Ray-Ban sunglasses are one of the most iconic brands in the eyewear industry and favoured for their timelessly stylish sunglasses which never fail to look effortlessly stylish and on trend. The brand is also the choice of many celebrities and fashion icons and the various styles are consistently making appearances at summer music festivals and high profile events.
Ray-Ban became incredibly popular during the 1950’s and being featured in an array of blockbuster movies only helped to create a further buzz. Since the early 1960’s, the collection has made numerous appearances in a wide selection of the world’s most iconic films. In 1961 the Wayfarer was seen on the ultra glamorous Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Other films whereby Ray-Ban’s have been featured include Donny Brasco, Reservoir Dogs, Risky Business, Blues Brothers and of course, Tom Cruise’s famous Ray-Ban Aviators in Top Gun.
In addition to film, Ray Ban is also synonymous with the celebrity and fashion scene. Fans of the brand include Brad Pitt, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Nicole Ritchie and Sienna Miller to name only a few. Music is hugely associated with the Ray-Ban brand and the recent revamped Wayfarers which have retained their original style but added a splash of vibrant colour, were a popular accessory at the recent iconic music festivals in 2009 including Glastonbury and V Festival.
The various styles of Ray-Ban sunglasses are complimentary to a variety of face shapes and style preferences. Colour is a key trend that the brand has focused on and has subsequently re-launched a selection of classic styles but with bold and vibrant coloured frames to keep the look current and on trend. The classic Wayfarers for example have been reintroduced incorporating funky patterns on the inner arms section such as a pink floral pattern with white acetate frames as well as striking block colours including blue, red, yellow and purple as well as classic black. Of course, Ray-Ban consistently launches brand new designs including a slick wraparound style that is a little smarter than typical wraparounds and available in a selection of various colours with the iconic Ray-Ban logo is positioned on the arms. Ray-Ban has also updated their aviator style which is made from unique Ray-Ban Tech carbon fibre arms and polarised silver lenses and are a great example of using the most innovative of production techniques and materials to create an incredibly high quality product.
Ray-Ban is one of those brands that will always be popular because people like the fact that it has an interesting history and the designs are fun, flattering, simple and very easy to wear with a variety of looks and perfect for that thrown together chic style. Ray-Ban sunglasses today are one of the most stylish and trendy but in addition provide the best eye protection and durability which was the purpose of why they were originally designed.
