AN ODE TO THE AVIATOR

Aviator glasses are perhaps the most iconic eyewear shape in the world. They’ve been around for over a century, having a distinctive design, which traditionally includes a thin metal frame, a double bridge and teardrop-shaped lenses.

Originally developed in the 1930’s as sunglasses for pilots, the iconic styling of aviator glasses has passed the test of time. Aviators were designed to replace the bulky goggles worn by military pilots, which would frequently fog up at high altitudes. Their lightweight metal frame and brow bar could easily fit under a helmet and their teardrop lenses covered the wearer’s entire field of vision.
