What are the classic Ray-Bans called?
1 Answer

What the classic Ray-Bans are called depends on their design, as the American eyewear maker is well known for producing two distinct sunglasses. The first is the Aviator, which features a curvy metal wire frame and a double bridge design, and the second is the Wayfarer, featuring a cellulose propionate plastic frame with square lenses. Ray-Ban introduced the Aviator sunglasses in 1937 and unveiled the Wayfarer in 1952. Explore an assortment of Ray-Ban sunglasses on 1stDibs.
