although not so suitable for you, Mark, I'm afraid.

Hmm, I dunno - perhaps you could photoshop them onto Barry Krsna so I can have a look?

I have NO idea what is the look for 2006 (or 2005, or 1997, or whatever) and I don't even know what suits me. Gah :/

Whatever kind you get, I highly recommend spending the extra loot and getting polarized lenses. They are amazing, and prevent glare headaches to a fabulous degree.

You could go into an optician and try on lots of frame types to see which ones suit you, then seek out sunglasses with a similar shape. What face shape would you say you are? Square? Oval?

My face is perfectly oval :/

Well then, "frames that are a little wider at the temple, symmetric and slightly angular will add dynamism to your face".

I don't know how dynamic you want your face to be, though.

Oakley's, dude. Best lenses, great frames... hydrophilic earsocks!

"Oakley premium eyewear also surpasses the ANSI Z87.1 test for high-velocity impact protection. For this test, a pneumatic cannon accelerates a quarter-inch steel shot to 102 miles per hour. The lens is targeted straight on from three different heights, and at seven different angles. To pass the high-velocity test, no contact between the lens and eye is permitted during impact. In addition, no frame parts or lens fragments that could damage the eye may be ejected during impact."

TK Maxx is really good for sunspecs. I got a lovely pair of Trussardis for £12. You need to source your own case, though.

I got mine from tk maxx for £20. I got a case with mine, too!

ray ban sidestreet 4046. Polarized, plasticized, fantasticized. Set you back around 90 bucks but are very durable and have great lenses.

yep. Parc Guell. x-post

eleven years pass...

quick question - why were sunglasses not invented until the 1940's? wasn't there a sun in Ben Franklin's time?
