The Clubmaster Sunglasses Primer - Ray Ban vs. Shuron vs. The Rest

About this video

The Gazette team explores the history, characteristics, and styling of clubmaster or browline sunglasses, originally invented by Shuron Limited and later popularized by Ray-Ban. They discuss how to wear these frames, what to look for when purchasing, and provide guidance on where to buy them, emphasizing the importance of trying them on before purchase due to their specific fit requirements.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team explains that clubmaster frames feature a thicker plastic or acetate upper frame with a thinner metal lower frame, creating the distinctive browline appearance that draws attention to the eyebrows
• The Gazette team argues that while clubmasters offer a classic and elegant aesthetic suitable for formal wear and suits, they are not ideal for practical sun protection due to gaps that allow sunlight to enter from the sides and top
• The Gazette team recommends trying clubmasters on before purchasing and suggests buying from either Shuron Limited for custom options or Ray-Ban for ready-made styles, noting that proper fit is crucial due to the frames’ specific design
