about UVA and so on.

Thanks again

I like sunglasses to a degree where I went and spent €150 on DKNY ones last weekend. They are one of the few accessories guys can get away with - might as well make them memorable.

There is another palace across the road called Jack Johnes which have nice smoke mirrored Aviators and black mirrored aviators for about €17. They're good quality glasses aswell. The other option is to buy online.

You'd want to be careful with cheap (and some expensive) glasses that the glass is actually doing what it is supposed to do. Some cheap ones don't offer any UVA/B protection and actually damage your eyes because your pupils dilate more.

I badly need a new pair of sunglasses myself. Those Aviator ones are certainly the business though.

I like sunglasses. I picked up a pair of Polaroids in Next the other day. Essential for driving. Having said that though, I won't pay more than 20euro on a pair. Why? I'll lose or break them.

Last pair I had, I left on the cistern of a toilet in Germany, and the pair before that, I sat on.

I have to say I have a great collection of sun glasses. My mum lives in Milan and everytime I go over I pick up a new pair.
I have a great pair of dolce & gabbana's that I got this Christmas, very Jackie O!

Ray-Bans Wayfarers are the coolest sunglasses ever, they're in every 80's video and film. I absolutely hate oakley sunglasses they're the ugliest things.
In terms of sunglasses on women, those huge white Christian Dior ones look the business

wayfarers are the absolute shizzle. absolute. shizzle. mainly because of don henley's boys of summer.

Anton17 · 13-05-2005, 15:26

I bought a great pair on ebay for less than a tenner including postage. We should start a revival. 2005 could be the summer of wayfarers.

Price doesnt affect the quality of sunglasses, as long as there UV400 they will protect your eyes.

I beg to differ. Get yourself a decent pair and compare them to a cheap pair and tell me there's no difference.

Another thing I meant to ask...

Can one really trust those stickers that are put on sun glasses on stands?
