So glad I bought Persol 649's, they are so well made and look great. I was afraid for a while because of the price but they are totally worth it

I've had **** luck with sunglasses over the last 2 years. Two Paul Smith pairs have been awful; one had leather wrapped frames that started to peel after like a week and the other pair's ear rest thing was loose and made them sit uneven on my face. Another Tom Ford pair that I just got for this summer I had to send back because the screw holding the lens in worked itself loose and then the lens popped right out. I tightened it but it happened again a week later

Maybe it's time to get some UO aviators...hmmm

^^ I love my Paul Smith wayfarers, the optics are great, the only thing I could complain about is that they let in some sunlight over the top of the glasses which is annoying.

Mmm yeah... I'm going to have to ask if anyone know about a similar looking pair of sunglasses, maybe larger size?

Ok, so I'm deciding between the 2 pairs of Super: Andrea Ivory and Basic Wayfarer in Grey. Let me hear your thoughts on the two (which one would you choose?) and the brand itself (acetate plastic, Zeiss lense). I can get them for half off though, so $60-80 range.

I have a round face and Asian ethnicity. Can I pull off these Rayban wayfarer?

Aside from the above, can you suggest any other sunglasses that will look good on me?

So I just received my Ray Ban Wayfarers in the mail today, and I ordered the largest size they come in (2140, 54mm). I have a pretty big head, but I still feel like these may be a smidgen too large for me. Thoughts?

PS: Sorry about all the toothpaste and **** on my bathroom mirror
