Not to worry--we've gathered just a few of their very best options, so you can check into which style is best for you. But before we do that, we're looking into where this brand came from and how it came about, so you can see if Carrera really is the best brand for you!
Before hopping over to a few of their latest styles, let's look into how Carrera began. Wilhelm Anger founded the brand in 1956, as inspired by the Carrera Panamericana auto race. Roughly two decades later, they changed their name to Optyl International, and shifted their focus to motorcycle goggles and ski masks. Right around that time, the company changed its name to Carrera, and established its headquarters in Traun, Austria, opting to partner with Ferdinand Alexander, the automobile designer. This move led to the Carrera Porsche Design collection. Retaining this athletic tint, the company sponsored top notch athletic events, including: America's Cup, the 1988 Winter Olympics, and Formila 1 Racing. Known for their high quality and resilient construction, Carrera has retained its reputation for quality products with ease.

On that note, let's check out their classic 'Aviator Sunglasses,' which are living proof of this rich and real history. A fabulous example of when style and grace collide, these puppies boast gold metal frames with brown lenses (or, silver metal frames with black arm detailing and lenses.) Its open nose bridge makes for a comfortable and easy fit, while the logo detailing along the left lens and at the temple add a little oomph to this classic style. Offering one-hundred-percent protection, you'll not only be looking great, but feeling great, as well! Look to sport this fabulous option with your favorite pair of jean shorts and cotton v-neck shirt. If you opt for the casual look, don't forget to toss on your white flip-flops, too! Do take note, though, you can definitely dress these up, as well. Work that little black dress with black pumps and these aviators for a style that just doesn't quit.
Now that we've looked into an option for the ladies, let's move over to the men's side of things. Carrera's 'Champion Aviator Sunglasses' ooze old school funk, while keeping things modern and cool. The plastic, tortoise-print lenses take on the classic aviator styling, with a little oomph: we love the subtle printed Carrera logo that sits on the lens and frame, without overpowering the look. Throw these on with your favorite polo shirt, white shorts, and flip-flops for a fun look that offers a nod to the past. Or, if you're interested in dressing these puppies up a bit, you definitely won't go wrong by pairing white dress pants with a striped button down for a dapper dose of style.
