Ray-Ban sunglasses are truly iconic. Their original and timeless designs have acquired cult status since first hitting the scene in America in the ’30s. Although the brand launched with the now-famous Aviators – designed to protect US Air Force pilots’ eyes against glare at high altitudes – it was the Wayfarers that made Ray-Bans a household name.

Wayfarers are quite simply the choice of the cool. Presidents (JFK), actors (Audrey Hepburn, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson), singers (Madonna, Bono, Debbie Harry), models (just about everyone at one point or another, plus Anna Wintour), you name them. We love them too. (And we really do. Jenna, our online editor, has three pairs!) They flatter any face, are versatile and lets you choose from a wide range of lenses such as from mirrored, anti-reflection and polarised.

David Dugmore on 6/11/2012: There's one very good reason why I should WIN these incredibly classic sunglasses - my beautiful and iconic WIFE - she insisted that I enter this competition and I simply can't let her down :)
Tarah Childes on 6/11/2012: Dear Elle and SmartBuyGlasses I've always had very sensitive eyes as well as a bit of a bump on the nose. This makes it difficult to find a good pair of sunnies. However, the classicly, effortlessly cool wayfarer is the answer for me! I just think that Ray-Ban are the headquarters when it comes to sunnies and I would consider myself so priveledged to own a pair and become a "custodian of cool". Please please please! :)
ZORINA DAWOOD on 6/11/2012: BECAUSE IM COOL LIKE THAT!
Robyn on 6/11/2012: Ray bans have been making all sorts of people feel happy and look beautiful since 1936! If a super lovely pair of sunglasses can do such wonders for the human race, then LET ME IN ON THE HAPPINESS! :D

Maxine Schuiling on 6/12/2012: I should win a pair of Ray-Ban Wayferers because I am sick of buying the cheap ones. I buy ones from the guys on the side of the road but i know i am doing my eyes a great injustice. the darkened lenses cause my pupils to dilate but the glasses obviously aren't UV protected and my eyes get damaged. so i NEED those!
MICHAEL on 6/12/2012: I need desperately to spoil my girlfriend - she would greatly appreciate this special prize!
Moushumi Maharaj on 6/12/2012: My children always tell me how old fashioned I am and they will be pleasantly surprised when they see me in these trendy shades!!

lauren G on 6/12/2012: i sat on my vintage sunnies last weekend and they broke so a pair of Ray Ban wayfarers would be AMAZING right now. And the added bonus is that they let you choose a lens: mirrored, anti-reflection and polarised. Those are huge pluses in sunnies. Please can I win a pair? :)
Raye on 6/12/2012: Not only do I really really really want to win the exact pair of glasses that I have been drooling over for months now, but I actually need to win them! Since my old frames got chipped, I have been eying out Wayfarers as my first choice for geek chic. With no extra money to replace an item that has somehow now become a "luxury", I have been just waiting and hoping for a sale to pop up, no such luck so far. It is pure fate that I have found this competition at the exact right time...
Jenny Sarah on 6/12/2012: I've bought about ten pairs of very fake Ray-Bans... while dreaming about owning the real thing. If I win these, they will be the last sunglasses I will ever need to own! I LOVE RAY-BANS!
Sabrina Fernandes on 6/12/2012: I deserve to look super cool!
Linda Laing on 6/12/2012: I am a person who does not follow fashion trends that keep changing but rather prefers the more classic timeless pieces that I could still use in ten years time and still turn heads.. that is why i will do these raybans a huge justice!!
Xolisile on 6/12/2012: it may seem like a simple pair of shades, whether they are for lounging in the sun well I know I'm the girl for them..confidence is what I wear everyday so these are the cherry on my cake..
Bridget Steer on 6/12/2012: I'm a huge Ray-Ban fan. They are the Iconic Shades! My sister in-law recently "acquired" my first pair of gold frame Wayfarers, which I bought in 1986 when I was 15, to take back to London - Cheeky lady! (check her wearing them at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150717481920657&set=t.596051270&type=3&theater Ray-Ban styles just seem to work for me - so much se that when I found the perfect reading glasses on the web, I got my optometrist to import them for me as they were not available in SA. Model RB 5206 2442 - Tortoise Shell with a purple tint! Everyone asks me where they can get them - but I won't tell! :-)
Randy on 6/12/2012: I'm rarely caught without a pair of sunglasses. The more unique & expressive they are the better.They are th best "eye-catcher" to grab anyones attention, and definitely add character 2any outfit.U have to admire the confidence tht any woman has who rocks a pair of very trendy, out-there unique sunnies. Which brands screams originality and character more than a pair of high sought after Ray-Bans. Nd aftr th post of Asanda Sizani "I can see clealy now";I will b rocking thm during the wintr seasn nw, well every chance I gt! Plz let me win!!<3<3
