There's no easier way to make a movie character seem cool than to have him sport a stylish pair of shades.
And who of us has not wanted a pair of his/hers favourite actor’s sunglasses?
The best sunglasses ever put on films are more than simply nice accessories, thrown on without consideration, THEY ARE LEGEND.
Forget about the fact that they protect your skin and eyes—sunglasses hide your true expressions and conceal your real feelings. They project aloofness, detachment, mystery, glamour.
As summer’s inevitable search for a new great pair of shades begins, we look for inspiration to the ones who wore them best...you name the actor!
Check out the top 5 shades that have elevated cool to the status of legendary.
Take the Ray-Ban Aviator Large Metal RB 3025 for example. Who of you boys didn’t wish to be in Pete "Maverick" Mitchell’s shoes in Top Gun and dominate the skies? And is there any girl out there that did not fall in love with him? “take my breath away…”
Brad Pitt wears them in Ocean’s Thirteen and his offscreen lady love Angelina Jolie gave them a go as well in action movie “Wanted”. These Oliver Peoples STRUMMER OV 1004/S sunglasses fuse the classic aviator shape with modern touches such as the sporty double-bridge and semi-rimless glass.
It was 1968 when an already famous and charming Steve McQueen appeared on set wearing the Persol PO 0714 model for the first time. The film was The Thomas Crown Affair which elevated both Steve McQueen and his sunglasses to legendary status. Inseparable allies in both his on-set adventures and in his personal life, McQueen, who was a fan of Persol owned a personal collection.
Men want to be him, women want HIM... and now it seems Daniel Craig has also adopted a style everyone wants a piece of too. After the actor wore Tom Ford's Marko FT 0144 sunglasses in his third outing as James Bond in Skyfall demand soared.
Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, RUSH portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals: James Hunt played by Chris Hemsworth and Niki Lauda played by Daniel Brühl. Niki Lauda’s character wears a pair of CARRERA 80 sunglasses, epitomizing the brand’s racing attitude.
