Spring/Summer Sunglasses : Official Thread 2009

Hello, since it's spring/summer season, thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to sunglasses. I am looking for a new pair myself, so I think it'll benefit everyone on the same boat.

Here are the styles(not the exact model/brand) I've been seeing a lot lately, but of course, not for everyone...

Oakley Frogskinns / Ray-Ban Wafarers

LV Evidence

Ray-Ban RB4112

Ray-Ban RB3361

I am leaning more towards the Frogskin/Aviator styles myself, but I think best idea would be visit the stores at malls to find out !

Despite my distaste for 80/90s sunglasses, I'd stick w/ the original Ray Ban to be trendy. *sigh* rPattz wore them last summer...

Anyone know where I can find a pair like these in the GTA? (i guess they're similar to the first pair that the OP posted)

I can't get a prescription on sunglasses that have that 'curve', so i'm lookin for sunglasses that are flat like this pair. :)

Not sure if it's appropriate to ask this question in this thread, but I'll try anyways. I'm looking for a pair of sunglasses. I was told by some people that a pair of black sunglasses doesn't "work" for Chinese people. Any comments on this? Is there a "suitable" colour for a Chinese dude?

ive seen the first pair for op, but just like black color at h&m and urban outfitters.

Maybe check them out if ur downtown.

if not stores along queen street may carry them.

the lv ones look pretty cool with the added flash on the top strip, but they sure are expensive

I really like the Wayfarer. I was going to get them as my prescription glasses, but opted out as they were too big for my head. Even the 20mm lens looked big, and dats the smallest size.

I know the knockoffs come in smaller sizes, as i saw a replica at H&M and AE which were way smaller than the original Wayfarer.

I just bought a pair of Wayfarers from the B/S/T section and they're great... sadly though I think i'm gonna have to sell them again cause they aren't big enough for me, I want some sunglasses that look bigger on you and mine don't.

edit:

Anyone know where I could get them adjusted for free?

^^ good stuff.

I've been trying to snag these Police Clooney glasses for awhile, but they seem like they might be an older model.

Speaking of which, what do people think of them? Been getting mixed reviews.

to be honest with you, eyeglasses/sunglasses is a matter of a personal taste and choice.

I suggest you check them out yourself instead of relying on reviews. It doesn't really help to be honest *based on personal experience working for a lense company*

+1. glasses look very different on different people. it may look awesome on you but horrible on someone else.
