Continuation thread of >>18095456

I had rayban wayfarer since forever but I am annoyed by their weight and thick frames and ear grip

can you recommend me sunglasses with same quality lenses but with thin classy ear grip and not aviator style
hexagon or square-ish, round square types
doesnt have to be rayban
thank you

>>18131348
If you like the Wayfarer but have some issues with it Ray-Ban makes the New Wayfarer which is a tweaked version that it's smaller, rounder and lighter. They also have a Wayfarer 2 which is an "updated" modern version that is much slimmer

WTB aviators with yellow lenses

>>18131448
eyebuydirect, chose the frame, chose the lenses.

>>18131465
Thanks, but there are no yellow-lensed aviators on there

>>18131481
You fucking retard, you can get yellow lenses on every frame.

Reminder to take your sunglasses off when you’re indoors, you look like a massive asshole otherwise

>>18131485
Ooh alright found it, thanks!

>>18131490
:^)

>>18131488
what if your prescription glasses are solar progressive?

>>18131299
Found an ultimate boomer pair of Oakley Mumbros in a car at the junkyard and they were real.

>>18131299
Thinking of getting a pair of shades so I can ogle women when i'm in Japan next without getting outed as a creep.

>>18131502
You don't "find" things in other people's cars, nigga.

>>18131514
Well I still had to pay $2 for them but anything you find in a car you can keep.

>>18131488
It's part of the outfit, I can't take them off. Same with my jacket in the heat, it's part of the outfit

I am seriously considering starting my own independent eyewear brand.
I have styles that I like and would like to take inspiration from and design my own frames. I have ideas of how to use innovative materials and make them interesting
I am considering contracting out to a Japanese factory so they are top quality and I would position them in the market as a "luxury" brand
my wife works, so she could be the breadwinner while i work towards getting the brand started.
i'm really thinking of doing it, bros. i am obsessed with sunglasses and have always wanted to make my own

>>18131299
replacing my wayfarers with these

>>18131747
forgot pic

Thoughts on wood frames?

>>18131831
What happens if you sweat?

>>18131742
That’s like opening another coffee shop in Los Angeles. It’s a wildly over saturated market but if you want to throw your money into a pit of fire then do your thing my nigga

>>18131866
Then I'll probably kill myself

>>18131831
I thought those are Buffalo horn? The ones Adam Sandler wore in that movie he didn't have to act in.

>>18131915
No the buffalo horn ones are are a bit more stone-looking, more granite-like. Also very cool imo. I don't like their rimless frames much btw, to compare between these and the last ones I posted

I buy the cheap 3-pack generic wayfarers off amazon as I need them. they last for years and work great. timeless aesthetic.

>>18131931
and they probably have no UV protection and are damaging your eyes as a result

>>18131831
I saw them and thought they looked cool, but I immediately had concerns about the quality.

>>18131939
This.
>>18131931
Some of you retards are doing long term damage to your eyes buying these shitty knockoff sunglasses and you aren’t even aware of it

AO Saratoga's vs Wayfarers?
Looking for something for summer

>>18132417
Small world, I'm wearing my Saratogas today
I own both the Saratogas and the Original Wayfarers. The Saratogas are the better sunglasses, definitely. But they're not way better. They don't BTFO the wayfarers, but they are better

Is Pretavoir legit? Their prices seem reasonably good, especially for glasses made outside of Europe (Japan and USA for example) when you consider stuff like duty fees and taxes.

>>18132124
just get a pair of polaroid for 20 dollars then. they are all plastic anyway.

>>18132538
Not all plastic is created equal though. A high quality acetate is infinitely better than some cheap nylon

>>18132122
Actual Cartier with wooden frames would be totally fine. The cheap, knockoff shit that's plastered all over etsy/ebay would break in a few weeks I'd bet

>>18132974
What are some of the real world benefits of having a higher quality plastic vs a cheaper plastic?

>>18132974
acetate isnt partially expensive, unique material. a lot of budget brands are using it too. unless you will get glasses made of from a rare material like horn, ivory etc. it's pointless to pay hundreds of dollars for a luxottica.

