Ray Ban Sunglasses

Ray Ban sunglasses are world renowned since they have become iconic. They have a long history and lingering success. Now the company is owned by the Italian company Luxottica, and started as an American brand.

In the early 1940s, two models literally conquered the world: these are the well-known “aviators” and Wayfarer, which means “traveler, wanderer”. The peak of popularity came in the 80s, at that time Ray Ban glasses appeared in films more than sixty times. Well, nowadays, except for celebrity, this accessory has been seen even on the president of our country.

Actually, the very name of the brand can be translated as "rayless." To provide this property, the technology was taken as a basis, the details of which have not been disclosed for more than half a century. This also causes the popularity of points. All the technologies used take their roots from developments for the military industry. After all, the "aviators" were massively supplied to US Air Force pilots for many years.

The importance of sunglasses for pilots is difficult to underestimate. The brand keeps the bar high to this day. For example, he was the first to use a special optical glass that can reflect the brilliance and cut off infrared rays. Therefore, it is now considered that Ray Ban is the benchmark among sunglasses.

Used in the manufacture of polarized lenses have an extremely high ability to reflect bright light, reaching up to 100%. These lenses also protect against blue light that is dangerous to the human eye. Even for Ray Ban glasses, photochromic lenses with special brown and gray glass properties, as well as mirror and interchangeable lenses can be used. Produces mark and glasses with diopters.

Reviews about the quality and degree of eye protection are invariably enthusiastic. It is no coincidence that Ray Ban is the best glasses in the world.

In most cases, female and male models are quite difficult to distinguish. This brand prefers to produce an accessory that is equally well suited to everyone - still a classic. The most popular styles remain:

• Ray Ban Aviator. These are the most famous glasses. To date, have many variations of performance. They can be with a golden and silver-rimmed, with the usual dark glass or with a colored mirror. The hue of mirror glasses varies from pink to green. If you choose this model, then you will not go unnoticed.
• Wayfarer Original and Wayfarer New became the first model of glasses with plastic frames. At one time it was a very bold move, since so far dark glasses were made only in a metal frame. For the new model was applied polymer casting technology. So that the novelty had a deafening effect, a special trapezoidal design was developed, which catches the eye. This model can be seen on Audrey Hepburn in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany”. The bomb exploded - a little cheeky, innovative glasses remain popular until now. They prefer to choose people with an active, active character.
• Clubmaster. They love stars, politicians and intellectuals. It is simply impossible to list all the adherents of this more modern, but no less universal model. These are actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Lindsay Lohan, Tom Hanks, and representatives of the music industry Bruno Mars, Beyonce, Farrell Williams. Countless times the heroes of films appeared on the screen in these glasses. The design differs in that the upper part of the frame goes clearly along the line of the eyebrows and is made of plastic. And the lower part has a thin metal edging.This combination of two materials has become the main trump since it looks stylish and elegant.
• Carbon Fiber - carbon model points from an incredibly durable and lightweight carbon fiber. By its weight, carbon rims are twice as light as aluminum and five times lighter than iron. The main feature of this model is its increased strength. The frame consists of several layers of carbon fiber impregnated with a special resin. Monoblock hinges provide additional mechanical strength. The lenses were chosen to match, they also have a high impact resistance. Convenience of carrying provides the most anatomic form of a frame.

Of course, such an incredible popularity of Ray Ban glasses provokes a large number of fakes. What you should pay attention to when making a purchase, to be sure that you are purchasing the original?

Firstly, in different places you should meet barely noticeable engravings in the form of the letters “RB”. For example, they can be on the glass, on the nose stops and on the inside of the rim of the bridge of the nose bridge. On glass engraving is felt to the touch.

Secondly, in the original models only real glass is used, not plastic. Therefore, glasses in hand seem heavy.

Thirdly, a special fastening design was developed specially for Luxottica engineers for Ray Ban glasses, which is too difficult to repeat. It is typical only for models of this brand, therefore, when compared with other brands, there should be no coincidences.

If the frame of your chosen style of Ray Ban is plastic, then there should be no seams on it. Their presence indicates the low cost of production processes, and therefore a fake quality. These rims of this brand are polished for ten days.

