Personally, I just think it's the cooler lens color, exacerbated by your preferred opacity, against your warmer? skin that might be throwing you for a loop. If those were identical opacity in a dark green or brown I bet you might feel different.
I’m also not asking for anyone’s advice. Someone asked for a pic or smoke fade and I provided it. I like how they look and designed them as such. Don’t need to change anything when I’m very happy with them.
Mea culpa. I may have misread something in your post about them looking strange and you couldn't figure out why. I thought you were seekng input. Maybe I confused cityofdelusion's post with yours? I think they look fine personally.

@pechelman I agree that the frames look good.
The Rodenstock ColorMatic IQ Sun 2 range of lenses transition from a lighter to a darker tint. They have a grey that goes from a 50% to 90% tint. That might be an option.
(I considered getting those in a pair of Papa Nui Coral Cruiser Sunglasses, but the frames were too large for my prescription.)
-
It’s all good. I know no one had any ill-intent.

@pechelman Awesome Quentins!
My first pair just arrived (Cash in Folsom) and I'm stoked. Second pair is already on it's way, and I can tell this might be a budding problem...
-
nice score @SonnyTheElder !
-
Going back to Perth means going back to my JMM dealer.. ended up with a couple pairs. Limited edition Herbie collection and a pair of vendome in a beautiful greyish blue (Mink I think they call it)
Also had a reminder of how much the price increased looking through my old stuff. First pair in 2019, only AUD775. Nowadays they’re AUD1200 and above!!

@Kasi yeah some of the special collaboration ones have insane prices. luckily the AUD is in a good spot for me right now to get some.
-
@louisbosco the new frames look good, and I agree that the prices have gone up a long way.
Incidentally, OnePointSevenFour (in Sydney and Melbourne) has a sale on, which includes some JMM styles.

@Graeme shame its hard deciding what I like with frames over the internet..
-
@louisbosco that's true. It's hard enough in a shop.

Decided to keep the Smoke Fade Ichikawa after all (they somehow grew on me after I said I didn't like them on me), and bought another one in Beige.
The top ones (Black) are my prescription sunglasses (blue), the middle ones (Smoke Fade) are my daily optical glasses and the bottom ones (Beige) are yet to be determined.
-
Jacques Marie Mage have just released a range of foldable frames that they call the Éditions Pliables. I particularly like the Archibald. I don't, however, like the price.

next pair of Earls , they are so comfortable to wear .

Love how the colour pops in the sun

I noticed that my 85 % blue-tinted glasses weren’t the best for daily use when it comes to blocking the sun. So I went to the optician and ordered 85% grey-tinted prescription lenses for my black pair of Ichikawas instead. I then had them install the blue-tinted lenses from the black pair into my beige pair of Ichikawas. Now the beige pair has a purpose and will be worn in less extreme sunlight conditions.