Lifehack for euros: Meller (mellerbrand.com) sells cheap quality sunglasses on a constant 2 for 1 sale. If for some reason they don't announce one on their website at any given time, use the code BACK2X1

>>18133169
yeah but acetate at least looks and feels nicer than some injection molded nylon or even cheaper plastic

Anyone here ever owned Persol?
My sunglasses collection is basically complete except for a pair of Persols. I've always wanted one but they just keep getting more and more expensive

>>18133337
That exact model is new with tags from what looks like a very legit seller on ebay for under $140, seems kinda reasonable

>>18131495
Ah yes, a fellow super negative blind person. Life is suffering.

>>18133587
just bought them lmao

>>18133811
Another convert to the ebay life. Good on you anon, tell us how they are once they arrive

Have any anons had KD’s. They’re cheap and I was thinking of grabbing a pair but I can’t decide between the original ones or the larger version X KD’s.

>>18133841
any way to tell for sure something is legit? i might try and get some Oliver Peoples for cheap but i am new to the eBay game

>>18133930
Whether an item is legit pretty much always comes down to whether the seller is legit. In the post I made above, the seller (top right) has a full, genuine store name and thousands of feedback/reviews left, almost all positive. The item is priced at a good discount but not *too under* what you'd expect. They seem to sell other similar items, or things from vintage shops/consignment luxury goods/etc.

An example of a scam is this post. There are thousands of fake Cartiers on ebay, almost all of them are using pics straight from the Cartier site (red flag, a genuine seller generally takes their own pics, but not always like my above post), their name is some shit combo of letters and has very little feedback/sales. Even ones with a couple hundred feedback, check more deeply and you'll find they're feedback as *buyers*, not as a seller, and they've sold little to nothing before this listing. They might promise free returns but their plan is to just delete the account the moment someone buys, after shipping them a cheap knockoff.

Watch out for the seller and you'll find some deals, hidden among the scams

>>18133937
This is pretty much what I assumed. The fake ones are usually obviously fake
Thanks for the heads up, anon

What sort of glasses should I get for a long oval shaped face?

>>18134049
it doesn't matter
the face shape/frame meme is 100% bullshit

>>18134201
i mean it isn't bullshit. maybe it isn't as significant as it's made out to be but there's no doubt some styles of sunglasses fit certain face shapes better than others

polarized wayfarers on sale at nordstrom rack but they don't have the silver embellishments. what model are these? https://www.nordstromrack.com/s/ray-ban-54mm-polarized-wayfarer-sunglasses/6057773

>>18134201
>>18134280
I mean, I always stayed away from round frames because those make my face look even rounder.

>>18133602
Take the lasik pill

>>18134288
Unless you're fat and have a circle for a head it doesn't matter

>>18134049
You pretty much have the ideal face shape to wear any style of sunglasses

>>18134404
PRK is the better procedure but LASIK has the better marketing so people assume LASIK is the only option out there. There's a few different ways to get your eyes fixed. LASIK would not be my first choice
When I was in the army they'd do it for free but was disqualified due to being "higher risk of complications" due to my scelera shape or something. Bummer

>>18133146
it looks better, acetate is really nice, plus it is very durable and you can even adjust it a little bit if you need

btw do you know any sunglasses that would tick all these boxes?
>square but not d-shaped
>black
>acetate
>narrow
>frame not too thick
>slim temples
I have browsed hundreds and couldn't really find any pair like that, I don't care about brand, price, polarization

>>18134493
and to clarify it, it sounds really basic and that there are tons of sunglasses like that but usually the problem is that they are all too wide for my face

>>18131299
now that the dust has settled we all agree that prison style glasses were a horrible meme right

>>18134655
It's just something people with no personality wore to seem ironic, just like the mustache and mullet

are shield sunglasses the best type of sunglasses for someone with a triangle face?
I'm not a fan of Clubmasters and I'm chasing a more "futuristic"/avant-garde look

Greenmaxxing with rare Emporio Armani frame

>>18134690
You look like you were at Charlottesville holding a tiki torch

Can someone tell me what the purpose of metal in the arms of sunglasses is? Is it just style or is there some utility to it?

