HD Lenses Included: Aviator Glasses for Every Look
Aviator glasses are one of the most iconic frame shapes in eyewear: thin metal frames, large teardrop lenses, and a clean top bar that traces all the way back to 1930s military pilot eyewear. The silhouette has stayed essentially unchanged for nearly a century because it works — it suits most face shapes, offers wide coverage, and reads instantly classic. Every pair in this collection is built from premium materials, including metal frames with wood temple accents and acetate. Every frame is prescription-ready, with single-vision, progressive, blue light, and reading lens options at checkout. Available in a range of aviator variations for men and women.
Our aviator glasses cover both square aviator and oversized aviator silhouettes, in colors and finishes including silver, gold, black, clear, and tortoise tones. The aviator shape works across most face shapes, with the wider-top, narrower-bottom design drawing the eye upward and adding vertical length that balances strong jawlines and broader cheekbones. Every frame is reviewed by our certified in-house optician before lenses are made in our Canadian optical lab. Add your prescription at checkout — or order with clear lenses for non-prescription wear. Browse our prescription lens guide for full lens details.
Shoppers Guide To Buying Aviator Glasses Frames
Ofte stilte spørsmål
Hva er pilotbriller?
Aviator glasses are eyeglasses with large teardrop-shaped lenses, thin metal or acetate frames, and a double or single bridge across the top of the nose. The shape was originally developed in the 1930s for US military pilots to protect their eyes during high-altitude flight, which is where the name "aviator" comes from. The design has remained essentially unchanged for nearly a century.
When were aviator glasses invented?
Aviator glasses were invented in 1936 by Bausch & Lomb (now Ray-Ban) for US military pilots who needed eyewear that could protect their eyes during high-altitude flight. The teardrop lens shape was specifically designed to maximize coverage of the eye area while remaining compatible with a flight helmet. The style quickly moved from military to civilian use through the 1940s and '50s, and has stayed in continuous rotation ever since.
Are aviator glasses still in style?
Yes, aviator glasses are one of the most consistently popular frame shapes in eyewear history. The silhouette has stayed in continuous rotation since the 1930s without falling out of fashion, with renewed momentum from squared and oversized aviator variations. The shape works across both classic gold-frame aviators and modern squared aviators, from vintage-inspired wire styles to bolder oversized variations.
Er pilotbriller for menn eller kvinner?
Aviator glasses are unisex and work for both men and women, with strong search interest balanced across both audiences. The shape originated in 1930s military aviation as men's eyewear but has been adopted across genders since the 1960s. Frame size, color, and material are the main variables to match to face size and personal style. Shop both men's and women's eyeglasses for more frame styles.
What face shapes look best in aviator glasses?
Aviator glasses look best on oval, square, heart-shaped, and rectangular face shapes. The wider top and narrower bottom of the teardrop shape draws the eye upward and adds vertical length, which balances strong jawlines and broader cheekbones. Round faces also benefit because the angular brow line adds definition. The face shape least suited to aviators is a small, narrow face where the frame can overpower the features.
Are aviator glasses good for round faces?
Yes, aviator glasses are flattering for round faces. The teardrop lens shape with a wider top and narrower bottom adds vertical length and angular contrast against the soft curves of a round face. Square aviator variations like the Drive Silver eyeglasses work especially well on round faces by adding sharper angular definition than the classic teardrop. For more options, see our guide to the best glasses for round face shapes.
Are aviator glasses good for small or narrow faces?
Yes, smaller aviator glasses can work well on small or narrow faces — the key is keeping the frame proportionate. Look for aviator sizing in the 52–56mm lens range rather than oversized variations, which can overwhelm petite features. Slimmer wire frames and acetate aviator styles also tend to flatter smaller features better than thick or chunky builds.
Do you offer square or oversized aviator glasses?
Yes, our aviator glasses collection includes both square aviator and oversized aviator silhouettes. Square aviator styles like the Haya eyeglasses keep the wider-top, narrower-bottom aviator proportion with squared-off edges instead of curves for a more modern look. Oversized aviator frames like the Purpose Black eyeglasses deliver the classic teardrop shape in larger proportions, working well across most face shapes.
Do you offer clear aviator glasses?
Yes, our aviator glasses collection includes clear aviator frame options. Frames like the Haya eyeglasses, an aviator with black and clear acetate construction, offer a fresh, minimalist take on the classic aviator silhouette. Clear aviator frames pair well across professional and casual settings, reading softer than darker frames while keeping the iconic aviator shape.
Do you offer gold or silver aviator glasses?
Yes, our aviator glasses collection includes gold and silver metal aviator options alongside other finishes. Gold aviator styles like the Drive Gold eyeglasses carry the classic vintage and pilot-inspired aesthetic associated with the original 1930s design. Silver aviator variations like the Drive Silver eyeglasses offer a cooler, more refined alternative to gold while keeping the same iconic silhouette.
What materials are Kraywoods aviator glasses made from?
Our aviator glasses are crafted from premium materials including metal and acetate. Metal aviator frames like the Purpose Gold eyeglasses feature stainless steel construction with wood temple accents for a lightweight, refined finish that suits the classic wire aviator silhouette. Acetate aviator styles like the Kaya eyeglasses feature thicker, statement-driven construction with deeper color and pattern saturation, ideal for tortoise and bold-color variations.
Can I get aviator glasses with blue light or reading lenses?
Yes, every aviator glass frame in this collection can be ordered with blue light filtering, reading, or standard prescription lenses at checkout. Choose your lens type when you order, enter your prescription details if applicable, and our certified in-house optician will review every order before lenses are made in our Canadian optical lab. Single-vision, progressive, blue light, and reading prescriptions are all supported.
Can I use HSA, FSA, or insurance to buy aviator glasses?
Yes, Kraywoods accepts HSA and FSA payments at checkout for eligible prescription eyewear purchases, including aviator glasses. For insurance claims, we provide an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. For specific insurance claim questions, contact our team at customercare@kraywoods.com.
How should I style aviator glasses?
Aviator glasses pair well with classic, military-inspired, and casual looks, though the shape is fully unisex. For everyday wear, match gold or silver metal aviators with denim, leather, and neutral knitwear. For a sharper look, pair classic aviators with tailoring, a blazer, or a structured trench. Squared aviators lean more contemporary and pair well with modern minimalist outfits. Looking for the same silhouette in shade? Browse our aviator sunglasses collection.
