Ray-Ban Wayfarers, black or tortoise?

[chenzhongbi]

Almost pulled the trigger at the tortoise one, but got cold feet.
I think tortoise looks more fun and vintage, while black looks more classic, which will never go wrong.
Any thoughts?
BTW, I'm asian, if that helps deciding the color.
Thanks.

Please don't wear wayfarers this year. Do something original.

I've been eying the club masters offered by Jcrew. Has a really class look to it. I wonder if its pull off-able. Link here: http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/Mens...9362/19362.jsp

I would go with tortoise.
Black wayfarers always look bad on my white face.

There's an oxymoron in here somewhere.

I need sunglasses and like wayfarers also, but I'm in the process of trying to find something a bit less hyped at the moment. I want classic/vintage...but also something that will go with anything. That's why wayfarers are so great...it's too bad they are the must have accessory of every teenage girl. What do you think of these http://www.eyeglassboy.com/images/Scura_DA_6.jpg They are smaller than the wayfarers. Think Andy Warhol sized glasses

I'm asian... went for the tortoise. Do it.

Thanks guys. Already went for the tortoise frame.
BTW, IMHO it's verging on ridiculous trying to avoid anything considered as "in" by the mass. As long as the item looks good and suits your style, just go for it. Life is too short to waste on waiting for the end of certain hype/tides.

Glad to someone on here thinks like me!
People try so hard to be unoriginal but nothing is original anymore.stuff in so called smaller stores or non-malls still are massed produced no matter what way you look at it

Also

Anyone have noises wayfares. I got the new style in black couple of months ago and they were really really noisy and cracky. Exchanged for another and that one slowly did the same thing too. Just went and returned them and wondering if thats just a normal thing for them.THey were nice glasses though.
