Teashades are a type of Psychedelic art wire-rim sunglasses. These sunglasses were often worn, usually for purely aesthetic reasons, by members of the 1960s drug counterculture, as well as by opponents of segregation. These are sometimes also called "John Lennon glasses" or "Ozzy Glasses", after Ozzy Osbourne'.
Originally, Teashade design was made up of medium-sized, perfectly round lenses, supported by pads on the bridge of the nose and a thin wire frame.
Teashades became extremely popular in the late 1960s, and when they became popular, they were often elaborated; lenses were elaborately colored, mirrored, and degregated, produced in excessively large sizes, and with the wire earpieces exaggerated. A uniquely-colored or darkened glass lens was usually preferred. Modern versions tend to have plastic lenses as do many other sunglasses.
Teashades were popularized by rock stars such as Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Ozzy Osbourne, and Janis Joplin. Teashades were worn by Seraph in the Matrix films. Ban Mido (GetBackers) and Basara Nekki (Macross 7) were never seen without their purple-lensed teashades. Former professional wrestler Bret Hart wore teashades at live and televised appearances during his wrestling career. Tim Roth also popularized teashade sunglasses.
Modern versions teashade sunglasses also come in plastix. Teashades are rare to find in shops today however can be found at many costume websites and different countries.

Styled and developed by Ray-Ban in 1937 – Aviator Sunglasses are characterized by dark, often reflective lenses having an area two or three times the area of the eye socket, and metal frames with wire temples which hook behind the ears. The contemporary models of Aviator Sunglasses are often polarized.
Aviator Sunglasses were named so because of their oblique teardrop shape, which matched those of the smoked-lens flying goggles which Ray-Ban was then selling to the Army and Navy. These sunglasses became popular, especially with Naval aviators. The design was also popular as the bar across the bridge of the nose allowed Army and Navy members to keep a cigarette on it.
According to the company, the need arose for aviator-style sunglasses because military pilots found that sun and glare protection would be helpful to aid them during day missions and dogfights. Aviator Sunglasses became known worldwide when General Douglas MacArthur landed on the beach in the Philippines in World War II. Photographers snapped several pictures of him wearing them for newspapers, and Americans instantly fell in love with them
