These classic aviators have hardly changed since they first hit the market — and that’s the way we like them. They feature polarized lenses, 100 percent UV protection and come in three sizes and tons of colors to perfectly suit your face.

“I bought these for the beach and boat on the ocean, the amount of glare that they cut out is amazing, the clarity is amazing,” a happy shopper wrote. “They also look really good, I am late 40's and my 14 year old daughter keeps trying to steal them, that says a lot.”

“I absolutely fell in love with these. I received many compliments from my friends, commenting that they had a distinguished look,” says a five-star reviewer. “The glasses feel absolutely great, and I feel very confident going out with them.
