Carrera Aviator Sunglasses, 60mm
Overview
The Carrera Aviator Sunglasses (60mm) are a modern take on the classic aviator silhouette, finished in a Blue/Blue Gradient lens that blends fashion-forward color with practical sun protection. With a generous 60mm lens height, they deliver wide coverage that suits people who prefer bold frames or need extra peripheral glare reduction—drivers, frequent travelers, and anyone who favors statement eyewear. Carrera’s design balances a lightweight metal frame and adjustable nose pads for all-day comfort, while the gradient tint keeps visibility clear in mixed light. These shades are ideal for buyers seeking designer styling, robust UV protection, and a contemporary colorway that shifts easily from casual daytime to sharper evening looks.
