I buy and get given a lot of sunglasses but not matter how much I like them I always go back to my Wayfarers not because for the last god knows how many summers they have been the choice shape for the scenesters but because they are iconic. The Ray-Ban Wayfarer has been around since 1952, featuring a distinct shape that’s enjoyed waves of popularity throughout its history — highlighted by peaks in the ’50s and ’80s and obviously the last couple of seasons. It’s hard to improve on a classic, but Ray-Ban has reworked the style with discreet hinges at the arms and bridge that allow the frame to be folded up into an ultra-compact form for easy stowing. The shades, in the traditional black or tort with the instantly recognizable Ray-Ban logo on the sculpted temple…perfect to put in your pocket when that day session turns into night as well because no one likes a twat in a club wearing sunglasses!
