The sunglasses every wardrobe needs: the classics that never fade, the modern icons, and one pair for every day.
Chapter I: Classics that never fade
Two Ray-Bans have outlived every trend. The Wayfarer, launched in 1952, with a bold acetate shape that suits almost every face. And the Aviator, Ray-Ban’s first sunglass, made for pilots in 1937: thin metal, teardrop lenses, instantly put together.
- Original Wayfarer RB 2140 — $179.99
- Aviator RB 3025, gold or black — $159.99
The modern twist: the Mega Wayfarer RB0316S ($179.99) is the same icon, chunkier and softer. A modern classic.
The It Pair: Prada Symbole
Sculpted black acetate, a wide lens and the triangle logo set into chunky, faceted arms. That triangle first appeared in 1913, on Mario Prada’s steamer trunks. Since the Symbole line arrived in 2021, it has become the Prada sunglass you see everywhere. Shop the Prada PR 10ZS — $359.99
Chapter II: The modern icons
The Celine Triomphe era gave us a new kind of classic: a soft oval in glossy acetate or fine metal, finished with the gold Triomphe logo on the arms. Polished, a little Parisian, and already a forever pair.
- Triomphe 01, black — $329.99
- Triomphe 01, Havana — $319.99
- Triomphe Metal — $369.99
Then comes Miu Miu, Prada’s playful younger sister. The SMU 11ZS is a slim square in glossy black acetate with a fine gold detail at the hinge: small, sharp and very now. For the same mood in metal, Prada’s PR B54S comes in gold or silver.
- Miu Miu SMU 11ZS Square — $349.99
- Prada PR B54S, gold or silver — $339.99
Chapter III: Everyday optical
Tom Ford makes the frame you forget you are wearing, until someone compliments it. Bold acetate, the metal “T” at the hinge, black or tortoise. Add your prescription, or choose a clip-on so one pair covers the whole day.
- TF5853-D-B, tortoise — $249.99
- TF6006-D-B, black — $289.99
- TF6038-F-B, black — $279.99
