RayBan Aviator celebrates three quarters of a century

Ray Ban Aviator celebrates 75 years this year, becoming the most worn, photographed and prolific selling sunglasses ever.  It’s history began in 1937, when Bausch and Lomb registered a patent to produce the glare caused by the suns rays.  The American Air Force soon after took on the Aviator as its sunglasses of choice for their pilots, mainly due to the excellent anti-glare properties, but also for its double bridge bar design, which very helpfully acts as a cigarette holder while the pilot concentrated on flight.

 

History also includes the Aviator being worn in world war II, with General Douglas MacArther being photographed in a pair while arriving on a beach in the Philippines.  The iconic RayBan design became number one status after featuring in the film Top Gun with Tom Cruise appearing in Aviators throughout the film.

The influential level in which these sunglasses have had on the music and celebrity world is astonishing, with every magazine, newspaper and fashion blog featuring them being worn.

In 1999 Bausch  and Lomb, the original manufactures of the Ray-Ban Aviator, sold the ownership of the brand to Luxottica, Italy.  This massive optical producer has carried on the tradition of the original Aviator style, making ultimate retro cool.

Sunglasses-direct now has the aviator for sale as the new model RB 3025, available in 25 colours and lens tint options

Sunglasses – Raybans that Rock

As the music festival season kicks off, it’s time to indulge in a little festival fashion – getting the right designer sunglasses can make or break an outfit.

Ray-Bans rock, Chanel is chic, and Jimmy Choo is more than a shoe – having designer labels on you shades is one way of achieving rock star cool. Designer sunglasses from the likes of Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and Police are in big demand at must-go music festivals like Glastonbury and Bestival. Music festivals are places to see some of the hottest acts on the planet, but they’re also a chance to look hot too. The fashion mags are crammed with photos of celebrities sporting festival chic, often led by the likes of Kate Moss, who manages to make a pair of wellies look stylish with the right pair of Gucci sunglasses.

Music Festivals: Pack a Mac, Sunglasses and Wellies

Music festivals are a chance to put some rock-chick style into your wardrobe. And the sure-fire way to get the look right is to opt for a designer brand. If in doubt, flick through a celebrity magazine and check out what brands your favourite celebrity is donning this year – you can be guaranteed the magazine will dissect celebrities every designer choice from their shoes to their shades; Ray-Ban, Chanel, Oakley, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Police, Gucci, Emporio Armani and Jimmy Choo are all hot names in the sunglasses game. Choosing big brands you’re safe in the knowledge that your shades won’t date, but will simply become timeless designer classics. With leading designer sunglasses, you know that even if the sun isn’t shining, you’ll shine out in the crowd.

Designer Sunglasses – Stay Cool

No matter what the weather, festival-goers need to always pack a few essentials – including macs and wellies, as well as suncream and sunglasses. As with many British outdoor events, the chances are it will start out sunny and turn wet, or vice-versa. Variable weather is one of the few guarantees.

Many music festivals tend to be family affairs. It’s important you make sure your children are protected from the elements too. Always pack and use suncream whatever the weather, take your waterproofs and invest in sunglasses for your children. Research has shown that toddlers are vulnerable to the sun’s rays as the lenses of a child’s eye are more transparent. Excessive exposure to sunlight can potentially damage the eyes. It’s important to buy a good pair of sunglasses that offer the right UV protection.
