Wow, I've never had anyone tell me that and I actually am inclined to agree with you. I really like aviator-style shades though and I look like a dork in pretty much everything else. But I'll keep that in mind next time I go shopping for eyewear.I am inclined to agree. The lower part of the lenses sit too far down from your cheekbone area. they are making your midface area look flat.
I think people see some of their sunglasses and make a generaliztion about all of their products. I agree that some of there stuff is garbage but these are a perfect example of what else Oakley makes. Its not all cheap plastic frames.This is the pair of Oakleys I own:Hardly the jack-ass plastic things that seem to engender so much hatred around here.
the bridge is the same metal as the rest of the frames, and the O thing - well I don't find it all that noticable, but certainly not tasteless to the extent you can see it.Certainly much better than the ones I had in mind but the bridge is still plastic (or plastic-looking). And ditto what retronotmetro had to say about the O logo.
They're more acceptable, but still not all the way there.
Well, it's a personal rule. It's disappointing that it's not universally shared. I can only dream...Clearly, Oakleys are not for you. But to suggest that wearing those sunglasses with a suit would somehow be tasteless or break some "rule" is just silly.

Are you saying that your specs are more acceptable than the oakleys pictured? You should go to your local sunglass hut or O store and just try a pair on. Have an open mind, I have a feeling that you may like them. They will be much lighter on you face and may fit better than your zeiss specs.
