Ray-Ban Round Metal: Born in the Sixties

Ray-Ban Round Metal: born in the sixties




Ray-Ban Round Metal Sunglasses


Make love. Not war. This is how the world appeared to the most popular subculture of the 1960s — the bright, kind, and carefree hippies. A world without suffering and pain, without conflicts and sorrows, without sharp or dull angles…

Just like Ray-Ban Round Metal sunglasses — round and joyful.

The history of teashades


This Ray-Ban model is far from the first in the world of “rounded” optics; rather, it confirms its success.

Round glasses have been known to the world for a long time: it’s believed that this was the first shape humanity created for glasses, primarily for medical purposes (vision correction), not sun protection. So, this shape became a mark of old-world intellectuals who strained their eyes in the pursuit of knowledge.

These glasses had many names: “granny glasses,” “bicycles”… But the primary name is teashades (from “shade” in English).

Such glasses were an essential part of Mahatma Gandhi’s image, and Ozzy Osbourne still wears them today. But the peak of teashades’ popularity came in the 1960s — the time of love and music. This is when “rounds” are most closely associated.

As for the person who symbolizes teashades, it’s undoubtedly John Lennon, frontman of The Beatles. He epitomizes round glasses and the peace movement.

This era became so progressive and unforgettable that “rounds” have long been embedded in mass culture, soon appearing on the main characters in films like “Leon” (the assassin played by Jean Reno wears teashades), “Hudson Hawk” (Bruce Willis sports black rounds), and, of course, “Harry Potter” (Daniel Radcliffe’s character is the most famous fictional “bespectacled” hero today).

Ray-Ban’s contribution


As for the ongoing story of teashades, Ray-Ban Round Metal is a worthy continuation. First released in the 1980s, these sunglasses continue to be updated with new colors, technologies, and frame designs.

The main feature of the Rounds, apart from their round shape, is the tubular metal frame, which gives them incredible lightness and strength.

In addition, this model is characterized by the following details: curved browline, thin arms with soft plastic temple tips, and adjustable nose pads.

Beyond that, the Round Metal model is available not only in metal frames but also in leather frames (Craft), adding a touch of flair to an already striking look.

Today, Ray-Ban Round Metal sunglasses are worn not only by fashion bloggers and models but also by celebrities: Keira Knightley, Zoë Kravitz (Lenny Kravitz’s daughter), Miley Cyrus, Mary-Kate Olsen, and many more.

All of this proves that glasses of this model are incredibly resilient to the tests of time and fashion. So, if you, like true hippies, want to live peacefully and show it to the world, Ray-Ban Round Metal sunglasses are ready to “make love” with you!
