Ray-Ban Elegance: 12 Classy Clubmaster Styles Everyone Should Consider

The three most iconic and popular styles in Ray-Ban’s arsenal are its Aviator, Wayfarer, and Clubmaster models. In fact, Men’s Health magazine recommends all three as “The Three Types of Sunglasses Every Man Should Own.” The Clubmaster’s browline design is sophisticated, cool, and an integral part of classic menswear design. Slightly more formal than Aviators or Wayfarers, it’s a look that complements most men, particularly when worn with suits or more dressy attire. That’s not to say they’re only for men, however. Clubmasters, like nearly every Ray-Ban design, are unisex and look equally amazing on women. If you’re considering investing in a pair of Ray-Ban Clubmaster prescription glasses, you have more options to choose from than you may realize.

1. Clubmaster Classic

Ray-Ban Clubmaster Classic sunglasses are the epitome of 1950s retro-chic style. The Classics come in black or brown frames with Ray-Ban’s signature crystal green lenses.

2. Clubmaster Oversized

If the Clubmaster and Wayfarer had a baby, it would be the Clubmaster Oversized. It combines the Clubmaster browline with Wayfarer’s temple and frame and pairs them both with oversized oval lenses. These Ray-Ban Clubmaster sunglasses successfully meld contemporary with retro and are extremely flattering to most face shapes.

3. Clubaround

In another successful combination design, Ray-Ban’s newest offering merges the trendy round lens style with the Clubmaster Classic. Modern, creative, bohemian, and intellectual are fitting descriptions for this up-and-coming Ray-Ban icon, which features quality metal and acetate frames and stylish mirror lenses.

4. Clubmaster Oval

Part beachy and part business, this classic oval-lens Clubmaster works well for smaller faces with a heart, diamond, or square shape.

5. Clubmaster Square

A slight variation on the Classic, the Square comes with the standard acetate browline in black and Havana, or if you want to add a fun, edgy touch, choose one of the “wrinkled” finishes in gray/blue, blue/brown, or black/black.

6. Clubmaster Folding

Nothing says cool, calm, and collected like removing your stylish Ray-Ban Clubmaster prescription sunglasses, folding them, and casually placing them in your chest pocket. These beauties will turn heads with your choice of frame colors and lens treatments, and make the ultimate (yet practical) fashion accessory.

7. Clubmaster Blaze

Just like their Aviator Blaze design, Ray-Ban has incorporated this flat lens-over-frame construction into the Clubmaster family. Ray-Ban characterizes them as having “bohemian-urban appeal” and you’ll agree, especially if that describes your own personal fashion vibe.

8. Clubmaster Optical

Not to be overshadowed by its sunglasses sibling, Ray-Ban Clubmaster glasses also come in the prescription optical variety. First popularized by Malcolm X in the 1960s, their popularity was revived in the early 90s by the release of the Malcolm X movie starring Denzel Washington and the movie, Falling, with Michael Douglas. They remain popular today because of their retro-intellectual appeal.

9. Clubmaster Metal

A fresh, contemporary version of the original icon, the Clubmaster Metal offers all-metal frames in gold, copper, or brushed gunmetal, crafted with attention to detail throughout. Choose from green, blue, or pink gradient lenses to compliment your frames and create a custom look all your own.

10. Clubmaster Aluminum

If you’re looking for a pair of sunglasses that weigh next to nothing, the Clubmaster Aluminum fits the bill. Part vintage and part futuristic, these sunglasses come in black and Arista gold with the signature green crystal lenses, or in brushed silver with copper or blue gradient mirror flash coating.

11. Clubmaster Double-Bridge

Stripey brown or black acetate browline finishes, mirror gradient lenses, and a stylish double-bridge give this Clubmaster variety a unique, killer look that will make you stand out — in a subtle sort of way.

12. Clubmaster Fleck

An attractive new color palette elevates this Clubmaster design, complemented by chic gradient lenses. Creative, fun, and slightly softer-looking than the Classic, you’ll love how the Fleck makes everything you wear look even better.
