Come on

Any better recs?

Just get aviators, chud.

Cartier rimless if you are a richfag

Aviator if not. Spend around 300 for decent quality, and dont get the darkest lenses because thats creepy. Dont care about head shape and other pesudo science

>>18452091 (OP)
wayfarers and its variations solved it for those who don't suit aviators

>>18452095
Rimless does look pretty cool but I feel like you need a chad face to pull them off

>>18452117
No, you need specifically the cartier rimless so the other rich faggots will see it and say “yoooo that nigga got dem cartiers fr fr no cap bruh”
If it’s oakley or some shit you will just look like a dork

>>18452092
Normies call them the pedo/serial killer glasses

These are cool if you have a wide head. In general this shape in a 48-49 size is both timeless and very current.

Or any wayfarer-like thing honestly.

had 18 years, they're still my go to.

Look at Matsuda. I only wear them these days and this is my only pair of sunglasses.

>>18452095
Not a fan of rimless, especially at Cartier prices. If you get bumped wrong the frames will pop out of the lenses. I also just like the feeling of something more bulky and substantial.

>>18452159
I also really dislike anything where the inner metal frame is visible through acetate.

I’ll stick to my mauis

>>18452291
That's totally fine. If you like them and you're satisfied with them, there's no need to switch.

>>18452304
I’m just hating. They look great but very pricey

>>18452321
You can get some reps from Aliexpress

get these yesterday

>>18452321
Understandable. If you ever get the chance to see them in person, check them out. I feel the price is worth it for the workmanship, details, and quality. They really feel quite sturdy and they have some weight.

I think round lenses suit my face but I think they are kind of cringe, is there any way around that? Like a slightly understated version? idk what exactly that would be I've just always felt goofy wearing sunglasses

>>18452545
i felt the same way that's why i get these they are kinda round but not so goofy as a perfect circle

>>18452091 (OP)
They have to come up with new shapes every year, otherwise it's a stale market and customers buy nothing. Hence all this gay shit.

>>18452982
Looks like shit on this guy. He should wear something more square.

I fucking hate this thread

Before I entered it I was perfectly fine with Oakleys and Raybens. Now the posts here made me dig deeper obly to realize those brands are SHIT and now anything that isn’t japanese independent microband looks bad. I cant even afford a maui jim or costa del mar let alone any of the “good ones”

>>18452146
no they dont. your weirdo coworkers are not normies.

>>18453071
I was bullied by my classmates for having aviators 20 years ago, they literally called it pedo glasses

Just get a random pair from the dollar store.
It’s not going to affect your ability in getting laid or getting paid.

As a prescription lens guy it is so annoying how all the “designer” brands will absolutely fleece you. Even the basic lenses will cost at least as much as the frame and good lenses will cost twice as much - if they even have a store in your city or even bother with it.
Not to mention you miss out on outlets’ discounts
Still not gonna wear contacts so I’ll stick to my ray bans

>>18453252
The issue with this is lens defects. If they're a tiny bit off in terms of purely neutral magnification, they WILL give you headaches if worn for extended periods of time. I used to think this was a non-issue and constantly wore twenty dollar department store sunglasses. This was fine unless I went on a road trip or worked extended hours outdoors. Then splitting headaches it took me over a year to figure out were caused by the shitty glasses.

>>18452270
>Look at Matsuda. I only wear them these days
Looks like shit. Shit design, looks feminine and contrived, not everyone is a good designer.

Get some type of transparent lens aviator.. amber, orange, brown. Make sure the width is commensurate with your face. Don’t get some sort of mirror lens bs that makes you look like a truck driver. You want to look like a gambling addict or this guy.

>>18453682
>Shit design, looks feminine and contrived
Interesting. Could you explain why you think this?

>>18453845
I'm more about clean design, Bauhaus, form follows function. Without overdoing it and falling into the trope of minimalism, i think sunglasses should look like sunglasses and not distract from your face. I think about what a costume designer would chose for a character that would enhance him without being the main point of attention.
When people close their eyes and you ask them to think about sunglasses, they will think about something like picrel (Luxotica debate asside, it can be other brands or shapes).
Back to the Matsuda, maybe they match your vibe, but i'd see those on some obnoxious arab dealer, on R Kelly, on Salt Bae... They are like wearing a hat with feathers or something.

>>18453078
>20 years ago
Kek, I thought it was a recent phenomenon

Also that guy is obv coping after having spent money on the jeffrey dahmer glasses

>>18453850

On that note, 99% of time a character in a movie is wearing weird of interesting sunglasses (not wayfarer or aviator shape), that character is either a douchebag, a loser or the main antagonist. Which is why they make you look like a douchebag IRL.