>>18131299
i got these folds
theyre not that apparent but i think
i got this insecurity over wearing sunglasses cause i think i look old/try hard
sunglasses with nasolabial folds really do look like shit if you're ugly too

i finally found frames that suited my face
should i look for simular frame?

>>18134887
it makes them more durable and hold their shape, acetate would otherwise bend over time

>>18135090
are these usually only found in sunglasses made of acetate?

>>18135172
Metal arms can also be found on sunglasses that have only... metal, in their arms. To help support the nothingness in much the same way as they support acetate.

>>18134887
Strength and it allows you to heat up the frame and adjust it without breaking the frame
It's the sign of a good quality frame. Anything without one problem isn't worth buying

>>18135485
Would you typically bend frames inward towards the head our outward to make them wider? I didn't know people did that.

>>18135747
>bend inwards to make wider
nigga, you stupid?

and ignoring the dumbass shit you are typing, one of the good thing about quality eyewear is you can heat up acetate and mold it and then it sets in that shape. so you can make the temples curve more to not slide off your face, you can bend out/in the temples to be wider/slimmer as needed.
any optician can do this for you. probably half their job is adjusting frames for people

>>18135780
>outward to make them wider

>>18134782
Lmao
This confirms my longstanding suspicion that I look racist

For me it's Miami Vice.

Polo Ralph Lauren PH4205U if anyone is interested, you rarely see black and havana being combined and it looks quite good

Thinking of buying these cheapo Zennis. I can't find any other style that I truly like enough to wear every day. Every eyewear company either has dorky designs or basedboy designs. Nothing inbetween.

>>18136171
I'm having this problem too. If I get incel glasses, I will be instantly labelled as an incel. And fuck glasses that are clear, or blue, or super thick plastic, or some insane shapes.

>>18135822
those styles belong in the past. they didn't age well

>>18136171
these are ugly, and zenni is absolute dogshit. you get what you pay for and you're not paying for much with zenni
i got a pair a few years back and they were so bad, the frame was crooked from the factory, no core wire, felt like the cheapest plastic they could find
at least go warby parker or eyebuydirect if you're doing the DTC made in china route. avoid zenni

>>18136635
Get the serial killer glasses. Better a serial killer than an incel

>>18135822
Same brother, same

>>18134690
Please do yourself a favor and have some normal lenses cut to go into those frames. No one looks good with colored mirror lenses.

>>18136656
Aviators have stood the test of time, bet you like what ever zoomer glasses are currently in trend.

>>18136866
Under what circumstance would you wear that Polaroid…..visor thing. Cycling? Fucking my mom?

>>18136888
I bought it as a joke. Wore it to a festival a couple of times. Real world application...maybe fishing? It sucks for cycling because it gets in the way of drinking from a water bottle. I wouldn't fuck your mom anon, I'm sure she's a nice lady and I'm taken.

>>18136888
Oh and I got it when everyone had pit vipers that summer so it was also to show dominance with the larger visor.

>>18136888
Oh and nice digits btw

>>18136868
Got you covered, those are actually regular glasses which come with shaded and mirrored attachments

wanna get round lens but the least gay looking I can find, suggestions?

Basically the new Pit Vipers, Hawaiian shirts or white polo and brown khakis.

>>18137174
nigga yes but what glasses?

>>18136171
I mean if you're really scared to experiment you might as well buy Zenni, just remember that the quality is absolute garbage. Expect them to get damaged shortly and need to be replaced.

>>18137186

Have a really old pair of Ray-Ban Aviators and looking for something similar but not exactly. Learned about this brand:
https://www.randolphusa.com/products/aviator-military-special-edition-matte-black
https://www.randolphusa.com/products/intruder-23k-gold-american-gray
Cop?

