The bright sun of this summer is increasingly prompting the idea that it would be nice to buy new sunglasses. Despite the fact that the choice largely depends on the individual characteristics and preferences of a particular person, many prefer to wear droplet glasses. Moreover, this trend has existed for so long that such a frame shape can rightly be considered classic. But are they in fashion now? You often ask yourself such a question every time you see them on a stylish person.
A bit of history
Drops, like most trending things, came to us from the USA. One of the first prototypes of this form was created back in 1930 by Bausch & Lomb by special order of one airline for its pilots. Therefore, droplet glasses have another name that not everyone knows about: aviator glasses. The first models used green glass, and thanks to this, the image looked sharper. Glass droplets gained their popularity in the same 30s, after they were worn by the then-famous General D. MacArthur.
It was then that they launched a mass production, and from that time on, everyone could buy them. In the 70s, this form of glasses became very popular among movie stars. And later they began to wear and metropolitan women of fashion who wanted to be like their idols. Nowadays, the development of Internet technologies allows you to choose and buy such glasses to order, without going into the sun for a long search for the most liked model. It is worth noting that, according to tradition, real, classic “aviators” are manufactured by Luxottica under the Ray-Ban brand. Their lenses are made of glass, and although this day is far from the most optimal material, sales of this brand around the world are constantly growing.
Variety of shapes
Characteristic features of the "droplets" are a straight frame with a thin jumper on the bridge of the nose, curved wide arms and elongated drop-shaped lenses. Aviator glasses are made in such a variety of variations that each person can easily choose the appropriate form for his style. Those who prefer the classics will surely like a thin metal frame with wide earhooks, disco fans can choose a colored plastic frame, etc. In addition to the fact that you can choose glasses with your favorite shade (blue, brown, green, dark gray, gradient, etc.), you can also order mirror droplets - they look simply amazing!
Benefits
This form of sunglasses has a lot of undeniable advantages:
- Universality. "Droplets" are suitable for absolutely everyone, regardless of gender or face shape.
- Great combination with any clothes. Regardless of what you are wearing: a T-shirt, jeans, a cocktail dress or a business suit, you can rest assured that the “aviators” will perfectly suit your style.
- Popularity. Such an accessory will never go out of fashion and will always be relevant, regardless of what frame manufacturers will invent.
In addition, sunglasses are a great way to prevent the appearance of facial wrinkles and reliably protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation and too bright sun.
