Sunglasses

I found a pair of mirrored Aviators at Leeds festival last year and they're amazing. They make me look like goose from Top Gun.

I am a combination of ENBB and Rock Hardy. I bought expensive, really nice, prescription sunglasses two summers in a row and lost them within weeks of getting them. Now I have a pair of regular glasses converted into sunglasses but I hate them and never wear them because they're small and look more like medically-tinted glasses than stylish sunglasses. Rubbish.

I'm a Persol kinda guy. My current pair:

I also have a pair of large Rayban aviators. I tire of them though. That's why I went with the slightly different (and smaller) caravans.

I have Marc Jacobs aviators, sadly they don't block the wind as this pic shows!

lets all hear it

ENBB IS SO HOTT

im talkin pepperoni pizza HOTT

ronan & baaderonix are pathetic.

?

you just don't add up. get over it.

Deeznuts, I'm gonna say it cause you can't see it, as I'm wearing my Miu Miu sunglasses, I'm rolling my eyes.

(ENBB is hott though.)

baader's & ronans' glasses are HOTTT. I love aviators but they make me look like Count Chubulon.

I've got bangs to my eyebrows and a really round face so most any pair of non-lennon sunglasses make me look like a dome of Shelley Duvall hair+a black field+a semicircle of skin. Plus it's hard to find sunglasses that don't squish my big head. So forever I will squint.

you just don't add up. get over it.

yeah you're right, I should be hitting on people on the net like you, you creep.

Ronan, those sunnies are great dude.

hey ronan, just admit that youre a sad pathetic loser who wont ever win at life. we'll just agree to be 'friends' you poor pathetic fucker.

btw harrison ford kicks your ass and will embarrass you goodbye

This is me wearing my favorite pair of sunglasses.

Deeznuts, what the fuck man.

to be fair to deeznuts, i think he has something of a point, and its about time someone had the balls to say it

xpost Yes, especially on a thread about sunglasses. I'm very sure that Ronan is now crying on his pillow and that his mummy needs to comfort him because some twit on the net has been so candid about his views on Ronan, a guy he knows so little about.

Can I just point out that Ed rules? kthxbye.

I can't wear my sunglasses anymore. If I did, I'd see fuckall. :-(

ENBB is gorgeous yes, and I think I've just figured out who she reminds me of:

So we all know what she's got to look forward to.

well its just that when it comes to accessories, and i have to say sunglasses are just the most obvious example of this, political correctness has taken over so much that its basically impossible, or "socially impolite" if you like..to call someone out on their sunglasses, much less call them a cunt. i dont think its anyones fault per se that things have turned out this way, we're probably our own worst internal censors, but if deeznuts wants to call ronan out on this, i think thats fair play, don't you?

unless you think ronan is some kind of ivory god, spinning tuning spork records from the mount?

Oh yes, you can tell so much from a pair of sunglasses.

How does that apply to one who has never been seen in sunglasses, 696?

such people should walk into a lake

I just spat out my cofee - this made my morning. Thanks, btw although I'm not sure I see it myself. A friend of mine used to refer to my Mom as Patsy because she has been known to enjoy a beverage or two and still smokes like a chimney and yeah, there is a slight resemblance there too.

get wading, G.

DO WANT

When you get up in the morning, and the light hurts your head
The first thing you do, when you get up out of bed
Is hit the streets a-runnin, and try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses

Spied a little thing, and I followed her all night
In funky fine Levis, and her sweaters kind of tight
She had a west coast strut that was as sweet as molasses
But what really knocked me out was her cheap sunglasses

(solo)

Now go out and get yourself some big black frames
With the glass so dark thay won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you, 'cause they come in two classes:
Rhinestone shades or cheap sunglasses

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

what do you mean? i have been seen in sunglasses

I've seen Gareth in sunglasses. I've also seen Gareth make heavily sarcastic posts.

Right now my sunglasses look is big, black, Breakfast-At-Tiffanys-style shades from Top Shop. I am the one with the dark red hair wearing said sunglasses.

Those look FANTASTIC. (Sorry to say, but I don't like the ones on the left much. Sorry!)

Agreed! Anna, yours are great.

Thank you ladies.

If you keep your sunglasses on all day, when you take them off at sunset you get an extra hour of light

Should I pay $150 for some ray ban clubmasters or be be content with these cheap knockoffs?

I lost the only pair of real Ray Bans I ever bought within a month. I’ve had several pairs of $10 sunglasses for 20 years.

you should rock the cheap pair. spend the money on something important, like beer or records

I’ve also lost a pair of RBs that I had for like ten years, some aviators, in Central Park. Fuck

i always lost cheap sunglasses. when i finally bought expensive ones it made me care about them enough that i never lost them. this strategy may not work for everyone.

cheap sunglasses are not protective, better to squint

Rocking some $15 Caravans

I have a pair of black Wayfairer Original Classics that I've had for 11 years. They are now several prescriptions old and don't have progressive lenses that I now need so I mostly wear them to play ultimate. Thinking of getting something new, but not sure what.

My wife's theory is that the more you pay for your sunglasses, the less likely you are to lose them, but I suspect that shifts on a case by case basis. I do know that I love my Ray-Bans, which may be only the third pair of sunglasses I've ever owned. Because I did lose the previous ones (in very exotic locales!).

Though did I lose them? I know exactly where they are/were, they were just irretrievable, so I suppose not so much lost as lost, as in, "lost to the sea." I have a friend who used to own the exact same style of glasses as me who dropped them in a music festival porta-potty. He said for a split second he debated fishing them out somehow. That's the downside of paying more for glasses.

Has it been discussed here yet that, when ostentatiously checking out somebody who has just entered the room, whether it is cooler to lift one's sunglasses up, or down?

A sunny day almost spring and everyone is wearing sunglasses
Does everyone have them like perched somewhere by their front door for easy access for today?
Maybe I’m not in the routine or something
