It’s been 34 years since the first ever Top Gun Movie and while much has changed, one thing remains the same. Ray-Ban’s iconic aviator sunglasses are still being rocked by Maverick (Tom Cruise) and consequently sales are soaring. Since their first appearance in the original 1986 picture, these frames have remained a timeless classic, and are now often referred to as the Top Gun sunglasses. To honour the occasion of the latest Top Gun movie (which we loved of course) we’ve decided to put together a round up of the best aviator sunglasses.

Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator

The Ray-Ban RB3025 Aviator is and always will be a classic. An iconic frame that’s paved the way for all the other aviators that have come after, these frames are the original Top Gun shades and combine style with optimal comfort and quality. Not only can you get these classic frames in gold with green lenses, but they are also available in many other colour combinations for those after a unique spin on the original. All lenses offer 100% UVA and UVB protection and are available with different lens coatings too. Choose from mirror, gradient, or polarised lenses.

FGC Robin C05 Light Brown Polarised

The FGC Robin C05 Light Brown Polarised sunglasses are an excellent choice of aviators for those who are looking for a stylish frame without breaking the bank. Similar to the Polaroid sunglasses above, these feature a rose gold frame and are paired with light brown lenses for a subtle contrast. We love these for their unique take on the aviator with their slight angular square shape lens.
