Ray-Ban
Rectangle Sunglasses
Check Price
Bottom Line

The sportiest style in our roundup. Their shape and style is a good alternative to other models for some, but they look better than they shade the sun.

Pros

Combines polarized glass lenses and metal frames in a flattering rectangle style. Lenses are curved for comfort and polarized.

Cons

They are a bit costly, and consumers found that they don't block sun as well as others they tried.

When you think of Ray-Bans, you probably picture the classic aviator sunglasses straight out of Top Gun. But the brand offers a wide variety of not only sunglasses, but eyeglasses and other men’s accessories. Here, we focus on men’s Ray-Ban sunglasses. Frames come in pilot, round, square and oval shapes in various materials, from classic plastic and metal, to wood and even leather, carbon fibre, and other innovative mediums. While most stores sell them with basic lenses – polarized, mirror/flash, gradient, or specialized; you can also order prescription lenses. Ray-Bans are a bit of an investment, but they are built to last both through rough handling and changing trends.
