'60s Chic

In 1952, when the sunglasses style was all about metallic frames and the aviator shape, Ray-Ban launched the Wayfarer, a dramatically different model using a relatively new material called acetate. They were mistakenly associated with Audrey Hepburn's look in 1961's Breakfast at Tiffany's – in fact, she wore a pair of Oliver Goldsmith shades. Funnily enough, the movie significantly contributed to the fame of the Wayfarer. Mysterious, modern and dark, they're still a safe bet for hiding sleepy eyes or escaping from the paparazzi. And as they're unisex, why not share them with your betrothed?
