5 Most Iconic Ray-Ban Sunglasses

July 25, 2021 · Leave a Comment

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. Ray-Ban 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 that 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.

I love a larger screen laptop for presentations, photo editing and streaming movies, so I often use a 17.3-inch screen laptop at school and work. But finding a professional bag that fits my 17.3-inch laptop is difficult, especially when carrying other gear. The Estarer Laptop Messenger Bag is made for both professionals and students and holds my large laptop and tablet, plus my gear, supplies, notebook, and water bottle. It’s roomy without being cumbersome or heavy and has numerous compartments and pockets to securely hold everything I need to take me through the day at from work to school.

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN

Made with a thick, durable, water-resistant canvas, it has both a top handle and a rugged adjustable shoulder strap, up to 25.3 inches in length, so the bag can be worn across the body if desired or hung by the shoulder.

The adjustable strap allows for wearing the bag off the shoulder or cross body

The stitching is well done with no loose threads and it is made with quality materials without shortcuts. For example, the connection between the bag and strap is metal, not plastic. The shoulder strap leather is well stitched and thick and bears the weight well.

Finally a case that can hold my 17.3-inch laptop and other wares, books and equipment at the same time!

MY EXPERIENCE

I was able to carry not only my laptop but a 3-inch binder notebook, a textbook, my tablet, and my water bottle all in separate compartments.

The front slit pocket fits a tablet, passport, a phone and wallet

A roomy compartment holds books and a binder

Laptop, binder, textbooks, notepad and tablet compartments

The front flap holds my ID in place so I can swipe scan into the secure access only buildings without having to remove my ID from the case, which is convenient when I am carrying coffee or rushing around work or school.

I like that I can carry everything I need for a full day of work or school or travel. There are two water bottle pockets which means I can carry a water bottle for during the day and another bottle for the gym, or a water bottle and a thin coffee thermos. This is more convenient than waiting in line for coffee before a class, yet the bottles are safely kept away from my laptop, papers, books, and equipment.

Large roomy compartment has multiple pockets for finding items quickly

I could also fit a scarf in my bag in case the weather gets chilly.

The bag is highly durable, even when I overstuffed the bag, the shoulder strap bore the weight and the bag did not rip. The top handle is sturdy and comfortable to carry the bag without chafing.

Long adjustable shoulder strap is ideal for travelers, college students, and professionals for carrying lots of gear

The back could be used for an overnight trip. I could fit my makeup and toiletries into the back pocket, socks, spare t-shirt, flat shoes, tablet, small hairdryer, and my camera, etc.

I particularly like the double security of both the velcro over flap and the zippered top compartments to keep the contents of the bag secure from theft, loss, or the weather.

CONCLUSION

A highly versatile bag that can carry a 17.3 inch laptop, water bottles, paperwork, books, a notebook, a camera, a thermos, and boasts an abundance of pockets including an overlap with quick access to important items like the built-in key ring, pen holder, and ID holder, this water-resistant messenger bag is ideal for a college student or someone who travels a great deal for work. It is also very useful for someone who likes to work in a cafe and carry with them all the supplies they might need during the day. The rugged shoulder strap is adjustable, making it easy for both women or men of various heights to wear the messenger bag across the body for maximum ease and security.

Holds everything I need for a long day of classes: my 17.3-inch laptop, a three-inch binder notebook, water bottle, pens, pencils, ID, a scarf, my tablet and more
