aviators
Cockpit crew members
Aviators are sunglasses with large teardrop-shaped lenses and thin metal frames, originally designed for pilots to reduce glare.
The style remains popular for its classic look: He pushed his aviators up on his head.
Aviator can also simply mean a pilot, though this use sounds dated or formal.
