Aviator sunglasses are one of the most popular styles of sunglasses, both today and in the past (they are a timeless classic that have been around for decades). They never go out of style and always hold their own in today's ever-changing fashion trends.
Aviator sunglasses were initially developed for and worn by pilots. They have since become a popular favorite with police officers, the armed forces and celebrities. Aviator sunglasses were very popular in the 70's and were worn by Tom Cruise in the movie Top Gun in 1986. In more recent history they were worn by Philip Clapp aka Johnny Knoxville. Celebrities such as Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, Megan Fox, Hilary Duff, Drew Barrymore, Brad Pitt, Kiefer Sutherland, Simon Cowell, Billy Ray Cyrus and Slash (the list goes on but this gives you an example of their popularity) have been spotted wearing a pair of aviator sunglasses.
Aviator sunglasses are available in a variety of styles that appeal to people of all ages. Lenses come in a variety of colors such as black, brown or pastel with mirror coatings available on some styles with the most popular style being silver mirrored lenses set in a silver metal frame. There are many different frame colors available in metal or plastic construction with various lens and frame color combinations. This makes it possible to pick a pair that will fit almost any fashion look.
Sunglasses are a way to express yourself. They have become a fashion statement in the same way that handbags, shoes and hats are worn to express your personality. Aviator style sunglasses are just one of many popular sunglass styles available today, but they stand out as being one of the most desired styles.
It is very important to remember that sunglasses do have a purpose other than being able to make a bold fashion statement. Sunglasses are important first and foremost because they protect your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun. Aviator sunglasses have a large teardrop shape lens that helps prevent light from entering the eye providing excellent protection from the UVA and UVB rays. Protecting your eyes is very important and you should always look for UV400 protection when purchasing sunglasses.
