want a more conventional style, the company began manufacturing wider frames for sportsmen and sportswear experts. Carerra was intended to become synonymous with auto racing and automotive aficionados in many ways. Ultimately, Carerra was influenced by these factors. In their legendary Champion, the company pushed the lens size and design limits via innovation.

Henry Peoples

Intelligent fashion designers usually draw inspiration from the past. Military gear, rugged cowboy clothes, and regal grandeur have influenced many of today's fashions. Oliver Peoples, a more recent addition to the eyewear industry, took note of this and drew inspiration from the film archives to create one of the most popular kinds of sunglasses on the market today.