>>18138802
Also check out American Optical for aviators. They created the first ever aviators and were worn on the moon by the astronauts, so they have a very cool history

>>18138822
Cheers, will check

>>18138829
AO invented the design, everyone else is copying them. Randolph is usually considered the higher quality product, but AO is very good too. You have to decide if you want really good or to pay extra for really, really good

>>18133811
>>18133841
I really like them. My gf said they make me look "sleazy" which I take as a compliment
The frame was warped as fuck when it arrived but I took them to LensCrafters and a homosexual optician heated them up and fixed them. They're still slightly crooked but not enough to care. I might go back and have them readjust them in the future
Really like them and I think I'll get some 714s in the future

>>18139201
Glad to hear they worked out dude. How much less than retail were they and was it worth the extra effort? They look great

>>18139262
I got them for 150 and retail is 340 so saved 190 and going through eBay they shipped extremely fast
I am an eBay convert now. Gonna try and find some Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck frames for a good deal next

>>18139273
It usually old stock that stores needed to move that ends up on ebay. Honestly there's no reason to buy from a store unless you can some cash discount or you can have your insurance cover it.

I want to buy a pair of prada's my gf wants and they're literally half off on amazon
What are the chances they're fakes?

>>18139460
Are they being sold as new or used?
Can you see the serial number in the pictures provided by the seller?
Does the seller have the receipt from the original purchase?

If they are being sold as brand new for half off 99% chance they are fake.
If they are being sold as used without a receipt 95% chance they are fake.

Since you have such a high risk of buying fakes you might as well buy them from China yourself.

These are all around $50 https://scarlettluxury.x.yupoo.com/collections/204243?isSubCate=true

>>18139397
I've bought a lot of great clothing on ebay and in my experience the best stuff comes from one of these:
>Rich old boomers clearing out their closet, selling nice clothing they wore twice ever for a huge discount
>Professional 2nd hand boutiques and consignment stores, running off ebay (these tend to price the stuff higher but still at a good discount and with very accurate measurements/pictures)
>Old stock/model runway outfits/photoshoot clothing. Several big, very reputable stores on ebay sell just post-modelling clothes, so it's all size 40 US / 50 EU, it's all described as like-new, worn once, or it's stock that got slightly damaged in a shoot/on a mannequinn and is being sold off. These can be great bargins if you happen to have a model-shaped body.

>>18139504
Has some great points but don't trust the pics. Most scammers use pics from the actual luxury brand's own website, showing high res details and the serial. It looks real because it is, in the pics. What you recieve in the post from these sellers is the fake version and will not perfectly match the stock images, so don't rely on the pics to guess if it's genuine.

>>18139460
The quality is gonna be so shit it doesn't matter if they're real or fake

I just ordered some Real McCoys repros of the JFK sunglasses. Am I retarded?
https://therealmccoys.com/collections/accessories/products/joe-mccoy-sunglasses-geyser-brown-frame

threadly reminder to take your sunglasses off when indoors. I'm seeing a lot of people wearing shades in stores and stuff, it just makes you look like a tool.
>two kinds of people wear sunglasses indoors, movie stars and assholes

>inb4 I h-have light sensitivi-
no you don't.

>>18139704
>buying repros of a model that is in production
bro, yes you're absolutely fucking retarded buying some overpriced as fuck repro because you can actually but the exact sunglasses JFK wore
the actual sunglasses JFK wore are the american optical saratogas. they make them and they're $210 and the quality is excellent. i own the polarized version and they were $250.
https://aoeyewear.com/product/saratoga/

but feel free to spend that $470 for no reason

>>18139712
why are you so obsessed with what other people do?

>>18139712
I wear sunglasses indoors to try to hide the fact how incredibly inebriated in public I am.

>>18139713
Yeah they are a bit overpriced, but they are also made of celluloid and have deadstock 20th century glass, so they are technically more close to JFKs glasses than the AO. Also, celluloid frames take considerably more hand labor to make than acetate, so you can actually justify the higher price

>>18139731
i mean they look good, but those things you listed are mostly just memes but if you got the money, enjoy them my friend

Reccs for blue tint wayfarer style glasses? Similar to picrel but not gas station sunnies

Are small frames on a big head effay? I kinda want buy some sunglasses but they’re 133mm wide and idk if I’ll look like a retard because I have a big head

>>18139844
looks really stupid. brands make multiple sizes for a reason, so you can find a good fit
small frames looks dumb

>>18139712
Two problems with this.
First- where you do you store them? The options are to shove them on top of your head or in your pocket (which WILL quickly make the lenses filthy and risk scratching them no matter how clean you think your hair or pocket is), or to put them away in a nice case which is tedious to do regularly and means you have to carry the case.
Second- I wear prescription lenses. If I take them off, I have to either carry and put on a non-shaded pair (and case) and swap whenever I enter or leave, or else accept that anything more than half a metre away will be blurry as shit.

