Ray-Ban Clubmaster

History and Evolution of the Clubmaster Style

The Ray-Ban Clubmaster has an iconic design rooted in the browline style, which first emerged in the late 1940s. This distinctive look features a thicker upper frame that mimics the eyebrow, contrasted by a thinner lower rim, giving the glasses a strong, charismatic character. During the 1950s and 1960s, the browline design became a popular choice among cultural figures like Malcolm X, albeit his frames were made by American Optical Sirmonts.

In 1986, Ray-Ban introduced the Clubmaster model, taking advantage of a renewed fascination with browline frames that began in the late 1970s. The Ray-Ban Clubmaster became a symbol of retro sophistication, capturing a blend of classic nostalgia and modern style, partly fueled by their appearance in popular media, such as Bruce Willis's character in the TV show Moonlighting.

Features of Ray-Ban Clubmaster

The Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses stand out for their iconic, semi-rimless design. The heavier upper browline adds a distinctive edge that conveys a retro-inspired look, while the thinner metal rims add an elegant touch. Available as both Ray-Ban women's sunglasses and Ray-Ban sunglasses for men, the Clubmaster is versatile, suitable for various face shapes, and easily transitions between casual and formal looks.

The RB3016 Clubmaster Classic is one of the most popular versions of the Clubmaster series. It features high-quality acetate on the upper browline, paired with lightweight metal rims. These sunglasses include G-15 lenses, which are known for reducing glare and providing true color definition, ensuring both style and visual clarity. The adjustable nose pads enhance comfort, making it easy to customize the fit.

Ray-Ban Clubmaster frames are available in classic black, tortoiseshell, and gold, providing a regal look. The lenses come in several options, including green, blue, and gradient brown, giving users a wide range of choices to match their personal style.
