So I just got a pair of sunglasses from ebay (Persol 714) and they don't fit me. The glasses keep on sliding down my face. Was just wondering is there any way of fixing it? Eg adding nose pad, bending the frames, etc Or do I just have to look for another model?

Just go to any store that sells sunglasses or regular glasses and they should be able to help you adjust them.

I like a really classic, cool, subtle, simple, look. I don't care for sporty, fashionable, blingy, huge, glasses. Here are some images that could help you identify my style:

I have a sort of a ovalish/squarish/roundish face. I feel like I should go for the traditional aviators, but when I try them on they feel too big/long for my face. I know Raybans have shorter aviators as well. Well what do you guys suggest? Can anyone find me frames that are identical to any of the above? Thanks

I'm in a similar position to Bonoz - I have a small, thin face and I'm after some new sunglasses. I like similar styles to Bonoz too but when I try them on they look wide on my face.

I'm looking for small sized glasses available in the UK - Preferably with mirrord lenses.

Yes there is, depending on the fit. Take it into a shop and ask them to adjust it. They can manipulate the frame to fit more comfortably. Give it a go. Worst case scenario, they can add nose pad implants.

Any online store recommendations for Tom Ford? I tried on a pair locally, but I keep seeing them for ~40% less online probably due to Canadian markups alone. I don't want to end up buying a fake.

i'm in the process of getting some shuron sunglasses and they are one of the best companies in the customer service department. if you don't know your size they will send you a variety of sizes to try on and only charge you for one pair. it's awesome to see a company trust their customers with $500 worth of frames.
