Pilot Sunglasses
The pilot shape, also known as aviators, are an iconic eyewear design with a rich history dating back to the 1930s. Originally developed by Bausch & Lomb for military pilots, the aviator frame was designed to provide optimal protection from the sun’s glare at high altitudes. The style features a distinctive teardrop shape, designed to cover the entire field of vision and protect the eyes, but as time has gone on more variations have been introduced.
Aviator sunglasses gained popularity after hitting the market in 1937, and their timeless appeal has persisted for decades. They became a cultural icon in the 1980s, largely due to their appearance in movies like Top Gun, and have remained a staple in both fashion and function ever since. Today, renowned brands such as Ray-Ban, Gucci, and Tom Ford continue to elevate the aviator style with luxurious materials, sleek finishes, and modern interpretations, ensuring this classic design stays at the forefront of fashion.
