The TOP 5 aviator frames for summer 2015

Though Aviators are one of the oldest designs, they are still very much in fashion, one of the most iconic sunglasses of all times. Aviators are considered as cool fashion accessories.
And with a design conceived for the cockpit, you will most certainly enjoy the view. One thing is certain: "pilots" will never go out of fashion.

They were asked by the US Army Air Corps to design sunglasses for pilots entering World War II for protection from sun glare, which was shown to cause headaches and altitude sickness. That was the start but then it can be said that they didn’t truly explode in pop culture until 1986 and for that, we have Top Gun to thank. Top Gun stars Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer as Air Force pilots who sport the frames during the movie. Since then aviators have been a staple of pop culture and fashion and are made by almost every brand imaginable.

Their secret, besides being a status symbol themselves, lies in the fact that they are perfect on oval (lucky who has one, choice is much simpler) heart-shaped faces and pretty much any face, either on him or her!

For summer 2015 these are the protagonists of the Aviators:
