Anyone know what type or a similar style sunglasses that River Phoenix has in this photo?(from the movie My Own Private Idaho)

It like a modified aviator where the bottom isn't rounded. This is something I really like cause it has the aviator style without the round bottom which seems to make my face a bit too long.


Anyone have any recommendations of something similar?

It's a little like the mosley tribes enforcer? Maybe wider horizontally...

Ahh very good thank you! ...yeah...that basically is the exact style. Im not going to spend that much on sunglasses....plus i wish the metal frame was a little thicker. I was looking and found these American Optical Original Pilot which have the same style also for $50. Though I dont like the straight metal part around that lays on top of your ears as much(whatever the hell thats called on frames )*edit* I mean the temple..I like the Spatula style http://www.eyewearplanet.com/ao-orig...mm-matte.html#

The defining feature of River Phoenix' sunglasses to me is that they appear to be completely flat, with no curvature around the head. I think the similar styles posted here soften the effect, and lose that severe/modernist edge.

Good point. I knew something was off...but you are right the curvature around the head is different.

So basically the only place to find that look now is cheap $5 sunglasses from walgreens since cheaper ones tend to be flat.
