Ray-Ban Buy Sunglasses | Buy Sunglasses Online

Ray-Ban is one of, if not the top, sunglasses brands worldwide. With a stellar history of high-quality, high-class frames, these veritable giants are among our most popular brands for a reason. At SmartBuyGlasses Ireland, we stock hundreds of different classic Ray-Ban frame designs, including Ray-Ban Wayfarers, Ray-Ban Clubmasters, aviators and many more.

While they might have been founded in 1936 in Rochester, New York, Ray-Ban now base themselves in the fashion capital of the world, Milan. You might know them as a hugely influential and luxurious brand (and you’d be right),  but Ray-Ban’s origins are somewhat more utilitarian. 

In 1929, a USAAC Colonel, John A. Macready, needed some quality protective eyewear for his pilots. He partnered up with medical equipment suppliers Bausch & Lomb to create custom-designed aviation sunglasses. If you’re familiar with Ray-Ban’s top selling sunnies, you might have an idea about where this is going. 

Macready desperately needed sunglasses that would protect his men’s eyes from the blinding light levels at high altitude and not fog up. Visibility was a must. They developed a prototype in 1936, with plastic frames and glare-removing green lenses. The following year, they were made available to the public with sleek metal frames and their signature classic design, with Kalichrome lenses designed to sharpen details and minimise haze by filtering out blue light.

Since then, Ray-Ban have continued to innovate, introducing classy, preppy design classics like Wayfarers and Clubmasters that have remained popular for decades. Their speciality is mass-producing sunglasses while not skimping on quality – and it’s a speciality they’ve made an art form.

Ray-Ban Sunglasses: Our Top 2

• These Ray-Ban RB4165 Justin sunglasses, like Ray-Ban themselves, are a perfect mix between modern Italian luxury and vintage American design. With that oh-so-classic outline and translucent gradient frame, these full-rim shades are effortlessly stylish.
• These Ray-Ban RB3106 Clubmaster sunglasses are a design classic. Everyone knows what these are – and for good reason. Clubmasters are a clearly premium design with an exceptionally broad appeal; they suit casual laid-back fashion just as well as city slicking suits.

Ray-Ban Sunglasses: Hand-Picked Faves From Our Team

• These Ray-Ban RB2426 Clubround shades are an impressive fusion between different materials and colours. The classic green lenses stand in perfect contrast to the bright, saturated tortoiseshell frame uppers. We love the truly classic design here – if you’re looking for vintage Ray-Ban sunglasses, these come with our recommendation.
• These Ray-Ban RB3576N Blaze sunglasses are quite a departure from the Clubround model. They’ve got a striking iridescent all-lens front, which supersedes the classic Clubmaster-style frame. With thin metal frames and a unique design, these are our picks for a real pair of head-turners.

Face Shape: Top Tips from SmartBuyGlasses Ireland

If you have a square face:

You have a well-defined face with a wide forehead, strong cheekbones, jawline and chin. Your most prominent feature is mostly likely your prominent jawline. Round glasses or thinner frames would be a great contrast to your strong features and be better suited to you. All the curves can help soften your features and compliment your natural looks. We recommend round and oval frames, but aviators or pilot frames are worth a look too!

If you have a round face:

The typical features of a round face are wide foreheads, full cheeks and rounded chins. Your face is normally nearly equal in length and width. We recommend glasses with strong details and angles to contrast your soft features. By adding some contrast, your face can look thinner and longer. We recommend rectangular, butterfly and wayfarer frames.

If you have an oval face:

You have balanced features and high cheekbones, with a slightly narrower chin compared to your forehead. A lot of people consider this to be the most ideal face shape, with the most balanced proportions. People with oval-shaped faces are really lucky as pretty much any pair of glasses will suit them! However, you should be careful with oversized glasses as they can detract from your naturally balanced features.

If you have a heart-shaped face:

The typical complexion of a heart shaped face is a wide forehead, high cheekbones, narrow jaw and a well-defined chin. Your face resembles a heart shape since it is widest at the top and narrowest at the bottom. The aim when choosing glasses for heart shaped faces is to help create the illusion of a smaller forehead and a broader chin. This can be achieved by choosing glasses that are wider than your forehead. We recommend Pilot/Aviator, wraparound and wayfarer frames.
