Tickets to the Summer or The Most Summery Ray-Ban Models :)

Sunglasses are generally made for the warmer times of the year when the days get longer, the nights shorter, and the amount of sun skyrockets! But we firmly believe that some Ray-Ban models are summery not only because they protect from ultraviolet and visible light rays, but also because their colors, shapes, and technologies practically scream about the best season of the year!

So, here’s our top-9 summery Ray-Ban models.

1. Aviator Full Color: Hotter Than Sand

The good old Aviators, first created back in 1937, in this version have a metal frame with a colored plastic coating on the front. What makes this model "hot" is the use of vibrant lenses. Available in green, yellow, and red.

2. Craft Round Metal: More Enchanting Than Dawn

The main feature of this model, aside from its round shape, is the tubular metal frame, which gives it incredible lightness and, at the same time, durability. The leather detailing and purple/orange lenses will surely attract attention.

3. Original Wayfarer Ice Pops: Cooler Than Sorbet

The Wayfarer, which first appeared in 1952, comes in many variations. This one, for example, is made of translucent plastic and glass lenses in watermelon, grape, lemon, plum, and blueberry shades. This look strongly reminds us of the main temptations of summer — sorbets and ice cream.

4. Aviator Flash Lenses: More Reflective Than the Sea

Classic shape and new multilayer mirror technology: sunglasses with these lenses reflect not just one but two colors in the sunlight—blue and green, yellow and orange, green and yellow-orange.

5. Craft Outdoorsman and Outdoorsman II Rainbow: More Exciting Than Adventures

Introduced in 1939, this model became an interesting alternative to the Aviators: featuring the same teardrop shape, the glasses were equipped with a bridge across the nose to prevent sweat from dripping into the eyes. This feature made the model popular among travelers, fishermen, and hunters. Its name translates to "outdoorsman" or "wanderer."

We consider Craft Outdoorsman (with a leather bridge) super summery due to its strong association with safaris in hot deserts, and Outdoorsman II Rainbow for its colorful, adventure-inspired look and photochromic lenses that darken or lighten based on the amount of sunlight and UV exposure.

6. Aviator Flip Out: More Delicate Than Wildflowers

Flip Out is a technology that allows you to change lenses with a single click. But these Aviators made it into the summer top list for another reason: the soft pink and green shades remind us of nature, which flourishes most beautifully in this season.

7. Folding Wayfarer: Fresher Than Mojito

Another bright variation of Wayfarers. The matte plastic frame with a folding feature allows you to fit it into even a small purse or pocket. :)

As for the lenses, they’re flash lenses with the "shimmering mirror" technology we’ve mentioned earlier. Additionally, to create this coating, two different layers of silver are applied to the lens.

This model comes in black, green, yellow, burgundy, and blue.

8. Andy: More Exciting Than a Party

A new model from 2014, named after pop art king Andy Warhol, couldn’t be anything but bright! The frame is made of plastic, making it lightweight, hypoallergenic, and resistant to deformation.

As for the lenses, they are the new /4V, /3R, which feature reflectiveness (mirroring direct sunlight and glare) and are made of polycarbonate (light and durable).

The summery Andy comes in raspberry, sky blue, or blue colors.

9. Round Metal Flash Lenses: Brighter Than the Sun

Finally, our favorites. The latest innovation from Ray-Ban: round hippie-style glasses now come with MIRRORED lenses. And not just any lenses, but flash lenses with the already familiar shimmering mirror technology from this top list.

There are three models in the collection—green, blue, and orange—and they are also polarized: they filter not only direct sunlight and UV rays but also harmful glare from reflective surfaces like the sea, shop windows, or wet asphalt.

These are our tickets to summer. Looking at them, it’s clear that Ray-Ban has put a lot of effort into ensuring we never forget what season it is! Whether we’re in the office or heading on vacation! :)
