What makes Ray-Ban sunglasses iconic?
Breaking records, making history and adorning some of the most famous faces on the planet, Ray-Ban sunglasses have seen it all and more. Since the inception of this brand and its one-of-its-kind designs, Ray-Ban sunglasses have been celebrated by people across the world.
But, what is it that makes them a classic? Is it the design or the comfort or the style? Let’s explore the factors which make Ray-Ban sunglasses a name to reckon with.
Deep into the history
A little before the bombing of the Pearl Harbour and America’s entry into the WWII, a demand was made to Bausch & Lomb, the reputed eyewear company, to make sunglasses for American aviators to protect their eyes from sun glare. What resulted was Ray-Ban’s first sunglasses, which were loved not only by the aviators they were made for, but also created history by being one of the most popular sunglasses style of all times. No other design of sunglasses can boast of a glorious history like that of the classic Ray-Bans.
Designing excellence
Apart from being functional, Ray-Ban shades for men and women have the curves and details which represent the optimistic spirit of America, and probably that’s the reason their fan-following is increasing by the day. In the 1930’s and 40’s of America, military had a huge influence on fashion, which resulted in people emulating the fashion styles of military men. And, timeless Ray Ban Aviator and Wayfarer sunglasses, with ‘cool’ written all over them, crossed the boundaries of military bunkers to the pop culture fashion, without an effort.
Spirit of innovations
Keeping the original shapes intact, Ray-Ban has come up with varied versions of their classic shades to suit to the mood and temperament of today’s youth. To begin with, Ray-Ban introduced the classic Wayfarer back in the 50’s for people who preferred hard plastic frames than the metallic ones, followed by Ray-Ban Signet, with double bridged gold or silver frame and many more. Since then, there have been a variety of colours, finishes and lenses, which keep the much-loved Ray-Bans in sync with the changing times.
Celebrity connect
Embraced by the popular culture right at the beginning, stylish Ray-Ban sunglasses have been worn by musicians, actors, politicians and famous personalities across the world. Seen on Hollywood and Bollywood trend setters, these sunglasses have the quality of instantaneously uplifting your look from ordinary to classy. Michael Jackson wore them and so did Rihanna. Deepika Padukone loves flaunting her chic Aviators from Ray-Ban and Robert Pattison, his cool Wayfarers.
There are two categories of people, the ones who love Ray Bans and the ones who don’t. For those who do, no reasons are required to sport one of these classic shades, and for the latter, give them a try. You won’t regret your decision.
