I really like to match my accessories in color, but I'm going on vacation soon and only want to get one pair of sunglasses right now.

I'm trying to decide between tortoise shell and black. While obviously tortoise shell would match brown and black for black, which would look the best clashing? Ie would tortoise shell sunglasses look better with a black outfit, or would black sunglasses look better matched with brown? Basically which one is better for an all the time pair of sunglasses?

Here is the pair I'm considering:

You should look up uniqlo, I think they have more locations than uniglo...if you are in the tri-state area.....New York, actually.

Here's a more masculine alternative... Smoke blue will match everything also.

Well Juicy Couture is not exactly my favorite company, but of all the sunglasses I tried on they looked the best. Essentially, they are just the Ray Ban Wayfarer, except shorter in height, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I love the wayfarer, but imho it's too big for my face. I actually found one pair of Persol's that looked good to me, but my friend said they looked horrible, and I also can't recall the # they were. Those ones Drizzt linked look nearly identical to my current sunglasses, even smoke blue. I'm open to suggestions. As I said, I'm looking for a wayfarer style pair of sunglasses, that don't wrap around the face at all, and are shorter in height. I also MUCHHH prefer polarized.... but personally I still like the Juicy Couture ones.

If you're feeling a bit bolder and like your clothes to clash, why not try a pair of leopard skin pattern framed sunglasses? For eyeglasses the first pair I ever had was one in this pattern and it is similar in shape to the glasses I wear now, they were by Oliver Peoples. Man I used to get so much **** at school for wearing nerdy glasses...

If I wear an 8.5 in Allen Edmonds, what size Sperry Topsiders should I get?

Not sure. I'm also not sure if I tried on the 50mm or the 54mm. I'm going to go by the sunglasses store after work to try them on again. Hopefully they work out, because I can then get polarized lenses and save 50% buying them NWT on ebay.

I still can't decide between tortoise and black though.

If you plan to wear (relatively thick) socks with them often, then 8.5. If you'll be using them as true "boat shoes", then I'd say you'd be better with an 8.

edit: nm, going to keep the shoes.

selbsttatig · Apr 9, 2008

Any idea what to wear with these? Obviously jeans but any other pants?

Yeah, they're the same ones Homi has.

Try them on and get the size that fits best.
