Ray Ban Sunglasses

Ray Ban sunglasses are world famous since they have become iconic. They have a long history and long success. Now the company belongs to the Italian company Luxottica, and started as an American brand.

In the early 40s, two models literally conquered the world: these are the well-known “aviators” and Wayfarer, which means “traveler, wanderer”. The peak of popularity came in the 80s, in those days, Ray Ban glasses appeared in films more than sixty times. Well, nowadays, except in celebrity, this accessory has been seen even by the president of our country.

Actually, the brand name itself can be translated as "not transmitting rays." To ensure this property, technology was taken as a basis, the details of which have not been disclosed for more than half a century. This also determines the popularity of glasses. All the technologies used take their roots from developments for the military industry. After all, “aviators” were massively supplied to US Air Force pilots for many years.

The importance of sunglasses for pilots is difficult to underestimate. The brand holds the highest bar to this day. For example, he was the first to use a special optical glass that can reflect shine and cut off infrared rays. Therefore, it is now believed that Ray Ban is the standard among sunglasses.

The polarized lenses used in the production have an extremely high ability to reflect bright light reaching up to 100%. These lenses also protect against “blue light”, which is dangerous for the human eye. For Ray Ban glasses, photochromic lenses with special properties of brown and gray glass, as well as mirror and interchangeable lenses, can be used. Releases brand and glasses with diopters.

Reviews about the quality and degree of eye protection are always enthusiastic. It is no coincidence that Ray Ban is the best glasses in the world.

In most cases, female and male models are difficult to distinguish.This brand prefers to produce an accessory that is equally well suited to everyone - still a classic. The most popular styles remain:

• Ray Ban Aviator. These are the most famous glasses. Today, they have many variations of performance. They can be with a golden and silver frame, with the usual dark glass or with a colored mirror. The shade of the mirror glasses ranges from pink to green. If you choose this model, then you will not be able to go unnoticed.
• Wayfarer Original and Wayfarer New became the first model of glasses with a plastic frame. At one time it was a very daring step, since until now dark glasses were made only in a metal frame. For the new model, polymer casting technology was applied. In order for the novelty to have a deafening effect, a special trapezoidal design was developed that catches the eye. This model can be seen on Audrey Hepburn in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's." The bomb exploded - a little daring, innovative glasses remain popular until now. They are preferred by people with an active, active character.
• Clubmaster Love stars, politicians and intellectuals. It is simply impossible to list all the adherents of this more modern, but no less universal model. These are actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Lindsay Lohan, Tom Hanks, and representatives of the music industry Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Farrell Williams. Countless times heroes of films appeared on the screen with these glasses. The design is different in that the upper part of the frame goes clearly along the line of the eyebrows and is made of plastic. And the lower part has a thin metal edging. This combination of two materials has become the main trump card, as it looks stylish and elegant.
• Carbon Fiber - carbon fiber model of glasses made of incredibly durable and lightweight carbon fiber. By their weight, carbon frames are two times lighter than aluminum and five times lighter than iron. The main feature of this model is its increased strength. The frame consists of several layers of carbon fiber impregnated with a special resin. Monoblock hinges provide additional mechanical strength to the joints. The lenses were matched to match, they also have increased impact resistance. Ease of wearing provides the most anatomical shape of the frame.

Of course, such an incredible popularity of Ray Ban glasses provokes a large number of fakes. What should you pay attention to when making a purchase to be sure that you are purchasing the original?

Firstly, in different places you should meet subtle engraving in the form of the letters "RB". For example, they can be on glass, on nose stops and on the inside of the rim of the bridge of the nose bridge. Engraving on the glass is felt to the touch.

Secondly, the original models use only real glass, not plastic. Therefore, the glasses in the hand seem heavy.

Thirdly, Luxottica engineers specially designed for Ray Ban glasses a special mount design that is too difficult to repeat. It is typical only for models of this brand, therefore, when compared with other brands, there should be no coincidence.

If the frame of your chosen Ray Ban style is plastic, then there should be no seams on it. Their presence indicates the cheapness of production processes, which means fake quality. Real frames of this brand are polished within ten days.

