Aviator sunglasses are a unique type of eyewear that is distinguished by their big teardrop lenses. They were first introduced in the year 1936 and since then, have remained a very popular type of eyewear item.

There are different types of aviator sunglasses including classic aviators, plastic-frame aviators, square-lens aviators, and top-bar aviators.

The popularity of aviator sunglasses arises from the fact that you can wear them with most items of attire in your wardrobe. You can wear them with a tuxedo or a suit or with your jeans and T-shirt.

Aviator sunglasses are forgiving and will suit most face shapes. They are especially suitable for people with oval and square face shapes. If you have a round face, then choose aviators with a more squared-off design to balance your features.

When choosing your aviator sunglasses, you must ensure that their bridge sits comfortably on your nose and is neither too short nor too wide.

Aviator sunglasses should be matched with solid-colored clothing. Also, do not be afraid of adding your baseball cap when wearing aviators. They are also designed to withstand the elements and so can be worn with active sportswear.

Aviator sunglasses are also called pilot’s glasses. They were first developed way back in 1936 for pilots to protect their eyes while flying. This is how they got their name.

The main reason why aviator sunglasses have a bar on top is that the bar prevents sweat and debris from inhibiting your vision.
