The police glasses or pilot glasses are party glasses in an aviator style, with dark teardrop-shaped lenses in a thin silver-colored frame. They are the type of glasses you immediately associate with a police officer on a motorcycle or a pilot in the cockpit, and with them you achieve a uniform look in one go. They are intended for adults and are easy to take along during carnival or to a theme party.
Frame and lenses of these pilot glasses
- The frame is thin and silver-colored, with a double bridge above the nose that is typical for aviator glasses.
- The lenses are large and teardrop-shaped, and they are so darkly tinted that your eyes are barely visible behind them.
- The slender temples continue in the same silver color to behind the ears.
- The glasses are supplied in the adult size.
- You only receive the glasses; you choose a cap or uniform separately.
Why do the same aviator glasses suit both a police officer and a pilot?
The aviator glasses owe their name to aviation, where the large teardrop-shaped lenses cover the entire eye. Later, the same model became popular with police officers, especially with the well-known image of the American motorcycle cop with dark lenses. Therefore, it is not the glasses but the rest of your outfit that determines whether you are recognized as a police officer or a pilot. If you wear a cap with an insignia with them, you look like a police officer; with a jacket with stripes on the sleeves you become an authority figure.
Wearing the pilot glasses during carnival or a theme party
During carnival, the pilot glasses come into their own best if you are outside a lot, for example in the parade or on a terrace, because the dark lenses belong to a tough look during the day. At an evening party indoors, you place them high on your head or hang them in the collar of your shirt, so that they remain visible without you standing in the dark. Combine them with a white or light blue shirt and a dark cap for a smart police officer look, or with a pilot jacket for the cockpit look.
Order the police glasses or pilot glasses and complete your uniform with glasses that suit both a police officer and a pilot.
