So, I was wondering, like, what kind of sunglasses would look best on me? What suits me best? So, like, after looking at many many many many different styles and such, I came to a conclusion. Well, I mean, a tie, lol, not the kind you wear.

My first choice:
Ray Ban Wayfarer (http://www.amazon.com/Ray-Wayfarer-Sunglasses-Polarized-Lens/dp/B0011THJA8)

My second choice:
Christian Dior "Black Tie" (http://www.bluefly.com/pages/products/detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=2081927031&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1269607&N=1269607&Nao=36&Ns=Popularity|0||Product%2bCode|1&Nu=Product+ID)

I was very close to buying the Ray Ban's until I saw the Dior shades, which are only a few dollars more! So, like, now I'm stuck.

Also, I know that some people may look down on me for wearing a fancy item like Dior, so I'm a little sad that the glasses say "Diro Homme" on the side. Why can't I have my Dior, and wear it, too? :(

So anywho! Which should I buy?

Frankly, they both suck.

These, though, are much better.

what color hair do you have?

$124.80 on a pair of sunglasses!?! Are you fucking mental?

Why not get a decent pair for a couple of dollars? I've got a pair almost exactly the same as your Dior ones; picked them up for £2.99 (about $6).

These.

Do want.

Some say it's black, some say it's brown.

What's wrong with $124.80 shades? :confused:

go with the dior.

These.

I might actually buy something there..

Thanks!

go with the dior.

I like the way you think.

I like the way you think.
or you could buy both. no need to have only one pair of sunglasses.

plus i do think that rayban makes sunglasses like Ahmadinejad has in that pic. nice sporty look.

What's wrong with $124.80 shades? :confused:
They cost 124.80 fucking dollars.

It's not as if Christian Dior shades are better at blocking the sun, or twenty times more well-made than my $6 shades.

Anyways Ruffy, did no-one tell you?

This years fashion is all bric-a-brac charity shop chic. :p

Dior, duh.

Down to two, neither of which are the ones you provided pix for.

and/or
the ones used by the hairstylist in Mannequin (pic soon)

Ummm...the $10 pair at walmart?

They cost 124.80 fucking dollars.

^This.

:rolleyes: It's not about blocking sun

They're both ugly (and incredibly overpriced, and I'm a materialistic asshole so that's saying something) - get a $8 pair that is equally as good (and looks better, too).

The Beamerman is right.

Go for shades with flowers on them!

Of the two, the Dior ones win by a mile.

Of these two and any reasonably priced pair of decent quality, both of the former lose by twenty miles.



Don't buy crappy ones from a cheap-item store unless you can check them for the quality of their UV light block.

:rolleyes: It's not about blocking sun
Oh.

Well if it's about wasting your money on a brand name, then go with the silliest, most expensive item available.

Hm..

You really need to try them on to see which looks best with your face shape

And we call people who make such a fuss over other people's choice of label "cheapasses".

But that requires leaving the house. :(

you mean so that *I* can be the one who technically overpaid for a pair of sunglasses by $19,735?

at least youd get free shipping?

OHMYGOD i checked, it doesnt qualify for free shipping so youd have to pay $20009!

screw that! no you may not borrow the money.

I haven't seen a pair of sunglasses even CLOSE to as ugly as either of those since Dame Edna.

Save your money, and buy something else...

LOL. Big round ones.

My grandfather was an opthamologist, and he said you should get the biggest ones you could find, to protect your eyes better.

Or buy something enclosed. I think it was ASD who already posted a link to safety glasses - there are some really nice ones available through some of those suppliers.

Just go to your local pharmacy, they should have some sunglasses. $20-30, better than wall-mart crap, they'll probably look better, and they probably have better protection from UVA/UVB than the $100+ ones.

These:

Eyes and ears at the same time. Sure, there might be some annoying blinking lights at the side, but who cares ?
And less than 10 euros as well for the 512 mb version.
