I own over a hundred pairs of sunglasses - trust me, the classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers can't be beaten

Tester wearing Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses.

As a fashion editor and stylist, I own over 100 pairs of sunglasses, but there's one style that I keep coming back to, and it's this classic shape. So if you're looking to invest in a pair of the best sunglasses, make your next purchase a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

First born in 1952 and almost discontinued in the 1970s due to the popularity of oversized styles, the Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses gained popularity again in the 1980s after appearing in a string of Hollywood films, including The Blues Brothers, Risky Business and The Breakfast Club. More recent fans of this timeless style include none other than the Princess of Wales, who owns several variations on the Wayfarer design.
