Unfazed by the ups and downs they faced over the last seventy-five years, the Aviator, the Wayfarer, the Clubmaster and the Jackie Ohh have withstood the tests of time. These four styles of sunglasses of Ray-Ban have become a public favorite and have garnered a vast fan following. Ray-Ban, the brand that needs no introduction, has dominated the world of sunglasses and eyeglasses by producing world class eyewear with the best technology available. Founded by Bausch & Lomb, an American company in the year 1937, Ray-Ban went on to become the most iconic sunglasses brand in the world ever.

Let’s look at the four most popular sunglasses styles of Ray-Ban.

The Aviator nation

The Ray-Ban Aviators, developed in the 1920s, were originally meant for pilots. The prototype was known as ‘Anti-Glare’, and it was designed to protect the aviator’s eyes. These specially designed glasses, also known as ‘Pilot’s Glasses’, was to cut out glare and protect a pilot’s eyes while flying. Although, initially developed only for pilots, the Ray-Ban Aviators were introduced to the public in 1937, a year after its creation. Over the years, the Aviator sunglasses have become quite fashionable and have become a favorite among celebrities, world leaders and famous personalities. Although the Aviators have been modified over time, it never seems to go out of style and still remains a favorite.

Way-faring in style

In the 1950s, taking advantage of the new technology of plastic molding, Ray-Ban produced one of the most iconic sunglasses ‘Wayfarers’. Unlike the other thin metal framed sunglasses, the Wayfarer’s frames were made of plastic, and this marked the beginning of a new era of plastic framed sunglasses. Although considered a classic, the Wayfarer has had its ups and downs in the fashion industry and among the general public. It was a popular eyewear accessory in the 50s and 60s. Ever since 2001, when the Wayfarers were re-designed to make it more comfortable to wear, this iconic style has never looked back. Nowadays, Wayfarers is one of the largest selling sunglasses of Ray-Ban.

Go retro with a Clubmaster

The Clubmaster is also considered to be a classic. Developed in the 60s, the retro look of the Clubmaster is undeniably fashionable and chic. Like most of the other Ray-Ban sunglasses, the Clubmaster is another star favorite with the likes of Kristen Stewart, Beyonce, Bruno Mars and Robert Pattinson all flaunting a pair of Clubmasters on various occassions. The Clubmaster has a certain charm to it, one that is appealing and chic.

Glam it up with Jackie Ohh

The Jackie Ohh is a collection of sunglasses by Ray-Ban and was inspired by Jackie Kennedy. A timeless classic, the Jackie Ohh is rectangular in shape and comes in three sizes. Jackie Ohh I is considered to be the original version.  It is slightly rectangular in shape with a slight cat-eye tweak. The Jackie Ohh II is slightly wider than the original and the Jackie Ohh III is bigger than the older two versions. If you’re looking for a glamorous look, the Jackie Ohh sunglasses are the way to go. It comes as no surprise that these sunglasses are a favorite among divas.

Over the last seventy-five years, Ray-Ban has redesigned and modified their sunglasses numerous times and has made full use of the latest technology by producing some of the most refined and iconic sunglasses ever.
