Aviator sunglasses are a style of sunglasses that were developed by Ray-Ban in 1937. They are characterized by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times the area of the eye socket, and metal frames with wire temples which hook behind the ears.They were given their name due to their oblique teardrop shape, which matched those of the smoked-lens flying goggles which Ray-Ban was then selling to the Army and Navy. Legend claims that the need arose for aviator-style sunglasses because military pilots found that sun and glare protection would be helpful to aid them during day missions and dogfights. The popularity of the glasses sky-rocketed as many celebrities began wearing the style of sunglasses. Notable wearers include M. Shadows, Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Madonna, Johnny Knoxville,Freddie Mercury, Steven Tyler, Axl Rose and Kanye West.
