Brown is trendy. Black is more conservative. That said, black will last you more seasons...

Enforcer model - It wasn't a part of the Gilt sale.

Just ordered some polarized Persol 2754 in black with crystal green lens. Anybody have any experience with these? I know most buy Persol in tortoise/brown lens.

Last weekend, I passed by someone wearing some Ray ban aviators, except the frame was wrapped with brown/black leather. Looked soooo good, but wasn't able to ask him where or even when he bought them? Does anyone know anything about this model? Seen it around? Or is it an old model? Thanks in advance.

Thanks to everyone giving his opinion in this post. I didnt think Tom Ford 126 would make such a strong run. lol I decided to go to a shop and make pics of glasses put on ME. Being in the shop that Paul Smith was my favourite. Though returning Home with the pictures I am not so sure. Unfortunatly they didnt have the Tom Ford 126 in that Shop so I could not make a picture of it on me. I think to remember though that I tried it on in another shop and it was too short for my head ... They showed me a Persol that was suppoed to be "similar" to TF126. Here are pictures with glasses on my head, please tell me your opinions! http://picasaweb.google.de/soulful.t...aiSonenbrille# Cheers, Ben

My 2762's are black, though I had the glass lenses replaced with gray Poly.

A little big, but not bad. Gilt doesn't take Sunglasses returns right? Keep'em I'm sure they'll grow (figuratively) on you.
