5 Timeless Sunglass Styles That Never Go Out of Fashion

In the world of fashion, trends come and go, but certain styles stand the test of time. When it comes to picking out your shades, finding a pair that elevates your style while maximizing your comfort is essential. At Detour Sunglasses, we understand the importance of classic styles that never fade away. Here are five sunglass styles that will never leave Vogue and are featured in our store:

Aviator Sunglasses:

The Aviator sunglasses have become a universal symbol of American fashion. Defined by its teardrop shape, thin metal frames, and minimalist design, they are the perfect bridge between functionality and fashion.

Aviator sunglasses were originally designed with utility in mind; drafted in the 1930s, the frame was created specifically for pilots. The shape allows for more complete eye protection from light, as it wraps around the face and eyes in a convex curve. And now we see this style everywhere, not just in the skies.

Wayfarer Sunglasses:

Wayfarer sunglasses emerged from the Ray Ban’s design studio alongside a new America. In the 1950’s, a time where people wanted bold, individual, and spirited eyeglass frames, the Wayfarer frame met the mark, and years later this eyeglass style still can be seen in variations on every street corner. This style serves as a hallmark in sunglass history, its bold silhouette inspiring many different renditions down the line.
