      ^ I can't get along with heavy / bulky eyewear.

      My sunglasses are also from the lightweight section.  🙂 ->

          I normally go for wayfarer shapes for sunglasses, work very well for my shape and look. Aviators work too, but just not that fond of them.

          Of all companies, maybe because of the Italian roots, I always LOVE Persol but own none as I am picky. I am hoping my recent purchase gets me a pair I will love. They should be dead on to what I like nowadays and the price was fair for authentic Persols.

            Choosing for eyeglasses sucks!
            After weeks months of research online and in some opticians are these glasses the current favorite .. not satisfied at all  ::)

                    Thx for the input, buddy  🙂

                    The glasses are not bad, but the colouring is too loud and the frame a bit boring  😎 :-\  😉 …
                    whatever - my personal deadline is End of June .. insofar .... blessedly, I'm not under pressure.  🙂

                    Edit: Cheers for the advice with 'Original Penguin' .. there are some nice other types / frames  🙂

                    for example ->

                                I find them a bit cheap feeling myself, and they're a bit fashion-y for my tastes.
                                The frames come off quite big and chunky. But that could also just be a personal preference!
                                I'm a noted fan of Moscot (mainly since I can get them for a very fair price personally) and find their shapes a bit more classic.
                                I need to get into Japanese eyewear honestly, just unsure of where to start.

                                    Mates have bought some from cubitts and also Bailey & Nelson.

                                    Handmade by them and pretty damn reasonable pricing. May not be what you are after though!

                                            It's done .. I've made my decision -> PERSOL 3050 V 966

                                            … and I'm very happy, I can devote my time again for more pleasant things.  😉

                                            Thx a lot to all for the assistance - esp. @Jordonf9 for the inspiration with Persol Glasses.
