Sunglasses

[Joshua s]

Hi everyone,

I've been looking at different sunglasses, for future reference mainly, as I don't have the money (or the inclination) to make a purchase at this time.

I've been looking at a few different ones and wanted your opinions...

I really like the Aeros, but there's just something about those Cazal 922's that I find really fascinating.....I dunno, though. Bet I'd look ridiculous in them....

Any other suggestions welcome.

Oh, and I guess I could include a pic of me, in case that might help.

Personally, i'd try to find a sunglass store at your nearby mall to try on different designs and shapes to see what you like. Deciding between completely different shapes online without knowing how they'd look on you is risky.

you really can`t buy online, you have to try them in person

unless you`ve tried them in person and then want to order online to save $$

but you can always get 30-50%+ discount in person anyways so..

I would agree, you really need to try them on. Maybe if you list your location someone can recommend a good store.

Check this site first though : Choosing the right sunglasses.

I would say your face is a bit oblong.

Pssh. Sunglasses should be awesome, and those oliver peoples are boring as ****. 80s cazals off eBay are you. Carrera could be cool too; a lot of modern designer sunglasses look like their vintage ski eyewear..

Modern Amusement has a lot of different styles, and the prices are reasonable.

you can never tell sunglasses till you put them on.
But you know, i fail at stylish, my sunglasses are quite conservative

I live in East Central Mississippi.

I pretty much knew I'd need to go and try them on. I was mainly using this as a sounding board for what I'd looked at so far, plus to get other reccos for different brands.

Thanks muchly for the feedback so far!

Hmmm. What about Sunglass Hut? I thought I'd heard it mentioned on here before.

I found one about 30 miles from me at a mall I frequent. Funny, I've never noticed it before when I was there......

Eek, sorry for the double post....

Well don't just "fail at stylish", try to improve it, you can do MUCH better than the sunglasses I saw you in.

I saw these and immediately thought "B-B-B-Benny and the Jets" those things totally look like they would be worn by Elton John. That aside I have a pair of Spy M2s that I like. Most guys on here wouldnt dig on them but they fit my head pretty decent and look ok.

He doesn't look like he would wear something like gold oversized Cazals.

 

[Joshua s]

Heh, you're right, I wouldn't.

I also wouldn't want to be associated with Elton John either.......

Whatever, all I'm saying is that if you want to be fabulous you've got to be fabulous.

 

[Joshua s]

If being fabulous means I gotta wear a pair of orange bike reflectors on my head, then I don't want to be fabulous.
