If only you guys were two attractive women

Great decision @Paul9221 - JMM are the nuts

So I've been rockin' a pair of Maui Jims for about 10 years. I wanted to get something a little bit bigger, because I've got a sizeable forehead and a beard, so I wanted something that didn't accentuate my gargantuan noggin'.
I went with these JMM Yves. Such amazing build quality. The packaging. Everything. Just outstanding.
I think they're fantastic, but they're bigger than I'm used to so I just want to make sure they don't look like those oversized party glasses. Thoughts?
Two more, slightly more light:
Thanks!

They look great on you @Paul9221

Looks killer @Paul9221 !
I was eyeing a pair of Yves recently too. I’ve been sporting Torinos as prescription eyeglasses and a pair of Enzos as sunnies. The heft of JMM frames takes some getting used to and I had to have my pairs adjusted a couple times to get them to comfortably fit my big head.

Rock on, man! I was eyeing the Torinos, too! Now I gotta find some of your posts to see how they look on ya
The fit is extremely comfortable for me, but I've only had to wear them for an hour straight so far. I'm really happy with them and, while I hope I don't have to buy another pair for a while, I would absolutely get another pair of JMMs in the future.

@Paul9221 the Yves look good. They might appear a little bit big in the photos as the wide angle phone camera exaggerates the size. If you have any concerns, ask a friendly optician to look them over.
That said, they look to be an oversized design from the pictures on the JMM website.
I've got a pair of the JMM Amboise on their way to me at the moment. I'd been dithering about whether to get them or not, and they'd mostly sold out. Fortunately Net-A-Porter had them in stock, with a 10% discount for first time orders, and free returns. That'll do nicely…

@Paul9221 they look great. My everyday specs are JMM Dealan's and have been considering a set of sunglasses from them, completely agree on quality etc.

I'm totally sold on these, now. I was driving with them yesterday and it felt like I had such a larger field of view with these compared to my previous pair. I just needed some friendly confirmation that I didn't look like a fool
Those Amboise look great. Based on the pics you posted earlier, I imagine these will suit you. Quite frankly, I think you could get away with just about any shape/size frame.
Post some pics once they arrive!

I had not seen the Dealan, those look great!
It seems like some places let you sub out the lenses. This being my first purchase, I just took the stock (my reseller didn't offer replacement lenses). Since you're using these as corrective glasses (if I'm reading this right), did you just order the frames from a reseller of choice and take them into your optometrist to insert your corrective lenses?

@Paul9221 I got them from my optometrist in Manchester (Seen) and they did the lenses for me. They do them for sunnys too
-
@Paul9221 the frames look good on you, so don't worry about looking like a fool.
I'll post a picture of the Amboise when they arrive. I'm going to take them to my optician to get corrective lenses (probably clear) fitted. My main worry is that the right lens will be too thick, as I've got a -6 prescription in there! :o
@LewisStonehouse I've spoken with Seen a couple of times, nearly got a pair of frames posted down to Oz from them. They seem a good company.

I have some Danish designed, Japanese made dual-tone powder coated titanium glasses by a company called Orgreen Optics. While that sentence sounds perfect, for my prescription, they have been frustrating because they are front-heavy and readily fall off. I found some glasses I liked online by Moscot that have compatible clip-on shades (Lemtosh). I found an optician on our new side of town that stocks them. Love the optician and sure enough the glasses are fantastic. I’m very excited to have them coming in soon and look forward to wearing glasses more and contacts less.
Moscot is a New York business led by a Jewish family for five generations. I love supporting an independent family business such as this, and am a big fan of their designs in general.

I have Lemtosh sunglasses and Genug eyeglasses. My wife has a pair of sunglasses also but I can't remember the model name. I've never been happier with the quality, style, and customer service from Moscot and I'll probably never buy something from another brand.

Nice @setandsetting the Lemtosh is what made me look for an optician stocking them and the optician I saw used to work for them in NYC and knows the family. He had nothing but positive things to say about them. I’m inclined to follow your lead on brand loyalty. They felt so good on my face and the fit and finish were great. I don’t really have a need for new sunnies but almost got some anyway.
-
Nice choice @henry_david - I was eyeing a pair of those because I need some sunnys, but think I'll probably just get another pair of Dealan's in a different colour for ze shades

Thanks @LewisStonehouse
Have you ever peeped Thierry Lasry? I snagged some GLCO x Thierry Lasry shades a couple years ago (I got the JMM as I wanted to have both black and patterned to choose from). These are the collab shades I already have:
Not the best image but whatever.
The collection that I like the most would have to be the Thierry Lasry x Rhude collab. Here's a snapshot:
