Ray-Ban: what to buy, what to skip

Is Ray-Ban worth it? Like every house, Ray-Ban makes some pieces worth their price and some you mostly pay the name for. Here is every Ray-Ban piece Opulique has checked, across men’s designer sunglasses, each with a clear call, the usual price and, where it makes sense, a better alternative from another house.

Every Ray-Ban piece we checked

Ray-Ban Aviator Classic (men’s designer sunglasses, $170–$220): skip. Original aviator.

Ray-Ban or another house?

Buy the piece, not the logo. Compare Ray-Ban men’s designer sunglasses with the alternatives in our best men’s designer sunglasses list before you decide.

Authenticity, warranty and service

Buy from the fashion house, an authorized retailer or a reseller that authenticates and guarantees every piece, and keep the receipt, the dust bag, the box and any warranty card: they matter for repairs and for resale. Swiss watches carry a 2- to 5-year international warranty when bought from an authorized dealer, and buyers in the EU and UK also have a legal guarantee of at least two years on new goods.

How we make the call: we read the house’s own product details and care guides, compare materials and construction, follow owners’ long-term experience and track the usual retail and resale prices. A piece gets “Buy” only if we would tell a friend to spend that money on it. No fashion house can pay for a verdict.
