The $19 Silver Aviators Every Kiwi Should Snag
Silver aviator sunglasses—proper classics. They’ve been on Hollywood legends, rockstars, and regular folks forever. So what keeps them kicking after all these years? Let’s dive into their story, famous faces, and why they’re a no-brainer for your collection.
How Aviators Took Off
Aviators go way back—early 1900s stuff. Pilots needed shades to cut sun glare up high—light metal, teardrop lenses did the trick. Covered the eyes, looked slick too. By the ‘30s, they jumped from planes to pavements—General MacArthur’s wartime snap in them sealed the deal. Tough and stylish—done.
Silver Shines Bright
Aviators come in all sorts—silver’s the standout. That cool, shiny finish screams sharp and suits most faces and tones. Beach in the arvo, town at night—silver aviators roll with it all, no sweat.
