In 1947, Shuron Ronsirs first released the browline eyeglasses. They were invented by their vice president, Jack Rohrbach. Their aim was to allow the owner of the eyeglasses to entirely modify and customize the size, the fit and the color of their glasses.
More than that, they come in at just over $100 which makes them a very affordable way of getting style and flair along with a classic look. The Ray-Ban RB3016 Classic Sunglasses have the small, classic frame of the original Clubmasters that hit the market many years ago. They have reappeared many times throughout the years, but I think the biggest difference between the current and previous versions is that these come in every color imaginable.
The design can often replicate the round sunglasses but used a lighter shade or altered plastic on the bottom to showcase the upper part of the frame. Many people believe that clubmaster sunglasses were first created in the 1950s. As mentioned earlier and at that time, they were known as browline glasses.
Even though lenses are the most expensive part, most designer sunglasses will charge you enormous amounts for the frames and place fairly basic lenses in them. They do let light in, so they’re not ideal for sporting or other activities that require real sun and wind protection. Clubmasters are an excellent pair of sunglasses to wear with business attire, but it still lend themselves perfectly to casual wear. However, it wasn’t until Bruce Willis wore the tinted lenses that Ray-Ban realized there was a market for a sunglass version. Immediately after seeing them on Moonlighting, Ray-Ban launched the first browline sunglasses, which they called the Clubmaster.
You can truly create a made-to-measure pair of sunglasses if you buy directly from Ray-Ban. Look for frames that work with your personality. These aren’t boring sunglasses, so while black is nice to have, a tortoiseshell with a gold lower frame is a great option for the stylish gentleman.
