According to The List's survey, the most popular style of sunglasses is a pair of aviators! With over 35% of the vote, this popular style was named after the pilots of World War I who needed full protection from the bright sun while flying their planes. Per Tulliani, a manufacturer found that the teardrop style perfectly protected their eyes from the sun no matter what direction they were flying. Opt for these sunglasses if you want to achieve the perfect Tom Cruise a la "Top Gun" cool guy vibe.
In second place with 20.43% of the vote were round sunglasses, another classic pair that looks great on just about anyone. You may recognize the style made famous by singer John Lennon, whose round-rimmed glasses became a part of his signature look.
Wayfarer sunglasses followed close behind with 19.53% of the vote. According to Gentleman's Gazette, Wayfarer frames look great on those with "oblong, oval and round face shapes." Square (17.2%) and cat eye (7.53%) shaped glasses are two more popular styles that make a bold fashion statement when paired with the right outfit.
