Cutler & Gross 0851 to replace Ray-Ban Aviators: Opinions?

[Sherlockian]

The KJI comparisons seem a little unkind. I actually thought more of Yoko Ono or, perhaps more alarmingly, Mischa Barton.

I've certainly seen worse. Guys successfully pulling off larger shades need to have a certain swagger, and it appears that you do, so ergo they are not FAIL material.

I certainly do not mean to be unkind. I like how he dresses and I appreciate his style in general. I just don't think large soft curved frames look good on his head.

I would go for something more angular and sharp with thinner overall materials.

The aviators look good on you. These shades, with their expansive lenses and translucent tinting, are more like what an unstylish dictator (ie non-LK) would wear: Gaddafi or KJI.

Should your eyes be centered in the middle of the sunglasses frame/ eye opening? I've heard that about regular eyeglasses, but am unsure how it translates to sunglasses. Of course, it is generally harder to see one's eyes when one is wearing sunglasses than eyeglasses, but in my experience, unless the lens are mirror tented, you can see someone's eyes fairly easily under some lighting conditions.

I ask this because I noticed that, if you look closely, foof's Cutler & Gross' fit so that his eye/ pupils are towards the middle and not in the center of the frames.

I'm not trying to criticize, btw, just looking to learn.
