Aviator Sunglasses for Festivals and Sunny Sessions
Aviator sunglasses are a classic frame style with oversized teardrop lenses, a double bridge, and thin metal arms — the kind of shades that look good on pretty much every face shape. This mirrored pair keeps your eyes shielded from bright sun, stage lights, and the general sensory overload of a long day outdoors. Light, cheap, and cheerful — toss them in your bag and stop squinting.
Colour Selection
Colours are picked at random by our warehouse team. If you order multiple pairs, they'll do their best to send you a varied selection — so bulk-buying for a group of mates actually works out nicely. You won't get to choose the specific colour, but that's half the fun. Think of it as a lucky dip.

Heading to a festival or outdoor session? Pair these aviator sunglasses with a rolling tray and a pocket-sized grinder from our smokeshop — everything you need fits in one bag. A bandana or headband completes the look and keeps sweat out of your eyes when the sun really kicks in.
Why Aviator Sunglasses Belong in Your Festival Kit
We've all done it: spent 8 hours in direct sunlight with nothing between your retinas and a cloudless sky except optimism. By hour 3, you're squinting so hard your face aches. By hour 6, you've got a headache that no amount of water will shift. A pair of sunglasses is one of those things you never think about until you don't have them — and then it's the only thing you can think about.
These mirrored aviators solve the problem for less than the price of a festival beer. The mirrored coating bounces light away from your eyes instead of just dimming it, which makes a noticeable difference on bright days or when you're facing a stage with heavy lighting rigs. They sit light on your nose — under 30g is typical for this frame — so you forget you're wearing them after 10 minutes. The one honest downside: because the colour is random, you might end up with a shade that doesn't match your outfit. Then again, mismatched festival sunglasses are basically a tradition at this point.
Compared to spending serious money on branded sunglasses you'll inevitably lose, scratch, or sit on by Sunday afternoon, these are the sensible call. We've seen enough crushed Ray-Bans come through festival lost-and-found stories to know: cheap, replaceable shades are the move for any event where things get lively. Buy 2 or 3 pairs, keep one in your tent as backup, and hand the spare to the friend who always forgets theirs.
How to Use Your Aviator Sunglasses
- Open the arms fully and place the frame on your face, resting the nose pads on the bridge of your nose. The teardrop lenses should cover from your eyebrows to just above your cheekbones.
- Adjust the nose pads gently if they feel too tight or too loose — a slight bend in the metal bridge lets you fine-tune the fit.
- If the arms feel loose behind your ears, give the tips a very gentle inward curve with your fingers. Metal arms are forgiving — you can reshape them without tools.
- Store them in a soft pouch or case when not in use. A microfibre cloth works for cleaning the mirrored lenses — avoid paper towels or rough fabric, which can scratch the coating over time.
- For festival use, hook them onto your shirt collar or hang them from a lanyard when you head indoors. Pockets are where sunglasses go to die.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I choose the colour of my aviator sunglasses?
No — colours are selected at random by our warehouse. If you order more than one pair, the team will try to send different colours so you get some variety. It's a lucky dip, not a menu.
Do mirrored aviator sunglasses block UV light?
Mirrored lenses reflect a portion of visible light and reduce glare. For certified UV400 protection, check the product packaging on arrival. These are budget festival shades — they reduce brightness and glare effectively, but they're not rated as optical-grade eyewear.
Are these sunglasses unisex?
Yes. The aviator frame is one of the most universally flattering styles — the teardrop shape suits wide and narrow faces alike. One size, no gender-specific fit.
Will the mirrored coating scratch easily?
Any mirrored lens will pick up scratches if you're rough with it. Keep them in a soft pouch and clean with a microfibre cloth. At this price point, treat them as disposable festival gear rather than daily drivers.
What if I order 3 pairs and get 3 of the same colour?
Our warehouse tries to vary the colours on multi-orders, but it's not guaranteed — it depends on current stock. Worst case, you and your mates end up matching, which honestly looks intentional anyway.
Are aviator sunglasses comfortable to wear all day?
These are lightweight metal frames, typically under 30g. Most people forget they're wearing them after the first few minutes. The adjustable nose pads help if you need a tighter or looser fit over a long session.