If I'm out all day or doing something important: Sure, I'll think about this and prepare accordingly.
If I'm just running to a local store for something: No fuck you, I'm keeping them on.

Which frame should I buy to not look like picrel or a level 10000 incel?

>>18139844
don't listen to that anon, it will look good
133 mm is the original wayfarer hinge to hinge size for example (for 50 mm model) and they fit most faces, even bigger ones
check the gq video on youtube with pierce brosnan talking about essentials and see how he wears his sunglasses, that's the perfect fit you should go for, it's insane how good he looks in them

>>18140134
aviators if you can pull them off

>>18140157
For sunglasses or optical glasses?

>>18140157
They don't look very good on prescription lenses it seems. Any alternatives?

>>18140174
>>18140194
ah ok I thought you mean sunglasses

>>18140199
>>18140134
Nothing wireframe, nothing rectangular.

>>18140234
but I keep seeing faggots, troons and feminists use non rectangular frame all the time wtf

>>18140245
Wireframes are incel and pedophile shit. Rectangle (as in actual rectangles) frames are ugly as sin and usually worn by incels
Just get something round and classic. They look good on most people and don't go out of style

Are orange/yellow aviators effay or eff nay?

t. 6'2" dude

>>18140318
I like them

>>18140260
Post pic please, I'm too dumb to find round and classic

I feel too played out. I would get either a warmer or colder colour (orange, light blue)
>>18140530
I'm all for getting the same sunglasses shape but I feel like you need some variety then in your lens color or frame color, and the little variety you do have you did right with the persol but bad with the oakleys because no one looks good with colored mirror lenses. Why have 2 black sunglasses which look almost identical (new and old wayfarer)? I do like the persols. The 2 other tortoiseshell frames aren't my thing. Over all still 6/10. Can't comment on the eye glasses

>>18140620
Based blind bro the Wayfarer is tortoise
And yeah, I'm looking to get some more color, lighter acetate frames
Not pictured is a rose pink lense gold aviator that was in my car

>>18140666
I'm phone posting but didn't bother zooming in. Still, your entire collection could be condensed down to the right column and you won't lose any versatility. Everything in the left column fits into the same role, tortoiseshell dark lense sunglasses. Maybe considering getting some after marker lenses for those frames, like a green or blue gradient for something on the left.

The only sunglasses shape I like is Wayfarers
What do?

>>18141327
>What do?
Wait till you turn 18 and hopefully outgrow your childish tastes

>>18141596
i guess more specifically i just like chunky bold frames but not overly chunky like the japanese are fans of. the wayfarer shape is perfect to me
who does a wayfarer but better than what ray ban offers?

>>18140105
Figure it out, jerkoff. Shades come off when you’re indoors.

>>18140105
Sunglasses easily fit into a case and put into your cars glovebox or center console.

https://www.oliverpeoples.com/usa/0OV5459SU--14923R
https://www.oliverpeoples.com/usa/0OV5454SU--1722P2
idk if these are the exact ones that andrew wears, but they're pretty fucking close

>>18145747
dang I think you are right! If not, yeah, they are really close. I think with the camera lens focal distortion and color grading it makes it kinda difficult to see what's truly going on. Upon closer examination the ones in the movie do have a gradient / turtle pattern that would perhaps make them the same as the third link you posted with every pair having a fairly unique pattern.

Thanks for the link, I may just have to buy. Shame about the price, though.

>>18145798
I would just find a dupe if I were you. $500 luxxotica shit isn’t that superior to $15 chinesium especially for a style that isn’t that unique, but if you got the money do your thing

>>18146428
>$500 luxxotica shit isn’t that superior to $15 chinesium
Why do poorfags insist on spreading this bullshit lie? I have not had one pair of AliExpress glasses that could hold a candle to a pair of glasses from a legit manufacturer.

