Do These Sunglasses Suit My Face?

Hey I recently purchased the Persol 649's. 

 

I just wanted to get any opinions on if it fits with my face or not. I left the Logo sticker on one of the lenses just in case I end up not keeping it.

Sorry about the image quality/lighting. I took these on PhotoBooth on my Mac.

Yes, I think they look good. Forewarning, a lot of people on the Men's Clothing forum prefer a much more subdued/classic/arguably-boring look and will say they are too big for you or dont work, but clearly by picking up 649's you were going for that look. I'm a big sunglasses guy, and a fan of Persols myself (I have a pair of 714s). It LOOKS like you went with the 52mm's, which IMO was a good call. Wear them with pride!

Thanks for the input. 

 

Yeah, I like the look of the 649's because they're so unique. Everyone at my college pretty much wears Wayfarers (usually knock-off) or some form of aviators. But because they're so unique I found it kind of hard to tell if they fit with my face.

 

Yeah, they're the 52mm. The 54 is definitely too big.

Actually, you need to know more...these do work for you (and congratulations), but a nice pair of Wayfarers will look great on you. Why not have both?

Man of Lint, I feel like Wayfarer's are really overdone nowadays with the huge amount of fakes out there so my appreciation for them has gone way down. Clubmasters look pretty sick though. Thanks!

Skip the played-out Wayfarer and go right for the Selima Optique Rivington (or Chad or Anthony models) icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gificon_gu_b_slayer[1].gificon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

Man, I've gotten damned tired of Wayfarers. Dig the Persols.
