Ray Ban Still Rocks!
Ray Ban is an all American brand that completely depicts the essence of American trend. The look of the range of sunglasses is classic yet fresh, and chic but fun. Originally designed in 1937, Ray Ban sunglasses were intended solely for the purpose of protecting the eyes of those in the military forces. They soon became quite the fashion accessory however, especially during the Second World War.
Ray Ban sunglasses are all about attitude yet are one of the most functional brands available by providing the ultimate in eye protection. In the earlier days, they became particularly popular following being featured in a selection of Hollywood films. Indeed, we may remember the likes of Will Smith sporting them in ‘Men in Black’ and Dan Aykroyd in the hit movie ‘The Blues Brothers’ but the glasses were actually also seen in early classics such ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ in 1961. Tom Cruise was partly responsible for making Ray Bans popular with the younger market after wearing them in his first movie ‘Risky Business’.
The Wayfarers are one of the most recent and renowned styles but Ray Ban aviators and the classic wire
styles are also immensely cool and chic and have a rather effortless retro look. The most recent fashion forward public figure to be seen wearing the brand as none other than the ultra trendy Barack Obama. The Jonas Brothers are also fans.
