Aviator sunglasses are arguably the most recognisable sunglass frames, offering a unique blend of functionality and 80s style. These frames were originally introduced in the late 1930s, providing pilots with sunglasses that offer unrestricted vision and excellent eye protection.
The distinctive aviator design has remained unchanged for over 90 years, demonstrating their comfort, quality, and effectiveness. Ray-Ban brought aviators into the spotlight in the 1980s, with hundreds of celebrities becoming famous for sporting aviator-inspired sunglasses since.
Aviators are one of the most unique sunglasses styles available, instantly recognisable from their oversized teardrop-shaped lenses, lightweight, thin metal wired frames, and horizontal top bar.
Aviator sunglasses feature a relatively simple frame, available in a range of colours and materials - although predominately metal or titanium materials are used to create a light, strong frame.
Although created for functionality, these frames have a natural appeal and make a stylish accessory for any outfit or occasion.
Lenses types are the most noticeable area for customisation for aviator frames. Each lens type brings an entirely different feel to the frames and offers the wearer unique benefits.
Aviator sunglasses have the unique ability to look great with any lens choice, allowing the wearer the freedom to choose a lens that best suits their personal style.

The classic aviator sunglasses style is a very versatile frame when it comes to suitability for face shape. They look great with almost all face shapes due to their combination of lines and curves, typically wider at the top and tapered at the bottom, which makes them particularly suited to oval, square, and heart-shaped faces.

Our aviator sunglasses are designed to provide 100% UV protection. This blocks harmful UVA and UVB rays from reaching your eyes, helping to improve eye health.
Polarised aviator sunglasses reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, or glass, making them an excellent choice for outdoor activities or driving.
If you spend a lot of time outside or near reflective environments, polarised lenses can significantly improve visual comfort.
