These Eye(glasse)s

ha, just ordered rayban clubmasters on sale. feel dirty.

on sale where?

germany -O-O-

not very cheap tbh

i am basically paying €50 not to have those maths symbols on my specs.

Whatever it takes, man. Like you said, being an attorney with maths glasses is one thing. Being a maths man with maths glasses is like being in a band and wearing your own band's tshirt on stage.

haha yah so sad though they are really nice and it seems like you wait five minutes and they are on sale for next to nothing

clubmasters are cool! nabisco will probably recommend shuron ronsirs as a great cheap way to get combo frames if you want them.

I have a pair of combo frames, they look better as an object of aesthetic worth than they do on my face, sadly

yah those are cool(er). basically unavailable in the eu though. the raybans were about the same pice.

digging this style. can't decide which color is best!

I really want new glasses. Something a bit more feminine, yet still stylish. Preferably black. Anyone have any recs?

hi i got these today.

very nice!

is there a men's sunglasses thread? looking for tips. usually get wayfarers or similar but thinking of trying something different.

Pretty hard to go wrong with a pair of limited edition Jupiter Camo Jawbones from Oakley.

lol

I'll give you that the (O) logo reminds me more of Saturn, though, but I guess the car company has copyright on that one.

take that to the trypophobia thread

I like a ton of sunglasses but it's so hard to know if they'll look good on your head. I'm looking for ones with circular or oval lenses, maybe gold wireframe with tortoiseshell trim. but it's pretty low on my list of demands.

yeah was kinda just wondering if there was a sunglass thread that has photos to browse

I'm horrible at picking out sunglasses. I can never shake the feeling that I ought to be also wearing a fedora at a video arcade.

those look quality

p nice! what's the brand?

i am in desparate need of new frames. keep putting it off. i have not taken my contacts out for literally months. that's bad, isn't it?

yes

elmo! take those out before you fuck up your eyes for good.

Talk to Je55e about the perils of leaving contacts in for so long.

Or me. I've done it and then fucked up eyes to the point where I wasn't allowed to wear contacts for a year. DO NOT BE LIKE ME ANDREW! Put new ones in asap. Better yet, let you eyes breathe for a couple days before doing so.

leaving in contacts: they mess up u face!

Don't ask Momus about the perils of contacts staying in, imo. Dude has an eyepatch now.

aw jeez. ok ok, i'll take them out.

this thread always make me feel like having one pair of glasses is so passe! and i'm still proud of myself for getting new glasses this spring after 4 years of off&on wearing the same old ones (mostly not wearing/not seeing). but i don't even know how i would go about choosing between different glasses on a given day. unless i had hot pink ones and glittery ones and severe ones etc, but then i'd feel like i was costuming up life too much? hm.

i don't even have contacts yet!

I have one pair! I haven't regularly worn glasses since sixth grade, up until this year. Then suddenly, I got glasses I liked wearing, my eyes have gotten drier, and now they seem like a good option!

I have a friend who has vision so wonky that he has to wear contacts AND glasses, and he has a habit of squinting or closing his eyes when thinking, because if he gets distracted his eyes tend to drift! He has a number of fashionable pairs of glasses. He is also an architect and lived in Barcelona for a bit, so...

only scottish ppl rrrobyn

sorry, but those oakleys are hideous. only cool sunglasses oakley ever made:

(want these, go for like >$200 on ebay though)

^^ Ah. An aristocrat.

i feel like i have to have more than 1 pair of specs because i react with pointless anxiety about coordinating stuff, srsly like UGH these glasses don't GO with ANYTHING I WANT TO WEAR, i can't wear black shoes with tortoise frames!? 1 option is not enough.

i am kinda silly that way

robyn, elmo: I do have about 15 pairs and yeah, some days I do get a little anxious about whether I'm ~choosing the right pair~ but it's nice to have at least a few options! I have a few: serious, funky, specific colours, nerdy, subtle.. I wear a certain 'perfect' black framed pair probably 50% of my time and rotate the others in off and on. I have a few pairs I just haven't worn for months because they fell out of my favour.

So yeah. No new glasses or even looking at glasses websites for me until my prescription changes!
