Aviator glasses (alternatively dubbed “pilot glasses”) may have first hit the eyewear scene back in the 1930s to protect pilot’s eyes while flying, but the classic frame shape regained mass popularity thanks to the ’80s hit Top Gun. While they tend to be associated with pilots (hence the name), police officers, and other service workers, they’re a surprisingly stylish and universally-flattering silhouette. While the ubiquitous design has had many moments in fashion and film, they were originally designed to protect as much as the eye from sunlight as possible, letting only 15 percent of light in through the lenses and offering supreme protection against glare.
Nowadays, they’re more of a fashion statement, than a partial, safety accessory, but because of their practical origins, they are a great choice for shielding your eyes from the sun’s damaging age, as well as preventing fine lines and crow’s feet that can often form courtesy of excess squinting. From the classic convex shape to modern spin-offs of the original design, there are plenty of metal, aviator-style sunglasses that flatter most face shapes, and that definitely never go out of style. Read on to see our favorite pairs below.
