What is everyone's opinion on Rayban Aviators for this summer? I've always really liked them, and would like to invest in a good pair this summer. From what I've researched the best model seems to be the 3025. Also, is having mirrored aviators going a little overboard, or should I stick to a an all black or just regular look?

I am looking to get a pair of American Optical aviators. I was wondering if there was any advice for sizing, as I am deciding between 52 and 55 mm?

I usually wear around a 55 lens in other brands (persol, ray ban caravans) and wear a 52mm in AO. The bridge is 20 mm which is usually 5mm more than other brands.

Look at the Cockpit for a different look. And for the classic aviators, I always like the gold/green combo.

they do look a bit small

The problem with getting a larger pair will be that your eyes will look inset. The bridge is fairly wide so a bigger lens will make your eyes look even more inset.

Can anyone help me identify these sunglasses? Been trying to figure it out on my own, but haven't had any luck. Thanks for your help!

I really want a pair of these Moscots. I don't want to order them until I can try them on so I guess I have to wait til I make it back to NYC.

Definitely Barton Perreira. They look like ones Vinnie Chase wore last season on Entourage.
