Ray-Ban is undoubtedly one of the most easily recognizable sunglasses brands in the whole world. Not only because of their iconic lens shapes and sleek colourways but also because of the functionality of their shades.

That’s why since its founding in 1937, Ray-Ban sunglasses Australia never failed their most loyal fans and attracted newer followers. They do this by constantly challenging the norms and introducing game-changing styles while retaining the functionality and comfortability that we loved about Ray-Bans in the first place.

Over the years, Ray-ban had produced some of the most iconic sunglasses that stood the test of time. The enduring styles of these models are so evident that you’ll see people wearing these bad boys even decades after their release. Below are only some of them:

1. Iconic Round Ray-Ban

These sunglasses are the epitome of both retro and timeless. The iconic pair of Round Ray-Ban screams hippy in all its fine edges and got the attention of numerous legendary musicians.

With an option of 50mm or 47mm lenses, this model rose to popularity and became one of the go-to sunglasses for both casual and more outgoing events.

There’s also a lot of options for lenses that you can choose from. You can go for clear, polarized, or mirror lenses. Whichever suits your style!

2. Erika Ray-Ban

Whatever outfit or style you’re going for, Erika Ray-Ban can complement it flawlessly. This is mainly because of its almost unlimited range of colourways. You can go either full-on classy mode with its black variety or go hip and funky with their more colourful options like violet or baby blue.  

If you’ll look into it closely, the Erikas look slightly similar to a more popular model, the Wayfarers. The former is only less bulky than the wayfarers to make it look much daintier.

But chunky or not, Ray-Ban Erika is certainly one of the most beautiful pairs of sunnies you can wear!

3. Ray-Ban Wayfarers

The Wayfarers has one of the most recognizable frames in the sunglasses industry.

From James Dean to Audrey Hepburn, iconic Hollywood stars wore these equally iconic shades in some of their movies. This approval from stars easily turned these frames into legendary sunnies.

But more than its style and Hollywood-caliber fashion, the Wayfarers are also functional gears. This square-shaped model can protect you from harmful UV rays so you can keep your eyes in tiptop shape.

4. Ray-Ban Clubmaster

This 1950s-inspired model is a bespoke sunglasses that screams class and vintage beauty. The Clubmaster has clear lenses fixed on a rectangular frame and adjustable temples and nose pads, which make it easier to love.

Compared to the Wayfarers, the Clubmaster guarantees a more advanced UV protection due to the modern technology incorporated with the design.  

No wonder it’s one of the best-selling sunglasses in all of the sunglasses in history!

5. Aviators

Last and certainly not least. It’s not a Ray-Ban list without the Aviators. After all, this is the model that started everything.

For those who are not familiar with the Ray-Ban history, the Aviators are the actual prototypes of Ray-Ban’s legacy. It was the first sunglasses made by the company. It was originally meant for aviation use.

The military tapped the original makers of Ray-Ban to manufacture sunglasses for their pilots.

The goal was to produce shades that can cut down the glare that the pilots suffer from in the air. Fortunately, they delivered. Then this model skyrocketed from there.

And thanks to that, we still have the Aviators today. This only goes to show that with the right people and goals at the right time, an icon can be made.
