Ray-Ban Glasses: Retro and Modern Models for a Unique Style

Ray-Ban, known for its iconic sunglasses with logo, offers a wide range of Ray-Ban glasses. From authentic retro style to contemporary designs, the Ray-Ban glasses collection provides a variety of options. Some of the brand’s bestsellers have even made a splash in cult films like the "Blues Brothers" or American series like "Miami Vice". All these models share a distinctive style that highlights your personality in a unique way.

The History of Ray-Ban: A Close Connection with Aviation

The origin of Ray-Ban glasses is closely tied to the history of aviation: the brand’s first pair of sunglasses was created in 1936 on the order of the U.S. Army. Pilots were looking for glasses to protect them from the glaring sun at high altitudes. The name of this first model was Aviator. Its success was overwhelming, and soon Ray-Ban glasses became standard equipment for many American pilots. In 1952, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer appeared on the market, another iconic model. Today, Ray-Ban glasses are a popular accessory among many sports, music, and film stars.

The Iconic Retro Quartet – From the Aviator to the Round Metal

For lovers of an iconic retro look, Ray-Ban offers its four retro Ray-Ban glasses models also in a prescription version. These Ray-Ban glasses with prescription lenses have the same cult appeal as their non-prescription versions – here’s an overview:

RX 6489: This aviator-style frame, closely related to the Aviator, has a distinctive silhouette with teardrop-shaped lenses, similar to the Aviator but with slightly thicker temples. Available in gold, silver, and bronze.
Ray-Ban Wayfarer RX 5121: Equally impressive as prescription glasses as they are as sunglasses. Without tint, this classic frame with trapezoidal lenses and plastic frame is particularly trendy for a classic nerd look, especially in its black version.
Ray-Ban Clubmaster RX 5154: With its 50s design, this frame is a real eye-catcher. Color variations range from classic black to horn imitations or even violet. All share the Browline design, which subtly highlights the wearer’s eyebrows.
Round Metal RX 3447: Its intellectual aura comes from the round lenses and delicate metal frame. This 60s design subtly evokes Woodstock and the hippie era. Available in gold, silver, and even black.

Timeless and Modern Ray-Ban Glasses

For those looking for a more modern design rather than a classic retro style, Ray-Ban also offers a selection of modern Ray-Ban glasses. Whether plastic or metal, square, oval, or round – there is a model for every taste. Discover three bestsellers from the current collection, universal Ray-Ban frames suitable for both men and women:

RX 7047: This rectangular frame with a full plastic frame gives both a striking and elegant look. Its lightweight design of only 17 grams guarantees optimal comfort. Available in black, horn-look, or transparent gray.
RX 6448: A full frame with large round lenses and a delicate metal frame in the Panto style. It gives an incredibly intellectual and light appearance thanks to its minimal weight. Available in various colors to suit any style.
RX 5114: This narrow rectangular model stands out with its double-layered acetate frame. The combination of strict black on the outside and a transparent inner layer creates a captivating visual effect. With a light weight of 22 grams, this frame fits perfectly thanks to its flexible hinges.
