The bright sun of this summer is increasingly pushing the idea that it would be nice to get new sunglasses. Despite the fact that the choice largely depends on the individual characteristics and preferences of a particular person, many people prefer to wear drop glasses. Moreover, this trend has existed for so long that this form of frame can quite rightly be considered a classic. But are they in fashion now? This is a question you often ask yourself every time you see them on a stylish person.

A bit of history

Points-droplets, like most of the trendy things, came to us from the USA. One of the first prototypes of this form was created back in 1930 by Bausch & Lomb by special order of one airline for its pilots. Therefore, drop glasses have another name that not everyone knows about: aviator glasses. The first models used green glass, and because of this, the image looked sharper. Mydrop glasses gained popularity in the same 30s, after General D. MacArthur, famous at that time, began to wear them.

It was then that mass production was launched, and from that time on, everyone could buy them. In the 70s, this form of glasses became very popular among movie stars. And later, fashionistas from the capital, who wanted to be like their idols, began to wear them. Nowadays, the development of Internet technologies allows you to choose and buy such glasses to order, without going out into the sun for a long search for the model you like best. It is worth noting that, according to tradition, real, classic "aviators" are produced by Luxottica under the Ray-Ban brand. Their lenses are made of glass, and although this is far from the most optimal material today, sales of this brand all over the world are steadily growing.

Variety of shapes

Characteristic features of the "droplets" are a straight frame with a thin bridge on the bridge of the nose, curved wide temples and elongated teardrop-shaped lenses. Aviator glasses are made in such a variety of variations that each person can easily choose the shape that suits his style. Those who prefer the classics will certainly like the thin metal frames with wide temples, disco fans can choose colored plastic frames, etc. In addition to the fact that you can choose glasses with your favorite shade (blue, brown, green, dark gray, gradient, etc.), you can also order mirrored glasses - they look amazing!

Benefits

This form of sunglasses has a lot of undeniable advantages:

1. Versatility. "Droplets" are suitable for absolutely everyone, regardless of gender and face shape.
2. Great combination with any outfit. Whether you're wearing a t-shirt, jeans, a cocktail dress or a business suit, you can be sure that aviators will suit your style.
3. Popularity. Such an accessory will never go out of fashion and will always be relevant, regardless of what the frame manufacturers will invent.

Sunglasses are also a great way to prevent the appearance of expression lines and protect your eyes from ultraviolet radiation and too bright sun.
