Who does not remember Tom Cruise in Top Gun, the charming pilot Maverick with his stylish Aviator sunglasses? Well, we are talking about the 80’s, when the Aviators were already considered cool, but actually they have been in fashion for almost 80 years so far! Their history tells us that in 1936 the US government commissioned Ray-Ban to design sunglasses for the Air Force pilots, in order to protect their eyes while flying (and at the same time provide the comfort of light sunglasses instead of the heavy goggles they were used to wear). Since then Aviators became so fashionable that they seems to be eternally and universally chic. With their classic timeless style they are among those few stylish pieces that never go out of fashion. For that reason they are considered a must have/ great investment for both women and men who like wearing sunglasses, as they are able to ensure an immediate effortless and timeless chic touch to every look.
Chi di voi non ricorda Tom Cruise in Top Gun, l’affascinante pilota Maverick con i suoi eleganti occhiali da sole a goccia, anche detti “Aviator” (Aviator sta per “pilota dell’aviazione”)? Beh, stiamo parlando degli anni ’80, quando gli occhiali a goccia erano già considerati trendy, ma in realtà questo modello di occhiali è di moda da quasi 80 anni! La loro storia ci racconta che nel 1936 il governo americano commissionò a Ray-Ban la progettazione di occhiali da sole per i piloti dell’Air Force, per proteggere i loro occhi durante il volo (e allo stesso tempo fornire la comodità di occhiali leggeri al posto delle pesanti mascherine che usavano solitamente). Da allora gli “Aviator” sono diventati così famosi che sembrano essere eternamente e universalmente chic. Con il loro stile classico intramontabile, sono tra quei pochi pezzi raffinati che non passano mai di moda. Per questo motivo sono considerati un “must have”, nonchè un ottimo investimento, sia per le donne che gli uomini che amano indossare occhiali da sole, in quanto sono in grado di garantire un tocco chic immediato ad ogni look.

Tips & rules for Aviator shopping/ Consigli & regole quando si acquista un paio di Aviator
- When shopping for a new pair of Aviators stick to the classic design, any added element or particularly trendy version will probably do not last forever as the classic one./ Quando decidete di acquistare un nuovo paio di “Aviator” cercate di attenervi ad un design classico, in quanto ogni elemento aggiuntivo o versione particolarmente trendy molto probabilmente non durerà per sempre come il modello originale.
- The king of Aviators is Ray-Ban, of course, and you will always make a safe impeccable choice investing your money in a Ray-Ban Aviator, no matter how much you spend they will be forever, indeed. Anyway many designers have made their own version, so as long as it will be close to the original design you can choose any brand you like./ Il re di occhiali a goccia è Ray- Ban, e naturalmente, sclegliendo un “Aviator” Ray- Ban potrete essere certi di fare sempre una scelta impeccabile oltre che un investimento sicuro del vostro denaro; indipendentemente da quanto spendiate i vostri “Aviator” dureranno per sempre, sul serio. Ad ogni modo, molti designer hanno creato una loro versione di questo modello, e a patto che sia più simile possibile al modello originale potete scegliere qualsiasi marca preferite.
- I personally do not recommend the too much shiny versions with reflective lenses, if you want to make sure your investment will last all life long, but those versions are so trendy right now that if you love that style and they suit your style and personality you should consider those too, I am sure you won’t regret your choice in any case (maybe you could just change lenses later)./ Io personalmente non consiglio le versioni troppo brillanti con lenti riflettenti, se volete assicurarvi che il vostro sia un investimento duraturo, ma queste versioni sono così alla moda in questo momento che se vi piacciono e sono in linea con il vostro stile e la vostra personalità dovreste prenderli comunque in considerazione, sono sicura che non vi pentirete della vostra scelta in ogni caso (magari potreste semplicemente cambiare le lenti in seguito).
- With Aviators vintage is definitely allowed. The vintage ones will have more history and a lived glamour that is aligned with their soul. If you have an old pair (in very good conditions of course) that belonged to your relatives or parents go for it, clean it and wear it… they may look even more attractive then the new ones!/ Con gli occhiali a goccia il vintage è assolutamente consentito. Quelli d’epoca avranno più storia e un fascino vissuto che si adatta bene alla originale essenza di questo modello. Se ne avete un vecchio paio (in ottime condizioni , naturalmente), che apparteneva ai vostri parenti o genitori prendeteli, puliteli accuratamente e indossateli… potrebbero essere ancora più accattivanti di quelli nuovi!
If you do not own a pair of Aviators, I think you should consider to buy them next time you look for new sunglasses. For great deals online I recently discovered this site I suggest you to check out AllBrandsGlasses.com, that has great quality glasses including a wide selection of Aviators.
If you’ve got already your Aviators, which color are they? And most of all how much do you love them? Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below and have a great week end!
Se non possedete un paio di “Aviator”, penso che dovreste tenerli in considerazione la prossima volta che avete intenzione di acquistare un nuovo paio di occhiali da sole. Per delle ottime occasioni online recentemente ho scoperto questo sito a cui vi consiglio di dare uno sguardo AllBrandsGlasses.com, che ha occhiali di alta qualità tra cui una vasta selezione di Aviators.
Se invece avete già i vostri Aviators, in quale colore li avete scelti? E soprattutto quanto li adorate da 1 a 10? Fatemi sapere le vostre preferenze nei commenti qui sotto e buon fine settimana a tutti!
Bacio, Chiara

i love these kinda glasses frame but the pity is it never suits me …. yes big frames dont suit me 😦 great post !! but i wish … 😦
chiaracondemi said:
That’s ok, everyone is different don’t worry! Maybe you just need to try on smaller versions, Ray Ban does many sizes, or maybe they just do not enhance Your face shape. In that case better something else that something wrong!
FashionIsAllThat said:
I own a pair or Ray Ban aviators, the green lens with gold frames ones. I absolutely love them!

Nia said:
Aviators are absolute classic! And they look fantastic on most people but maybe not me. I feel they make look like law enforcement lol – don’t ask me why but maybe I needed your advice for choosing the pair, lol!
chiaracondemi said:
That makes sense and the fact that they are timeless cool does not mean that they look good on everyone, of course! However since there are different sizes and versions currently it may be possible that you just couldn’t find the perfect design for your face.
If you like any help feel free to ask anytime…;-)

Awesome salute to the aviators!
They are like the secret ingredient that makes everyone look good (kinda like a baseball cap, jeans and a t-shirt at a Sunday brunch!).
I have a pair of pink lensed Raybans and they are instant happiness, even on a cloudy winter day. Totally worth the purchase price.
Happy Weekend!

Mrs. Gaeul said:
I love aviators! I’ve been thinking of investing in a pair of Raybans but they are quite pricy and I’m scared I will break them since sunglasses are pretty fragile. I’m not the most careful with the pairs I own now. Maybe in the future!
chiaracondemi said:
Why not! And maybe you can check out the site I linked for great deals!