You just need dark lenses. You don't NEED polarized glasses for bright sun. Go with polaroid, they a bit more expensive than KITS but they're all polarized.

>>18146428
>$500 luxxotica shit isn’t that superior to $15 chinesium
Yeah bro your 15 dollar Aliexpress specials are "totally just as good, trust me bro" as something handmade from Oliver Peoples

>>18146907
it's not even poorfags it's just funny ass shitposting
literally e v e r y sunglasses thread on fa
>nooo don't buy these $100 raybans
>buy these dollar store chinese sunglasses or buy these $700 pairs some autist makes in batches of 2 at a time

>>18147004
Why are you arguing over whether or not a mid tier product is better than a low tier product when you can simply buy a high tier product? It's pointless.

what are best glasses for sungazing?

>>18147201
>dude just buy 700 dollar sunglasses when 200 dollar ones are just as good
No. I'm not a knee grow obsessed with brands

>>18137692
lmaoing @ ur crybaby tantrum

>>18147004
it's never a bad idea to buy a cheap pair from china and go to the store and compare them to the real thing. if you're considering buying a knock off at all, money is obviously a factor for you and you should come to your own conclusion about whether or not the genuine article is worth the extra $400.

For me, it's American Optical. Made in the USA and amazing quality. 7 barrel hinges on $200 glasses? Unheard of

>>18147231
But the $200 often aren't as good. It's okay that they aren't as good, and it's okay to not buy the best. I don't really see the issue. If you're talking about what is the best, price is irrelevant. Just say you don't want to buy them anon.

>>18147285
after 200 dollars you are reaching diminishing returns and paying for a name

>>18146907
What’s the difference between a pair of 200 dollar luxxotica owned sunglasses and a pair of 500 dollar luxxotica owned sunglasses

>>18147301
300 dollars

>>18133894
I wish there were medium sized sunglasses that sit low enough to still allow my eyebrows to be visible, but not as small as the glasses in this gif.
My eyebrows are my best feature :(

>>18147301
Made in Japan vs Italy, glass vs plastic lenses, etc.

I would like to have glasses primarily for driving, with UV protection, polarization, and mirrored reflection on the outside that wrap around the sides. What should I look for?

>>18147694
it doesn't really matter without knowing your budget

>>18147729
50$, but i would rather spend 20$

>>18147735
lmao get fucked

>>18147735
Just search for polaroid sport glasses and you'll find what you're looking for

>>18147735
How about you get a job instead?

which would be the ideal shapes/styles to buy first when starting to collect sunglasses?

>>18147831
Wayfarer. Classic, goes with everything, looks good on pretty much anyone

>>18147831
The one you want. Make your own fucking choices you absolute faggot.

>>18140530
I dislike your collection, very NPC

>>18147846
the new or the old ones?

>>18147898
old
i don't get the point of new wayfarers
the whole point of them is the lean to it, otherwise it's just a pair of generic boring sunglasses

>>18147290
I never said there weren't diminishing returns. But something being not worth the money for you doesn't mean the objective value isn't there.

Man I hate/love my Ace & Tate sunglasses. They're perfect, great fit, great quality, great glasses and overal very luxurious finishing. 3 years later and sometimes people compliment me on them but they're so boring and overdone.

>>18147898
>>18147924
depends what you mean by "new"
i own both the classic wayfarers and the new wayfarers
classic is made of acetate, handmade in italy, great quality in my opinion and looks great. i love the pantoscopic tilt and think it makes them look really cool on the face. they have really nice 7 barrel hinges. these say "handmade in italy"
the new wayfarers were ray bans answer in the mid 2000s to the thin wide wraparound frames that were popular during that time (and thank god went out of style again) when the classic wayfarer shape was falling out of style. they are smaller, rounder, have no tilt. my pair is 12 years old and was made in italy, i believe pairs today are chinese made. not positive. they are NOT made of acetate, they are made of nylon. they also have luxottica's basic cheap ass 3 barrel hinges. these say "made in italy"
the wayfarer ease is just the classic wayfarer but without the tilt. everything else is the same except they are also NOT made of acetate, they are made of propionate. they still have 7 barrel hinges, still "handmade in italy" but propionate and no tilt

if you're gonna get a pair of wayfarers get the classics, they're still really good. people parrot all the time shit they hear about "muh luxottica" and "muh quality" which is not entirely untrue. but the classic wayfarers are still very good

