Retro Aluminum Shades

Aluminium Adds a Modern Twist to the Classic Ray-Ban Clubmaster Sunglasses

— March 27, 2014 — Fashion
The Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses have been around since the early 1950s. This time around, Ray-Ban is making them more modern by crafting them with aluminium.

This reiteration of the classic shades makes them more lightweight, durable, and of course, stylish. The aluminium frame is brushed in a matte finish, weighs next to nothing and contrasts beautifully with the trimming. The line gives a handful of color options; you can choose from silver, gunmetal, black and bronze color schemes. The lenses are made with no lesser quality, as they are crystal and have the option to be polarized.

These Aluminum Clubmaster sunglasses are iconic and are sure to remain timeless just as their predecessor has. Other than the aluminium, they are quite similar to the originals, except for the modern curves and thinner arms.
