Aviator shape glasses

Everyone, of course, knows the expression "eternal classic". Aviator glasses are indisputably worthy of this status due to their almost 80-year-old popularity.

The first Aviator-shaped glasses were issued specially for pilots in 1937 by Bausch & Lomb, which registered a new Ray-Ban trademark in honor of the new model.

"Aviator" is also called "glasses - droplets" due to their shape. This design of glasses is explained by the need for greater protection of the eyes from glare and rays, and a reliable metal shackle ensures a good fit and fixation of points.

This accessory did not immediately become available to a wide audience, since only the military could afford it. But soon they became so widespread that even ordinary people could buy them.

Since then, their popularity has not faded. Another wave of relevance of this model came thanks to the Hollywood fighters of the 90's, in which the perfect addition to the "cool" style of the protagonist were just glasses - aviators.

To date, this accessory is incredibly fashionable! What can I say, even if world celebrities vied with their "aviators"? Passionate fans of this model are Victoria and David Beckham, Anjdelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Tiberleyk, as well as many other stars.

In addition, this model is offered by many manufacturers. In addition to the beloved brand of Ray-Ban, Polaroid company also produces aviator glasses. At a price they are more affordable, compared to the first, but their quality does not suffer from this.

Who are the aviators?

Originally intended for men, "aviators" firmly entered and entrenched in the women's wardrobe. This model of glasses is so universal that it perfectly suits both male and female faces. In addition, thanks to large lenses, these glasses are able to reliably protect the eyes from sunlight.

Considering the universality of this model of glasses, they should be carefully selected.

So, let's consider who the aviator points are going to:

  1. Owners of a square and heart-shaped face can safely choose classic aviator models, because their rounded form visually softens the sharp lines of a square face, and some asymmetry of the rim adjusts the uneven width of the face in the shape of the heart.
  2. Owners of the oval face can choose glasses - aviators in any style and any shape.
  3. But classic glasses aviators for the round face to select is not recommended, but it is better to give preference to "aviators" with angular lenses. They will make the face more clear and can visually narrow it.

Fashion Aviator glasses: the actual colors of frames and lenses

Initially, the aviators had either a black or a mirror-like color of lenses, but to date, color variants of lenses and frames are huge. The most popular in this season are colored aviators. Here we can refer as models with a variety of colored lenses (brown, purple, blue, blue, green aviator glasses), and chameleon glasses that can change their color depending on the ultraviolet light.

It should be emphasized that when choosing the ideal model of glasses, you need to consider both the shape and color of the frame. Stylists recommend, choose the color of the frames for glasses , depending on the color of the skin. For example, the classic golden frame is perfect for owners of swarthy skin and dark hair, while it is undesirable for blondes.

The main drawback of most of these glasses is their fragility, since usually the lenses of aviator glasses are made of glass.

As for frames, today they are made of light, plastic and hypoallergenic materials. And as decorative elements, wood and skin are often used.
