If you wear sunglasses, chances are you have a pair of Ray-Bans in your collection!
Ray-Bans have been around since 1937, with the most recognized style being the Wayfarer, which were introduced in 1956.
Another style that’s perhaps as popular as the Wayfarer has to be the Aviators, which have dark reflective lenses, and very thin metal frames with a double or triple bridge and bayonet earpieces that hook behind the ears.
Both the Wayfarer and Aviators are considered to be the best-selling design of sunglasses.
Make senses, because Ray-Bans are sort of like status symbols, but swag symbols, no matter what the Ray-Ban preference.

And now that it’s the eyewear brand’s 75th anniversary, they’ve released the ambermatic collection, utilizing those photocromatic yellow lenses developed in 1978 that darken according to light and temperature. The ambermatic Ray-Bans are available in four styles — two Aviators, a Shooter, and a Outdoorsman. The collection will only consist of 18,000 models.
