Ray-Bans

Ray-Bans are a brand of sunglasses, particularly the Aviator and Wayfarer styles that became cultural icons.

The name has become somewhat generic for stylish sunglasses generally: He slid on his Ray-Bans and walked out.

The brand connotes cool detachment—the wearer hidden behind dark lenses.