Pay attention to the quality of the case. It has a pronounced texture and a clear mark on which the letters are easy to read. You will also find the Ray Ban logo on the clasp button. Inside the cases have a velor texture. The front part is more durable than the rear - this is done specifically to protect the glass.

Packaging Ray Ban glasses is never easy. They try to put special napkins for glass care in the box, voluminous books: not only instructions, but also advertising leaflets with photos.

Sunglasses need to be selected, of course, according to the shape of the face. Basic Rules:

1. Square face. Your ideal glasses are big, round and aviators. We exclude from the wardrobe miniature models or repeating the contours of your face. That is, we do not wear square styles under any circumstances. Geometric, pointed lines will not decorate you either.
2. Oval face. It is considered ideal in terms of proportions. This form is difficult to spoil, but a number of precautions are still better to take. For example, you do not need to overload the image with too massive a frame. And also do not violate the proportions by wearing too small dark glasses.
3. Round face. It’s better to stretch it out a bit to look more harmonious. Therefore, we pay attention to square-shaped glasses, with thin arches and "cat" models. You can afford to experiment with bright options for frames, as well as with an emphasis on the top line of glasses. It is worth avoiding wearing round shape and too narrow models.
4. Heart-shaped face. You will be decorated with rounded glasses, thin or missing frames, the “aviators” model, as well as light colors for glasses and temples. Need to be avoided: large frames, square and “cat” shaped glasses, bright colors in the design. Make sure that the frame is below the eyebrows. It will suit you very much.
5. The triangular shape of the face. It is important not to weight the bottom. To do this, choose half models, where the frame is present only at the top of the glasses. It can also be an additional decor on the top.

To do this, just remember that the Aviators model has only three sizes: 55, 58 and 62. The smallest - 55, designed for teenagers, miniature girls or for those with a narrow face. Size 58 is versatile enough. This is an average size suitable for most people. Size 62 is designed for large men with wide faces or women who prefer an oversized style.

Traditionally, the vast majority of Ray Ban models come in a mid-58th size. Other options can be found only in the most running series of points.

There are also three sizes for the Wayfarer model: 47, 50, 54. They are similar in purpose to those described above. For the Wayfarer New model, two sizes are created - 52 and 55. The 55th is considered more universal.

On its official website, the brand has posted a special tool to determine the optimal size for you using a webcam. Using it, you can experiment in absentia with the shape, color and size of dark glasses. And after that, already prepared, go in search of the right model

Due to the fact that most models of this brand are a recognized classic, you can wear them with everything. Without exaggeration. They can look equally good both in rough grunge-style looks and in romantic sets with a floral dress. Classic, military, sports style, romance, retro, preppy, boho, lady like, casual - here is an approximate list of styles in which these glasses are appropriate.

It is more important to choose a color for an effective image. A good move is when the accessory is selected not to match the main outfit, but suitable for any element. For example, the color of a handbag, belt, shoe or nail polish echoes the shade of the lenses on the glasses.

Otherwise, boldly experiment. Overdoing will not work. Ray Ban glasses will always add zest and attractive mystery.

Consider a number of memorable female images with the most cult model “aviators”:

1. In this vivid image, the glasses act as an independent accent. For the preparation of a summer, spectacular bow, the basic black and white colors were taken, which were complemented by red trousers and blue glasses. Of jewelry there is nothing more. Glasses here are the main accessory. Easy playfulness is added only by coloring with polka dots on the bag. Makeup is chosen as natural as possible so as not to overload the image.
2. On the contrary, a monochrome combination in clothes.The main color is black, which together with a gray coat of a classic cut looks status. To ensure that the bow is not too strict, it is complemented by jeans and high black boots. Aviator glasses elegantly complete the look.
3. Set in urban style with a touch of romance. Here we use the technique that we talked about above - color accents are placed. The original, fashionable top with zipper and delicate sleeves has a blue tint in color. Mirrored glasses with blue lenses were matched to his tone. The result was a stylish, fresh, feminine and unbanal bow.

In conclusion, I would like to note that the Ray Ban brand to this day remains the innovator who sets the tone in fashion for sunglasses. Rarely, but aptly, designers and engineers of the company manage to create high-tech models of a unique design that invariably become classics of the genre.
