3 Reasons to get Aviators as your prescription glasses
On-trend
You think of aviators only as sunglasses, but there is an emerging trend of aviator prescription eyeglasses. Their oversized style and wireframes make them perfect for highlighting strong features and big eyes.
Fits most face shapes
Aviators work well with all kinds of face shapes. Even though they are large and distinctive, the narrow frame design makes them very adaptable. If you have a high description it's a good idea to choose a higher index of lens in the ‘lens option' section at checkout.
Timeless swagger
Aviator glasses are instantly recognizable. This frame style, as eyeglasses or sunglasses, adds a touch of attitude to any style. Wearing this frame conjures up images of fighter pilots soaring through the skies. Who doesn't want that vibe?

Prescription Lenses that darken in sunlight
Still not sure whether aviator glasses should be tinted or clear, why not both? Our aviators are available with transition lenses that lighten or darken depending on the surrounding light level. To add this feature choose ‘light adjusting' at checkout for your eyeglasses.
Lens coatings for your aviators
If you are outdoors often, UV protection is a great choice of lens coating. It's totally invisible and great for reducing the long term damage caused by unfiltered sunlight. Due to their large size, adding an anti-reflective coating when choosing your lens is a good idea to eliminate unsightly reflections.

How to Wear Aviator Sunglasses?
Aviators don’t necessarily look good on everyone. Thankfully, they will work on most face shapes and are ideal for those with oval, square and heart-shaped faces.
What Clothing to Wear Aviators With?
Here are a few tips for what to wear and not to wear aviators with:
- Aviators work very well with casual wear.
- They also work well with most business attire that isn’t too flashy or formal. In other words, a blazer or odd combination with a casual flair
- Avoid flashy suits. Aviators can come across as garnish paired with a bold pinstriped suit or a jacket with peak lapels. Since aviators are quite bold, consider more subtle attire to pair them with.
- They don’t work well for formal affairs.
Will Aviators Suit Me?
As a rule of thumb, Aviator sunglasses suit heart, square and oval face shapes. However, there’s a chance they will suit those with other face shapes too! It’s all about making sure the lens depth and size suits your face.
