The Pitts
Angelina and Brad are often seen in their matching pairs of aviators as they globe trot with their three kids in tow. Travel friendly and durable, many brands of mirrored aviator sunglasses will outlast overseas adventures and back again. The Pitts also prove this style of shades is equally attractive on men and women. The aviator glasses' unisex appeal has made them popular for years.
Eva Longoria
A fan of brown tinted aviators, Longoria wears a pricey version of the typical line. For her regular shades, expect to pay somewhere in the triple digits. While most celebrities choose their glasses based upon specific designers, many knock off versions are available if you want to look like Eva on a shoestring budget.
Marilyn Manson
Bring out the gothic glam and combine it with a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses, and you have the look Marilyn Manson has given to the cameras. Acetate, a plastic used to rim some versions of aviator shades, are a favorite of Manson and his fans are following suit.
Ellen Degeneres
A fan of mirrored aviator sunglasses, Ellen exemplifies a style that isn't overly feminine looking. Again accentuating the unisex appeal of this type of eyewear, Ellen proves that women can wear this style without being overly girly or over the top.
Britney Spears
She may have shaved her head and occassionally forgets her panties, but Britney never forgets to wear stylish shades. Known for being a starlet with one of the largest eyewear collections, she includes mirrored aviator sunglasses in the mix. The paparazzi has caught them as part of her regular rotation of shades for quite some time.
Hand Over Those Shades, Officer!
Reno 911 is a show on Comedy Central that mocks and “reinacts” a typical police force. With the tagline “They might not be the best, but they're the best we got,” this hilarious show is filled with comedians wearing mirrored aviator glasses. Playing off of an old look Erik Estrada started back in his C.H.I.P.S. days, the glasses are used to further accentuate the show's comedic look at authority.
Reno 911 is only the latest in a long line of shows who have used mirrored aviator sunglasses as a way to make their characters look more serious, silly, or even sexy.
Where To Buy
Mirrored aviator sunglasses can be purchased at most fine retailers. You can also find them online at a variety of sunglass sales sites. Designer frames are usually not sold online, so beware of knock-offs and scams if you are in fact looking for a specific label or status symbol.
If you are less picky and looking just for the general aviator look, you can often get great deals both online and in chain department stores.
