When it comes to summer sunglasses, nothing beats aviators. Trends will come and go, but aviator sunglasses will always be in style. This style originated in the 1930s and, as the name suggests, they were made for pilots. Fast forward to the new century, the aviator style gets an update with modern elements. The most distinctive features of aviator sunglasses are their thin wire frames and a double bridge, plus it’s one of the only styles of sunglasses that look good on every face shape.
So, whether you’re looking for beach sunglasses, accessorizing your outfit of the day, or looking for a fashionable way to hide the bags under your eyes, aviator sunglasses are a must-have accessory for every summertime occasion.
