Aviator glasses

Aviator glasses

As an iconic frame design, pilot glasses prove to be a timeless style and yet as elegant as they are chic. For several decades, the aviator style has found its noble status in the design of the frame thanks to its iconic curvature and timeless lines. In both contemporary style and the interpretation of a vintage look, aviator glasses are an excellent choice under all circumstances.

Why choose aviator glasses?

The style

The flagship sunglasses of the 80s and 90s enchanted many people with their assertive style. Originally intended for pilots, this frame quickly became popular as both glasses and sunglasses. Even today, aviator glasses are well known for their recognizable appeal and timeless lines. In recent years, returning to the roots of the fashion trend has resulted in the aviator style being refreshed and has given it its iconic style today. The always trendy aviator frame gives your style an undeniable aesthetic. Whether you like vintage or just want to buy a sober and elegant frame, aviator glasses are the right compromise between simplicity and comfort. Recognizable among thousands, the signature of this pilot-style frame gives your outfit the good, chic side under all circumstances.

Comfort

As the name suggests, aviator glasses were initially designed for pilots who needed suitable frames to ensure good visibility from their cockpit. In other words, unlike other frame styles, glasses essentially offer an unobstructed view and make you forget the presence of frames on your face. Thanks to wider and longer lenses, the models offer a clean viewing angle and make them more comfortable in everyday life. This is one of the reasons for the great success of these frames. Add to this the good support of the face thanks to a well thought-out design, and you get a selection of frames that are suitable for everyone. Not to mention the presence of an adjustable notepads to help the frame sit on your face and prevent the frame from slipping.

Versatility

The real strength of aviator glasses is their versatility. The frame, which has been revised for all purposes, has been successful and now offers a standardized style for these diverse purposes. As an iconic accessory of elegance, they can be used in all circumstances. By choosing the right lenses, you get models without sacrificing the elegance and style of your glasses. However, the main argument lies in the timeless character of the style. Even if the trends pass, the iconic style of the frames always remains tasteful due to the timeless nature of this design.

The vote

The aviator glasses are very popular and offer a large selection that can be adapted to all facial morphologies. There are various versions available between pilots with rounded frames, rectangular frames or even half-edged versions, which inevitably meet your aesthetic and functional requirements. Depending on your taste and desire, there is a large selection of aviator glasses that even offer different sizes of frames and lenses that fit your facial features perfectly.

Different material selection for aviator glasses

Metal

Stainless steel is a common material in the design of metal glasses and gives a frame excellent strength. Stainless steel is also a good choice for making pilot style frames, and features a sleek frame and shafts that have contributed to the style's success. In fact, classic glasses are based on a structure with fine edges, which is surmounted by a support line between the lenses, which requires the use of materials that can be easily processed, such as. B. metal. Modern versions of aviator glasses use stainless steel because of its hypoallergenic properties and robustness.

Titanium

Titanium is an increasingly common material in the manufacture of frames. Titan is stronger than metal, but above all lighter and enables the construction of durable and flexible frames. While titanium frames were originally intended for athletes, the use of this material has now been democratized, and it is not surprising to find models of frames such as titanium aviator glasses. Titanium is mixed with other materials to give the frame better strength and limit the deformation of the frame. Titan is also hypoallergenic and is the first choice if you want permanent aviator glasses.

Plastic

Plastic or acetate are also substitutes for materials for the manufacture of glasses. Plastic frames are cheaper and trendier and offer a large selection of colours and patterns of all kinds. As a more modern interpretation of aviator glasses, plastic frames seduce with their more modern and trendy touch. These generally cheaper frames incorporate the design features of aviator glasses simply by offering a plastic version of them. The only difference is the thickness of the frame, which are thicker in the case of plastic glasses. These frames are a younger version of aviators and are intended for an audience that is definitely younger and looking for colour.

Aviator style for every face

Round face

A round face is characterized by an equality between the width and length of the figure, a small chin size and no sharp angles. The idea would then be to lengthen and refine the facial features by choosing an impressive frame in width. Aviator glasses with a rectangular rim are your first choice. You can also opt for dark plastic frames to give your face horizontality and lengthen your jaw. For a round face, aviators with thicker and more structured edges are also preferred. Overly rounded styles should be avoided at all costs as they increase the roundness of your face. This is the last thing you have to do.

The oval face

The oval face appears longer, despite the rounded chin. The forehead is slightly wider than the jawbone and the cheekbones are the most impressive part of the face. The idea would then be to adjust the proportionality of the face by choosing frames that are the same width as the face or even slightly larger. This type of face fits harmoniously with classic pilot glasses and their rounded and stretched rim. Your choice is large because you can choose either thin or thick borders with no color restrictions. The only detail that should not be overlooked is the selection of a frame, the upper part of which matches the lines of your eyebrows. Be careful not to choose frames that are too narrow or too large, as this could upset the aesthetic lines of your head.

Square face

The square area is defined by an equality of the width and length of the head. Enlarged cheekbones, a spread jaw and a wide forehead contribute to the verticality of the head, while the chin is also wide and angular. The straight features of your square face should therefore be brightened up by rounded shapes to soften and balance your entire face. Therefore, classic pilot glasses or rounded models adapt perfectly to the face shapes. Make sure to choose models with more or less thick edges that relieve the straight shapes of your figure. Dark colours are also preferred to mark the rounded lines of the aviator glasses. Models with angular shapes should be avoided.

The rectangular face

The rectangular face is elongated and, thanks to the alignment of the forehead, cheekbones and jaws, has a more or less pronounced vertical line. The broad and angular chin is involved in the linear sensation of the head. The goal is to widen the lines of the face to achieve verticality, preferring imposing frames. Pilot glasses with protruding frames are therefore the best choice for glasses if you have a rectangular face. When it comes to colour, choose natural tones that match your skin tone, although a dark colour does the trick. Narrow or rectangular glasses should be avoided when choosing frames.
