These sunglasses are a style of sunglasses that were first developed for pilots in the 1930s to protect their eyes from the glare of the sun while flying at high altitudes. The glasses became popular with the general public in the 1970s when they were worn by celebrities and featured in popular movies and television shows. The sunglasses are characterized by their large teardrop-shaped lenses and thin metal frames, which are usually made of gold, silver, or black metal. The lenses are also usually mirrored or polarized to reduce glare and improve visibility. In the 1970s, these sunglasses were often associated with a cool, rebellious image and were worn by both men and women. They remain a popular fashion accessory to this day.
