As the summer is well upon us, and holiday season begins it's time to assess the sunglasses situation. With so many styles and brand sit's difficult to know which ones to choose. I mean which colour to get? Which style will suit you? Which brand is worth your money? Here at The Gentlemans Wardrobe HQ we narrowed it down to one cult classic......
The Rayban Wayfarer!!
Born in 1956, it's design was revolutionary due to people getting bored of the constant metal eye wear available on the market. They had their first boom in the 50's and 60's however there was a decline in the market come the 70's. Rayban decided to invest in a $50,000 mega deal with Burbank California which placed the Rayban Wayfarer in over 60 movies and television programs. Tom Cruises' wearing of the Wayfarer in the 1983 movie "Risky Business" marked the beginning of a Wayfarer phenomenon, 360,000 were sold that year alone.
Since then the Wayfarer has had it's ups and downs, the 90's didn't like them and its only been up until recently that the demand has returned for this iconic style.
The Gentlemans Wardrobe chose this pair of sunglasses as this summers must-have because unlike many other styles this styles suits all and there is a choice of colours and patterns, so there is a pair for everyone!!
Get shopping gents!!!!
