Rustycage Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've probably got 20 different pairs of sunglasses so I'm disqualified from giving advice unless "get them all" is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I have a pair of cheap aviators that I wear when I drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Different =/= cool, hipster man.Did I say it was? Different is different. I don't care one iota about hipsters or whatever the latest stupid cunt of a craze is. I just want a stylish, quality pair of sunglasses that isn't identical to what everyone else is wearing. At 31, I don't have the time nor the interest to care what the cool kids are at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB. Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) I love sunglasses, it's my biggest and most expensive weakness.I own Chanel's, Bvglari's, Cavalli's, Ford's and more.......I hardly spend money on myself. I don't buy expensive clothing much, hardly see a hairdresser, but with my love for sunglasses I totally make up for that.It's a little embarassing. I don't know why I love them so much, but I do. Every year I want at least one new one for my collection. I am talking the real ones, the ones I shouldn't buy at all.Sunglasses are just important Edited January 24, 2014 by MB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yeah but every tom dick and harry wears cheap knock off aviators and wayfarers so...Agree 100%. When in doubt by aviators. They usually look good on almost anyone, which is why I won't get them anymore. It takes a lot more time and patience to find that perfect pair.

Add sunglasses to my list of obsessions as well. It's almost embarrassing how much I'll spend for a pair, and unfortunately have lost a few along the way. For me, the bigger they are, the better. I can be in a hoodie, sweats, hair in a pony tail, no makeup, and feel like a rag. But throw on a pair of Gucci, D&G or Chanel and I somehow feel fabulous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is currently my favorite, but I already bought it 3 years ago. I just love this one, perfect for driving in my car, when the sun is low:It's a Tom Ford Edited January 24, 2014 by MB.

Lithium Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I've been wearing the standard black Ray Ban Wayfarers for a few years now. I think I need a new pair, maybe a pair of Clubmasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I wear a pair of Oakley's. I really don't have a care for whether sunglasses are designer or not, but one day my boss was wearing a very garish pair and asked me if I liked them. I asked if I could try them on, and said that they were really funky. He then told me I could keep them, which was very kind of him. I've since looked online and see they retail for over £100. When you work for a magazine, you get sent loads of expensive free stuff, sometime to review, sometimes just to keep you sweet, so he's probably owned every pair of Oakleys there ever has been and never paid a penny, but nevertheless, it was a very generous gift.

Guest Len B'stard Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Never wore em, don't like em, don't see the benefit and feel silly with em on. What do they actually help anyway, the sun still feels the same in your eyes on a sunny day, it's just everything else has a dark tint, they just feel uncomfortable, i can't wear em for 3 seconds without wanting to throw em away, they're distracting too.

Amir Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Depends on whether they have UV protection or not. My guess is the £2 aviators I got off Amazon don't :/ Probably makes it worse since I open my eyes/pupils get dilated more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinegunner Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 You get UV protection so you won't have to squint so much giving yourself premature 'crows feet' around the eyes... just thought i'd mention that added benefit for the looks-conscious.
