Title: Its almost 'treat yourself Friday'
Post by: Edition30 on May 21, 2012, 08:24:05 pm
Well its almost payday and you have to treat yourself every now and then so im after some Sunglasses.


I like the Ray Ban Aviators and just wondered what people have and the best place to buy?

Not overly convinced on these bargains on Amazon...don't fancy spending £50 on some fakes :fighting:

I got the mirror finish ray ban aviators from Vegas a couple of years back $120 so saved a bit on uk price if you know anyone going stateside. I did see a groupon voucher the other week thought for a £60 voucher for £25 at an online sunglasses store. It worked out to be a good saving if you fall lucky with it again.

Look cool as f*ck too! :wink:

Oakleys all the way!!

Raybans are so 80's  - my opinion anyway

Oakleys are too over designed these days. Raf Simons do a nice modern take on the Aviator style, but for me you can't beat Tom Ford sunglasses.

I bought a pair of Aviator's last summer and having never really worn shades in my life, haven't stopped wearing mine when the sun is out.

Mine are a variant of the traditional style with wider plastic arms rather than the thin metal as they suit my baldy head/face better. Go for the polarised len's as well, its like giving your eyes a bath on a bright summers day....A bit of a weird explanation  :stupid: but go and try some and you'll see what I mean.

I ended up paying full price for them at the sunglasses hut at around £180 (but did get my wife a free pair of decent DKNY shades too - which had been up at £100)

Its not worth shelling money out on ebay just in case they are fakes imo

I got my Oakley's from Selfridges and they were scratch proof, send them to Oakley 3 years later with a scratch on them (snowboarding wipeout) and they replaced the lenses FOC  :happy2:

Still waiting for the call back.


Still not decided on a pair yet, I like the Tom Ford stuff...almost twice the price though.
