What type of sunglasses do you wear??

[Aunt Bea]

I am thinking about buying new sunglasses, and I was wondering what type to get...... I need a new look.....I am changing my appearance, and I want to know what you girls that are up on current styles think I should get. any help would be appreciated!

[kitsch_k]

what's the shape of your face?

[Aunt Bea]

my face is very skinny. higher cheekbones. brown hair, if that matters.

[ricci]

careful buying sunglasses bea. Going for a name brand like some silly californian can simply net you a lighter pocketbook and less protection for those beautiful eyes that go along with that thin face and high cheek bones.

COCO Chanel for the win!!! I like LV shades too, depends on what you like when you try them on. Be sure they have UV protection.

Thanks Kitty, I will check those out. I havent heard of them, but in this new phase in my life, I am learning to try new things.

[Aunt Bea]

[anne022196]

I have always loved Oakleys. They have really come along nicely in the past few years with making their sunglasses more feminine and a little less sporty. I like my sunglasses for their function, not only fashion and these seem to be a nice blend of the two. Oakleys lenses are just more clear than anything else I have found. Also, polarized sunglasses is a necessity for me. My husband LOVES waterskiing and the glare off of the water can be horrific. Good Luck with your search Aunt Bea

[ricci]

You are right romy, oakleys are definitely more feminine these days.
Probably marketing to the feminization of the US, but they are definitely more feminine for sure.

Trouble is, their quality is suspect. Maybe oakley is at the end of their life cycle?

[Aunt Bea]

really? I have never heard of quality issues like that. I have heard of fuel pumps going bad though.

Well, so be it. I visit another foum sometimes and allof us have pics of ourselves posted. This seems to be a very nice forum and I do not think it would do any harm to post a picture. Maybe buy the new sunglasses, put them on and then post up.

Darlin', you're missing out. Root oil is exactly what you need.

I second that. I really appreciate them for reducing the glare from windshields and chrome. I'm also surprised how helpful they can be while driving in fog or snowy conditions.

I have a pair of Chanel sunglasses,but i need some that i can put prescription lenses in because i am blind as a bat.But my preference are Ray Bans.
I would go with Chanel's Aunt Bea.

[DianneMK]

Oh...Aunt Bea, Coach also has some nice sunglasses too.

[twocents]

I think as long as you look for what fits your face in a style you like you should be good to go. I usually go for anything that is tortoise shell regardless of what is popular.

Classic look like that never goes out of style.

[PrettyinPink]

I think the shape of the glasses really depends on the shape of your face. I have such a hard time finding sunglasses that go with my head, so I stick to two trusty pairs that I know look good: a pair of large black Chanel frames, and a pair of tortoise shell Dior....between those two they go with everything.

[miss_tina]

i have a rounder face.. not very skiinny.. and I always tend to go for bigger sunglasses, it just suits me better!

Currently i have a empirior armani sunglasses, which i love love

[DianneMK]

Aunt Bea...look at my picture which is my avatar.I think it is kind of cool to see what others look like.I like putting names with faces.After all,we are all friends here.

[MerdeCat]

Romy, is your man a male model type? Just wondering about the fascination with the oakley marketing machine.

[Romy]

No, my husband's offshore raceboat is sponsored by Oakley. We get all of our sunglasses for cost, plus they pay him to attend and bring the boat to special events.

[ricci]

Well Romy, as you know I am disenchanted with oakley quality, but if they were sponsoring me, I'd prop them too.

He should let you wear them though and then he can go get some man glasses, if ya know what I mean .

[laura]

these are the ones i wear...please excuse the fact that i'm looking like a sketchball in the background.

[ricci]

Those are hot Laura

[Aunt Bea]

Yea those are pretty sexy laura! WOW! I bet the boys go ga-ga over you when you were those!

[noodles]

MOSCHINOS. I'd slap a picture, but I'm at work atm

[nacody]

[stargurl84]
