Best Aviator Sunglasses
Aire Whirlpool 53mm Aviator ($39)
These will be appreciated if you know someone who has been looking for a pair of aviators with a throwback vibe. They are available in two colors: a black frame with a gradient brown lens and a tortoiseshell pattern with a khaki lens. In this review of the Aire Whirlpool 53mm Aviator Shades, our editor tested them out and is raving about them.
Editor quote: “These appear far more costly than they are, although I have tried on pairs of aviator shades under $20 that looked their price — I blame the narrow frames, the high-gloss shine of the plastic, and the all-wrong lens shapes. I feel nearly ecstatic to share the praise when others give it to me. I genuinely think these are a great deal at less than $40.” — Contributing editor Angela Elias, Shopping
