These retro-inspired sunglasses are just $13, but they have all the features you want in a pair of on-trend sunglasses that still offer great protection. Both the lenses and the frames are made from lightweight plastic that weight just 28 grams, so you’ll barely feel them when they’re on. The UV400 lenses block 100% of both UVA and UVB rays, and you can choose from a wide variety clubmaster of colors and patterns for both the frames and the lenses. They’re sold both as singles and in two-packs, that way if you lose a pair, you can have another on hand. They come with a soft cleaning cloth, a soft bag, and a carrying case. SUNGAIT vintage round sunglasses promise UV400 protection with polarized lenses — plus, they boast a 4.7-star rating and over 11,100 reviews.

Luxottica masterfully combined the American image of Ray-Ban with modern production processes and made Ray-Ban the number one sunglasses brand. Peter Fonda wore Ray-Ban Olympian I Deluxe glasses in the movie “Easy Rider” , Clint Eastwood wore Ray-Ban Balorama sunglasses in the movie “Dirty Harry” . Not to forget the legendary Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses from the 1986 film “Top Gun”.
The advent of World War II called for further innovation in the development of sunglass technology. The Aviator was still used by the military for its pilots and B&L continued to improve the design to meet the needs of these high-performing pilots. In 1938 B&L released the Ray-Ban Shooter, specifically designed for rifle users, with a choice of green or yellow lenses. The yellow lenses were especially useful as they filtered out blue light, enhancing detail and minimising haze, so making it much easier for users to operate in misty conditions. The design also included a so-called ‘cigarette circle’ centre which allowed the wearer to keep both hands free, which has become the Shooter’s signature feature. The following year the plastic frames were replaced by metal ones.

Effectively, Google was surfing on the wave of its success and offering up a new toy that seemed to be inevitable — but had no clear use. “With Ray-Ban stories, you can stay focused on what you’re doing, and you don’t have to choose between being on your device and being fully present,” Zuckerberg says.
