#One of the most famous sunglasses in history. True classic.
#WAYFARER was released in 1952. After Wayfarers' heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, sales declined. But in 1980s Ray-Ban signed to place Ray-Bans in movies and television shows. Between 1982 and 1987, Ray-Ban sunglasses appeared in over 60 movies and television shows per year, which made WAYFARER's fate reversed in 1980s. As the 1990s began, the frames again became unpopular but in 2000s, they were brought back into fashion. The reason for the unpopularity in 1970s and 1990s is that very big or wrap-round design sunglasses are popular at those time.
