Are you looking for a pair of sunglasses for men? Aviator sunglasses are the optimal choice as nothing else can beat it in terms of protection and fashion. These teardrop shades have kept up the hot trends for many years and remained a fashion staple for men and women around the world.

When modern aircraft reached a higher altitude, glare and freezing temperatures in the cockpit created significant visual problems for pilots to control the airplane while current googles reported impracticality. The situation demanded high-performance sunglasses to keep the pilot's eyes safe from intense sunlight during the flight in the high altitude. B&L, an American company, developed an excellent design that featured a teardrop shape, thin metal frames, double bridges, and paired with glass lenses that transmitted only 15% of visible light. The lenses were also made in curved shapes around 58mm in diameter to cover the entire eyes that helped reducing dangers by peripheral exposure and intense dazzle. It became famous and renowned among the people during world war II when they became the prime gear eyewear in the military both on the sky and ground. When General MacArthur landed on a beach somewhere in the Philippines,  his images with these aviators were captured and published in famous magazines around the world. These images became a lasting image of World War II that helps widespread the popularity of aviators throughout the world.

Affordable aviator shades can work great for both guys and girls. Their versatility is more than enough to ensure a great look whether you are running an errand or walking on the beach. They are also appropriate for any situation whether you’re wearing them corporate attires to the wedding ceremony or with blue jeans for the outdoor picnic.

Today aviator sunglasses can integrate with high-tech features as polarized and mirrored lenses for specific applications in water places or intense sunlight environments. Polarized lenses filter glare to enhance the visual clarity while mirrored lenses offer the best performance in bright sunlight.
