I Never Saw A Tattooed Guy Without A Cool Sunglass

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

The father of aviators sunglasses was Ray Ban, who created these practical shades for military use first and foremost. The design is easy to recognize by the very large dark lenses, metal frames hooked behind the ears with wire temples or pads. While at the beginning the famous teardrop shape characterized only  the military and maritime design, in time the fashion was adopted by the average consumer too. All sorts of details have been added to the initial model, but generally, fashion has preserved aviators sunglasses among the trendiest. Aviators sunglasses caught the public’s eye when General Douglas Mac Arthur started using them in World War II, making the subject of lots of snapshots at the time. Just imagine to have a very nice Angel Wings Tattoo combined with a cool sunglass.