Pay attention to the quality of the case. It has a pronounced texture and a clear stamp on which the letters are easily read. On the buckle button you will also find the Ray Ban logo. Inside the cases have a velor texture. The front part is more durable than the rear - it is made specifically to protect the glasses.

Packing Ray Ban glasses is never easy. They try to put special wipes for glass care, voluminous books in the box: not only instructions, but also advertising leaflets with photos.

Sunglasses must be selected, of course, in the shape of the face. Fundamental rules:

1. Square face. Your ideal glasses are big, round and aviators. We exclude from the wardrobe miniature models or repeating the contours of your face. That is, do not wear square styles under any circumstances. Geometric, pointed lines also will not decorate you.
2. Oval face. It is considered ideal in terms of proportions. This form is difficult to spoil something, but a series of precautions is still better to take. For example, do not need to overload the image is too massive frame. And also do not violate the proportions, wearing too small dark glasses.
3. Round face. It is better to stretch it a bit to look more harmonious. Therefore, pay attention to the square-shaped glasses with thin arms and "cat" model. You can afford to experiment with bright options for frames, as well as with an emphasis on the top line of points. You should avoid wearing a round shape and too narrow models.
4. Heart-shaped face. You will be decorated with rounded glasses, thin or missing rim, model "aviators", as well as light colors for glasses and arches. Avoid the need: large frames, square and "cat" shape of glasses, bright colors in the design. Pay attention to the rim was below the eyebrows. It will go very well for you.
5. Triangular face shape. Here it is important not to weight the lower part. To do this, choose a half model, where the rim is present only at the top of the glasses. It can also be an additional decor on the top.

To do this, just remember that the model "Aviators" has only three sizes: 55, 58 and 62.The smallest - 55, is designed for teenagers, miniature girls or for those who have a narrow face. Size 58 is quite versatile. This is an average size suitable for most people. Size 62 is designed for large men with wide faces or women who prefer the oversized style.

Traditionally, the vast majority of models from Ray Ban comes in a medium size 58. The remaining options can be found only in the most running series of points.

For the Wayfarer model, there are also three sizes: 47, 50, 54. According to their purpose, they are similar to those described above. For the Wayfarer New model, two sizes were created - 52 and 55. The 55th is considered more versatile.

On its official website, the brand has placed a special tool to determine the best size for you using a webcam. Using it, you can experiment in absentia with the shape, color and size of sunglasses. And after that, already prepared, go in search of the desired model.

Due to the fact that most of the models of this brand is a recognized classic, you can wear them with everything. Without exaggeration. They can look equally good in coarse images in grunge style, and in romantic sets with a flowered dress. Classic, military, sporty, romance, retro, preppy, boho, lady, like, casual - this is an exemplary list of styles in which these glasses are relevant.

More important for the spectacular image to choose the color. A good move, when the accessory is chosen not to match the main alongside, but suitable to any element. For example, the color of handbags, belts, shoes or nail polish echoes the shade of the lenses on the glasses.

The rest boldly experiment. Overdo it does not work. Ray Ban glasses will always add zest and appealing mystery.

Consider a number of memorable female images with the most iconic model of "aviators":

1. In this bright image points act as an independent accent. To create a summer, spectacular bow, basic black and white colors were taken, complemented with red trousers and blue glasses. From jewelry no more. Points here - the main accessory. Easy playfulness adds only the color of the polka dots on the bag. Makeup is selected as natural as possible so as not to overload the image.
2. On the contrary, a monochrome combination of clothing. The main color is black, which, complete with a gray coat of a classic cut, looks status. So that the bow is not too strict, it is complemented by jeans and high black boots. Points "aviators" elegantly complete the image.
3. Set in the urban style with a touch of romance. Here we use the technique we have described above - color accents are placed. The original, fashionable top with a zipper with delicate sleeves has a blue tint in the colors. He picked up the same mirror glasses with blue lenses. The result was a stylish, fresh, feminine and nonbanal onions.

In conclusion, I would like to note that the Ray Ban brand remains to this day the innovator who sets the tone for sunglasses. Rarely, but aptly, designers and engineers of the company manage to create high-tech models of unique design, invariably becoming classics of the genre.
