Anybody have any sunglasses models they can recommend me? I did have the classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers for the past 2 year, I passed them on to my younger cousin I´ve also had the Ray-Ban Aviators and now I´m after a timeless pair of sunglasses. I really don´t want any glasses that will just be popular for one season but something that will or has lasted for many season but no more Ray Bans please

I'm not a huge tortoise fan myself, but I think a pair of sleek wire frames are always in style. Quality lenses are important. Protect those peepers!

I don't get this. You've passed up two pairs of timeless Ray Ban shades and now you are asking for a recommendation for timeless shades ... but not Ray Ban? It doesn't get any more timeless than Wayfarers and Aviators.

Next in line would be Randolph military issue square aviators but if you don't like them or the Persols you are running out of options!

Have a look at Tipton from Budapest. Someone posted some nice hand-made shades from them in the Vass thread.

Well by timeless classic, what I mean is a model that wont last for just one season, maybe I may have misled you by using the word timeless, but I meant it in regards to a model that lasted for a while, anyway "Randolph Military" shall do the trick
