Frequently Asked Questions About Aviator Glasses
Do aviator glasses look good on everyone?
Aviators suit most face shapes, but they're particularly flattering on oval, square, and heart-shaped faces. The teardrop shape balances wider cheekbones and softens strong jawlines. If you have a very narrow face, oversized aviators may overwhelm your features—try a smaller size.
How should aviator glasses fit?
Properly fitting aviators should: (1) cover your eyebrows or sit just below them, (2) have the bottom of the lens near your cheekbones without touching, (3) be as wide as or slightly wider than your face, and (4) have nose pads that sit comfortably without pinching. Our try-on helps you visualize this fit.
Can I get prescription aviator glasses?
Yes! Many brands offer prescription aviator eyeglasses, not just sunglasses. The teardrop shape accommodates most prescriptions well. For very high prescriptions, smaller aviator sizes help minimize lens thickness. Our try-on shows how the frame looks; you add your prescription at checkout.
What's the difference between aviator and pilot glasses?
Aviator and pilot glasses refer to the same style—the terms are interchangeable. Both describe the teardrop-shaped lenses and thin metal frames originally designed for military pilots. Some brands use "pilot" to describe slightly different variations, but the classic shape is the same.
Are aviator glasses still in style?
Absolutely. Aviators have been continuously popular since the 1970s and show no signs of fading. They're considered a "classic" style that transcends trends. Modern variations include colored lenses, different frame materials, and updated proportions, but the iconic shape remains timeless.
What size aviator glasses should I get?
Aviator lens sizes typically range from 55mm to 62mm. For most faces, 58mm is a good starting point. Smaller faces should try 55-57mm; larger faces can go 60mm+. The frame should extend just past your face width. Use our virtual try-on to compare sizes on your actual face.