>>18148142
forgot to mention the new wayfarers also do not have a core wire, which is always a warning sign for me and a sign of cheaping out

where to buy decent sunglasses that are cheap? wayfarers are good but I live in the desert so everything gets scarred by sand pretty quickly and I hate spending a few hundred bucks every year

I just wear 10$ supermarket sunglasses that are like ten years old

>>18149250
your poor eyes. those cheap ass frames have no UV protection, so you're actually tricking your eyes into dilating and letting in even more harmful rays

can anyone id these? they're obviously persols, but can anyone identify the model?

>>18149271
another pic of what i assume are the same sunglasses. i thought they were 649s but the shape different. it's like a wayfarer front with the 649 bridge

Are Lacoste good/cheap sunglasses?

>>18149328
Cheap shit

made this thread sometime ago. finally went with the polaroid only because of how popular rayban is. i wanted something different.

KITS Ace sun

>>18150107
Good choice. I saw that thread. Polaroid is an amazing budget brand. No point in getting expensive frames when they're so generic looking.

can anyone identify this guy's frames https://www.tiktok.com/@corktrees/video/7375529871969242410

>>18136983
Get the ones that aren't completely round, like they're less circular on their upper half

>>18150546
Oops kept scrolling down the thread, something with this shape >>18140488 is actually pretty nice

I found a pair of Armani 7151 glasses at the swap meet this morning. One side of the frame is missing a decorative metal part. Is there a place I can order a replacement?

im tryna get some rep clubmasters.

Want to wear loc glasses. What are some good glasses from them that don’t make me look like a cholo

What sunglasses is Arnold wearing in pic related?

Should I get some Havana green Persols?

>>18152115
which model?
i am actually considering some 714s with the green lenses myself

>>18150961
How much did you pay?

>>18152156

>>18152166
looks really good anon. i am a huge persol fan personally
thinking of getting one of their eyeglass frames next for days i don't want to wear contact lenses

For me, it's the humble Blublocker. I've been wearing these since I saw the Hangover 15(?) years ago

>>18152189
i checked out some of their frames on their site and where users submit photos for their reviews, it is exclusively, 100%, fat ugly retards wearing these glasses

i dont fw sunglasses that cost more than $30, but my aliexpress ones wont arrive sooner than mid july the earliest and i need something decent now
will i radiate SEX with these?

>>18152212

>>18152191
Well yeah

>>18152212
>$30 aliexpress sunglasses
Enjoy your eye damage

>>18152184
Just bought them, thanks for the motivation mate. Agree contacts arent /fa/

>>18152472
naw this garbage is even cheaper. whenever i order chink glasses its a coinflip to see if its polarized or not. i still have one really good pair of fauxmasters i bought 9 years ago i would use but the arms snapped.

I wear Pit Vipers unironically

>>18152911
No you don't

>>18152926
of course i do. they're great cycling/running glasses

>>18152754
When they arrive post them in this or the next sunglasses thread. If they look really good I might get a pair
I own some 649s so I'm curious try their other shapes

Really want a wayfarer that's not a Ray Ban Wayfarer. Trying to decide between Persol's or Oliver People's version. Help me decide
Price is irrelevant since I have a job, and I'm only deciding on the shape at the moment, not the color way

Should I get the Persol PO3269S?

>>18153176
...or the Oliver Peoples Oliver Sun?

If you buy luxottica, you are a plebian
Buy Maui Jims or something

>>18153199
>muh loxottica
maui jim is owned by kering, hypocrite. not that they ever made a single frame worth buying

>>18153129
I will monitor these threads to check your post

>>18153205
>>muh loxottica
Typical no response from a luxottica pleb

>>18153303
>wears Kering
>calls others "pleb" for wearing brands from a conglomerate

>>18153176
>>18153177
The glasses are very similar, almost the same, so I would choose Persol, I like Meflecto.

