Non-Boring Aviator Sunglasses to Fulfill Your Vintage Dreams
Shop these modern takes on classic aviator sunglasses.
When it comes to sunglasses, we often just want a pair that we can grab right as we’re heading out the door. That’s where aviator sunglasses come in. The universally-flattering style has a long-standing history, going from being synonymous with air force pilots to being worn by everyone from Elvis to Gloria Steinem to your dad, probably.
However, just because aviator sunglasses are a classic doesn’t mean they have to be boring. Brands from Celine to Chloé have reimagined the silhouette in a myriad of colors and materials, and we’ve put together a list of the best of the best.
These trend-combining sunglasses take the classic aviator up a notch with a narrower silhouette. They’re perfect paired with your best little black dress (and matching face mask) while gazing out across the sunset view at your favorite rooftop bar.