>>18453867
Main guy but sleazy. People don't react well to this in real life, because IRL Sleazes are not just funny characters, they are crooks, druggies and douchebags. People don't get the irony.
Wearing these sunglasses is like wearing Ed Hardy t-shirts ironically, most people won't get your irony.
(you didn't ask for my full schizo take on this, but there you have it)

>>18452091 (OP)
I wear free Milwaukee safety shades that I get from work

>>18452095

>>18452091 (OP)
classic wayfarers or moscot can't go wrong

Your local prescription glass maker won't put prescription lenses in designer sunglasses for you?

I CAN FEEL IT CALLING IN THE AIR TONIGHT

Glasses are one of those items where I don't think you can follow trends. You just have to find something that works for your specific face and style and stick with it.

>>18455320
Just wear aviators because they always "look cool". Most people know they're "cool" because all the cool guys in movies wear them. If you work out outside and wear sunglasses (why?), wear sports glasses. That's it. Other sunglasses make you look retarded because you're not in a movie and you don't have a "character" (other people just see you as a random passerby, to them, you either look normal in your aviators or like a tryhard retard in your "fashionable" square or round gay glasses)
Sure, if you dress like a freak, you can wear other kinds of sunglasses. But then you already look like an idiot, so it doesn't matter. Don't pay attention to what women do. They can wear whatever they want because they get a pass. They can be "quirky" and "special" because, first, they're naturally retarded, and second, you (and so do other men) want to stick your meat baton into their slimy hole(s), so you quite essentially don't care what kind of sunglasses retarded women wear. But you will be judged for your appearance

>>18453078
>they literally called it pedo glasses
They would call any other glasses on you like that, because they wanted to bully you, weak homo, not your sunglasses

I own a a pair like those

Remember when all the incel nerds started wearing those after seeing The Matrix?

>>18452091 (OP)
What are those rectangle sunglasses called? They're not pictured here. Very popular across Med countries with both genders.
>>18455354
Why not wear aviators for outdoors work/sport too? Cops looked kino when they had those instead of those cyclist glasses

>>18460549
They're similar to goliath 2 glasses

GM OP get GM

>>18459753
What do you mean? I'm wearing them in the year 2025

>>18452091 (OP)
Aviators and Wayfarers in your favorite color. Don't make it difficult.

I have reflective blue lense, orange lense, gray lense, and 3 variations of black.

>>18453458
Really? I buy cheapish ones all the time, have terrible vision, and wear them for hours all the time. Never once had a headache from em.

Get some Ray-Ban aviators.

Anyone knows sunglasses with 3 pins at the front with somewhat rounder / vintage shape?

Do these Prada sunglasses look good? Are designer sunglasses an overpriced scam like everything else? I can't wear aviators or wayfarers because I'm non-white. It's either something like this or I'm getting wraparounds for cholomaxing.

In that era people were still having sex. It wasn't until the post-2007 world that people stopped having sex.

>>18453874
These are shooting glasses.

>>18464901
Ray bans are for manlets

>>18452146
only a plus if you aren't ugly

So what is someone supposed to buy that's not Luxottica garbage ? Don't say some retarded Japanese artisan that sells them for a grand

>>18460549
> Why not wear aviators for outdoors work/sport too?
eye protection needs to cover the side of your eyes too.

>>18465584
I think they look good. Just shop around on FB Marketplace or something and you can find em for way cheaper.
I got these yesterday for $180 and I think they look amazing.

>>18455354
Only boomers think aviators are cool. They look like a costume.

Either feel things or order knockoffs off Ali.

What are those sunglasses that cholos in La wear?

probably those.

reflectacles makes some goofy shades, plus they're all anti-IR

>>18452091 (OP)
Recs on similar sunglasses?

>>18452270
Seconding Matsuda.

But before you buy Sunglasses this expensive you should own a proper wardrobe including one good suit, a decent watch. Sunglasses are a premiere accessory, but not the first thing you buy for a bunch of money. Certainly before you get a nice wallet or a second style in your wardrobe, but it's by itself not a stand-out piece worth being more expensive than everything else you own.

Did this with JMM wearing mostly vintage, it looked bad. Apart from the fact that the JMM are way too large.

>>18462318
Would get these when a poor schmuck who bought them tries to sell them on ebay.
For someone less obnoxious about branding I'd just get a fake off of Aliexpress. They're pretty decent and the original doesn't compare in terms of performance.

>>18465584
Would also get designer sunglasses in general off of ebay second hand or from vintage dealers. They rarely have any wear at all, are sold at an apropriate price, and might even be a steal on ebay since very few people buy designer sunglasses (or designer stuff in general) second hand.
