Look Good with RayBan Sunglasses

Founded in 1937 by Bausch & Lomb, Ray-Ban sunglasses are the world's best selling sunglasses. They were initially made for lieutenant John MacCready who asked them to make a pair of sunglasses that would protect his eyes from the sun but with a great look. Originally popular among United States Air Force pilots, they became a designer fashion brand in the USA when General Douglas strode on to a Philippines beach wearing Ray-Ban eye wear during World War II. Today, the sunglasses are seen in hundreds of films and are popular among celebrities. Ray-Ban is a leading brand of high quality eye-wear and combines great styling with quality and comfort.

A clean cut design and high quality materials ensure that Ray-Ban sunglasses are the most popular sunglasses on the planet. Rayban Style Ray-Ban has two of the world most imitated sunglasses in its classic range - the Wayfarer and Aviator. The name of the Aviator sunglasses arose because of the oblique teardrop shape of the lens.

Naval aviators found that the oversized sunglasses would help to hide the white skin under their eyes caused by wearing goggles during flying. The bar across the nose also held a cigarette in place. The glasses are designed to cover the entire eye and to stop sunlight from reaching the eye from between the glasses and the face. In 1952, sunglass designer Raymond Stegeman invented the Wayfarer for Baush and Lomb. The first pair of eyewear to use plastic, it was a radical new look.

Despite being designed to be popular among pilots, the Wayfarer surprisingly became popular among females. Celebrities such as Kim Novak and Marilyn Munroe began to wear the new sunglasses and once Audrey Hepburn wore a pair in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" the eyewear was sealed as a women's designer style.
