Buying Aviator Sunglasses – What Should I Look Out For?

When purchasing aviator sunglasses, you should pay attention to high-quality materials and reliable UV protection. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), sunglasses with a “UV400” label offer a very high level of protection. All aviator sunglasses at Kapten & Son feature UV400 protection, making them dependable companions—whether for everyday use, holidays, or your next festival.

Besides protection, fit is also important: after all, your glasses should feel comfortable and natural, even if you wear them for hours on end. That’s why Kapten & Son offers a free glasses fitting service in-store.

Finally, you should also consider good lenses. Scratch-resistant and anti-reflective lenses ensure clear vision and long-lasting enjoyment of your new aviator glasses.

Who Suits Aviator Glasses?

Aviator sunglasses are true all-rounders and suit almost all face shapes. The iconic design particularly flatters oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. Want to add a touch of adventure and coolness to your outfit? Then aviator sunglasses are your must-have piece—whether for everyday wear, travel, or your next festival.

What Makes Aviator Sunglasses Special?

Aviator glasses, also known as pilot or flyer sunglasses, were originally developed in the 1930s for US Air Force pilots. Characteristic features of aviator sunglasses are the teardrop-shaped lenses and the double bridge made from delicate metal frames.

They combine retro vibes with modern minimalism, making them a genuine must-have piece that never goes out of style. Thanks to their lightweight and ergonomic shape, they sit especially comfortably—perfect companions for your next experience.
