Ray-Bans have returned this season to welcome applause in the midst of higher-end, designer shades. Their iconic Wayfarers were first introduced to the world in 1952 being easily recognized with their iconic shape and sliver slivers on both ends of the frame.
Although commonplace today, Wayfarers masculine, plastic design made use of new advances in the synthetics industry at that time.
The stylish shades have since established a solid place in pop culture, being the poster glasses for Tom Cruise in “Risky Business”, staple shades of “The Blues Brothers” and shouting out in Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer” lyrics.
They are now back for Spring/Summer 07 as the company has re-launched the original style while adding the colors red and white.
These shades are a staple and great foundation for any sunglass collection. And best of all they can be had for under a buck.
