There’s something about certain movies that resonate so much with us, that we’re desperate to copy the fashion of our favourite characters. Whether it be a cloak to look like Obi Wan Kenobi or the yellow check outfit from Clueless. No matter the film, we want the style!
Of course, one of the most famous brands to continuously make their mark on cinematics are Ray-Ban. In fact, Ray-Ban sunglasses have taken centre stage in some of the most iconic movies to date. Here are just a few of the most famous:
THE BLUES BROTHERS – THE WAYFARER
The Blues Brothers movie might have been created to showcase some spectacular music. However, for most of us, when you mention the movie, you instantly think of their signature black suit and Wayfarer combination. Indeed, most of us at some point have tried to recreate the same style for a Halloween costume or an 80s party.
RISKY BUSINESS – THE WAYFARER
The first – and certainly not the last – Tom Cruise movie on this list is the superb Risky Business. Here Cruise plays a spoiled teen who is left alone by his parents for the weekend. The shenanigans that follow have made this 80s comedy one of the most memorable movies to ever be made.
Indeed, it’s incredible to think that over 30 years since the movie was first released, the Wayfarers that Cruise wore in the movie are still iconic, with people still wearing both the original Wayfarer and the Wayfarer Light-Ray to encompass the style of Risky Business.
MEN IN BLACK – PREDATORS
If you had to think of a movie with the most stylish characters, the likelihood is, Men in Black would come to mind. Who would have thought that a movie about aliens would make us want to pack in our jobs and try to join the elusive MiB, where you’re known only by your first initial and where you get the best uniform in the world.
Of course, if any of us had met a MiB member, we wouldn’t remember due to their little memory gadget that erases your memories. That is, unless you had a pair of Ray-Ban Predators to protect your eyes. Now, with MiB International and the mighty Chris Hemsworth wearing his Predators, this style is only going to get more and more popular.
TOP GUN – AVIATORS
There is something about Top Gun that is simply mesmerising. Whether it’s Maverick (above) racing around on his motorbike to Danger Zone or the infamous beach volleyball – everyone who sees Top Gun adores the style of this movie. Of course, one of the most iconic styles from the movie are Maverick’s Aviator frames, which made everyone from the 80s onwards desperate to own their own.
Aviators, along with many of Ray-Ban’s iconic designs are now able to be customized, so you can channel your inner movie star while still creating an individual look. Indeed, the Aviator style from Top Gun is still so iconic that the trailer for the upcoming sequel shows off Maverick putting on his famous frames. So, you can expect Aviators to excel in popularity even more once the new film is released.
