The Porsche Aviator
In 1978, Porsche shifted gears, introducing one of its first nonautomotive accessories—a pair of sleek, contoured aviator sunglasses. The styling was based on the lines of its meticulously calibrated cars, and the form-follows-function design allowed for a swift changing of the lenses to vary tints. Twenty-seven years later, they’re still the most comfortable shades on the market, and their famous teardrop design looks great on any shape face. All this and a pedigree to match—every hotshot from Steve McQueen to Usher has sported them. Buy them with dark gray or warm brown lenses and remember that they go well with pretty much everything, especially a 911 Carrera.