>>18153467
That's the point, they're two different flavors of the wayfarer style with very subtle differences between them
I think I like the Persol style more

>he didn't buy Matsuda or Masunaga
>inb4 thing; thing Japan :O

>>18153498
Neither are really my style at all. They're a little too "japanesey" for me. Japs love big bold designs that aren't for me

>>18153501
I buy em cause I refuse to support that fake made in Italy stuff. Plus my work benefits coughs up majority of the bill so whatever.
I only buy the thin titanium base frames anyways. I agree some of their other styles are very bold.

>>18153508
this nigga bragging about having eye insurance
bro, it's 5 bucks a month, you're hardly the first person to use it to get frames cheaper

>>18153510
I'm not bragging I meant I wouldn't buy such overpriced frames had it not been heavily discounted cause of my insurance that I don't pay for myself.
Prob would be sufficient with Zenni and stuff otherwise

>>18153516
Zenni is absolute dogshit. Not even worth wasting your time
Of the DTC brands I've tried I found Warby Parker to be the best. My old beater pair has a 7 barrel hinge, that's pretty crazy to see on a cheap pair like that
EyeBuyDirect is okay, a lot of their frames have no core wire in the temples which is a sign of cheapness. My wife's pair snapped pretty easily
Zenni has been by far the worst. Just junk, crooked frames, cheap everything. Unless you're one step up from homelessness, I'd avoid Zenni

what do we think? never bought from res/rei before.

I want some white sunglasses (frames not lenses) something like Carrera’s but not aviators. Any suggestions? As far as I know Carrera use to make a white pair but doesn’t anymore

>>18153526
Good to know.

My issue with the Luxottica brands like Persol and Oliver Peoples is they really do have the best looking designs
There's not many better options out there

is there anything that can be done to make glass lenses more smudge resistant?
you look at them and they smudge

How about club masters?

>>18154667
I like them, even though they've sort of become faggot/onions glasses

>>18154347
I feel you. I have these as my dailies. The sarver in large. I haven't found anything I like on me as much as these and that's stupid as shit because they aren't really some crazy looking design. Everything else in the spirit just seems... Off?

They don't make these anymore which sucks but I have a backup frame and I was just gonna get new lenses.

>>18154670
Honestly not sure what really to buy. I just want something classic and not too busy kek

>>18154671
These are good. The O'Malley really is to me the perfect glasses frame
I have what is essentially a clone from Salt which makes incredible frames, but I still want O'Malleys because they have a 5 barrel hinge

>>18154667
I have a pair for sunglasses.
They're super overdone at this point (I got them like 5 years ago) but I love them.

Anyone got any ideas on lookalikes or fakes? Really like these but they're $450 CAD.

Garrett Leight Lagunas 2140

are these girly and is warby parker girly? i like them but i'm also getting art hoe vibes from warby parker and i have no idea where else to buy glasses.

>>18155068
more than with girls i associate those round wireframes with gays. never met a faggot that didn't wear those
WP is fine. their lenses are cheap and scratch easily, but they glasses themselves are sturdy and shouldn't break on you

>>18155068
these are just normal glasses, it's about as classic as you can get

>>18155725
Those are not "normal" glasses

>>18155068
these are the most fuckboy glasses

>>18155729
Why do you think so?

>>18155880
maybe in asia
anywhere else "normal" glasses are probably ugly square acetate/plastic frames
like i said, the only people where i live that wear those ugly shits are le qwerky so random women and faggots

>>18155919
So should we be wearing ugly clothing because it's "normal"?

>>18156261
You do already faggot, so who cares?

>>18156265
Do you?

>>18156386
I don't wear any clothes. Why are you thinking about me naked?

>>18155068
I have a pair of these from Matsuda.
They're very in right now penguin of doom or not.

>>18155068
a chick i was dating wore these
looked really good on her
she said they were the best style and made everyone look smarter
i stole them once when i was drunk and she said i definitely started giving off professor/librarian type vibes
i agreed
if that's what you're going for, then go for it
it's very "female gaze" where guys will think it's gay but chicks dig it

Gonna get these Tom Ford frames for cheap on ebay. Cheap enough not to care if they quality isn't actually that good
