I’m interested in getting a classic pair of sunglasses. Some possibilities include the Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer (RB2140) or Persol 714 or 2869. Before I begin to try them on, though, I wanted to get some high-level advice from the board. How would you describe the shape of my face, and what styles would be most promising? Because the large number of sunglasses available could easily lead to decision paralysis, I’d like to restrict my search to Ray-Ban and Persol at this time.

I am interested to purchase Acetate Frame Sunglasses ideally with Polarized Glass lenses and have narrowed few options.
Currently I own a Persol PO714SM Havana Acetate SM Edition with blue crystal glass lenses and love those glasses.
Would appreciate any feedback which one of these below would qualify is the best quality glasses and value.
If there are any other options i should look into as well.

1. Salt Optics - ELIHU Model (Matte Mauve Mist, Polarized CR39 G15 Lens) : $425

2. Oliver Peoples - Cocobolo Brown Polarised Acetate: $395

Note: I can get these cheaper for approx $240 online so a good value.


3. KINGSMAN - Cutler and Gross square Frame Tortoiseshell Acetate Sunglasses : $550

Note: These are not Polarized Glass lenses however so not a great value at $550.

4. Oliver Goldsmith - Lord (1961) WAKEME Sunglasses : $285

My understanding, as a neophyte to sunglasses, is that of the brands you've listed Salt and Cutler and Gross would be considered of the highest quality (maybe the Oliver Goldsmiths would be up there as well, I'm not sure). Check out this thread which breaks down a lot of the better brands: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/a-thread-for-sunglasses-high-end-and-rarities-welcome.384084/
