The first mirrored glasses of the famous brand of optical instruments and lenses Bauch&Lomb saw the light in the 30s of the last century. Then the product was published for a limited range of consumption and was considered a strategic development for pilots. The novelty looked so stylish that the masculine image often fell on postcards and magazine covers, captivating the hearts of beauties. In addition, useful goggles protected the pilot's eyes from wind and sun glare.

As you might expect, aviator mirrored eyewear went into mass production shortly after its triumphant appearance. Since 1937, the reputable Ray-Ban brand has been releasing model number 3025 - and since then, sales have not fallen, only increasing. They have been given the catchy name Aviator, and the base model comes in silver and chrome frames.

It's been a long time, we will soon celebrate the centenary of the model, beloved by fashionistas and show business stars. Since then, mirrored glasses have multiplied and been copied by various brands, changing either the shape, the frame material, or the coating and color of the tint. Now both steel and golden, pink, bluish, orange tones are popular, and listing metal color options is simplydoesn't make sense.

And still, true aesthetes of style remain true to the classic combination: Ray-Ban mirrored glasses were seen on both Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt. The sexiest football player, David Beckham, likes to flaunt in them, and former French President Nicolas Sarkozy often amused people with his appearance. We'd better keep silent about Timati - this guy is changeable in his wardrobe, but we must give him his due - he has taste. Thanks to all these idols, the sales of "aviators" are growing exponentially every year, and the number of fakes is growing exponentially.

What is the real utility that mirror glasses have? The whole secret is in the opacity of the coating on the outside and excellent optical visibility from the inside. UV protection thus reaches UV400 - 4-5 times more than "ordinary" glasses. Another indisputable plus is that the model suits both girls and boys - a great reason to borrow part of the image from the second half.

The question becomes logical: are mirrored glasses suitable for everyone or are there prescriptions? Almost complete compatibility is ensured by the original design of the model, as well as the large size of the lenses, which hide both the look and minor imperfections on the face. Even round faces, which are notoriously difficult to frame, are perfect for DSLRs.

But mirrored aviator glasses are considered a real trump card for those who have a square, sharp line of the jaw and forehead. Visually narrowing andsmoothing the lines, this frame emphasizes the masculinity of the stronger sex and the mystery and self-confidence of the girls. Definitely not going out of fashion anytime soon, if that's even possible.

One more, but not the last piece of advice: you should choose the color of glass and metal based on the combination with the shade of your hair. That is when the owner will benefit from his purchase.
