In case you have noticed the influx of vintage looking shades on the streets lately, you are correct in your observation. And you just may have doubted the notion that you too could pull off this effortlessly-suave look, but I am here to tell you that is nonsense. Yes, you too can embrace this chic style and cover your peepers in a pair of these classic spectacles. In case you haven't figured out exactly what sunglasses I am referring to, give your memory a jog and think back to Bob Dylan, Miami Vice's Don Johnson, Tom Cruise in Risky Business, Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's, or even The Blues Brothers. Got it yet? Yes that's correct, I am referring to one of the forever epitomes of cool...the Ray-Ban Wayfarer RB2140 sunglasses.
When choosing a pair of sunglasses for yourself there are a variety of features to consider. The lens material, lens color, lens coating, UV protection, Visible Light Tranmission, frame type and so on are all important obviously, however once you get past the sensible considerations, you need to consider the next most important detail...how they look! The Wayfarers are a universally flattering style that makes just about any and every one look effortlessly cool. While these shades have somewhat of a masculine look, they can flatter just about any face shape male or female.
The Wayfarers are considered as one of the most recognizable styles in sunglass history. In 1952, Raymond Stegeman designed wayfarer sunglasses for Ray-Ban. The first wayfarers were the black frames that became iconic through celebrities of the time. Wayfarer sunglasses were very popular through the 1950s and 1960s and then hit a lull in popularity towards the end of the 1970's. However, the retro sunglasses made a comeback throughout the 1980's. We really didn't see much Wayfarer use in the 90's or early 2000's, however these classic shades are back and will be until us fickle fashionistas decide we are on to the next.
While classic black Wayfarers will never go out of style, Ray Ban also currently offers a contemporary color palette allowing you to display your own style and personality. And you can even go crazy and express yourself with the latest addition to Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses in the limited edition Rare Prints. These funky prints are inspired by themes that represent the essence of Ray-Ban’s history and style. While these Ray Bans are perfect for a day at the beach, they are yet chic enough to be paired with the most cosmopolitan of ensembles. Jump on board and buy a new pair in or dig out your old ones, but go ahead and sport your Wayfarers today.
