Ok, give it to me straight. Am I trapped in a time warp to want a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers .....

.... to replace the ones I lost twenty odd years ago? It's just that Boots have sent me a half price sunglasses voucher but are they so 20 years ago?

no - do it

DH had bought a pair of aviators and fell out of love with them so I got them

he then bought a pair of wayfarers and I covet them so much

Am hoping he will fall out of love with them to.

Timeless classic sunnies

Love them, accidentally sat on my pair- very sad about it

bigTillyMint · 21/03/2013 09:28

Not out of fashion - DD has just ordered a pair of fakes!

AmberNectarine · 21/03/2013 09:50

Erm, no they're on of the most on trend pairs out there!

I'm going to buy some too...sick of cheap sunnies.
I too have my Boots voucher!

I have wayfarer prescription sunglasses and love them.

Timeless classic - the evidence:-

Oversize over-done Jackie O's = Nicole Richie, "Posh" Spice
Rayban Wayfarer's = Bar Rafaeli, Anyone with cheekbones

Curtsey · 21/03/2013 10:24

I love them, and Aviators too.

AlwaysSleepingBeauty · 21/03/2013 19:06

I've had my pair for about 5 years and still get excited when I put them on. Do it:)

2sugarsandadog · 21/03/2013 19:19

I did it. Thanks so much.

Mrsroberts Boots have been very crafty in putting them in the opticians section and also by calling them designer, which their voucher excludes. If you do intend to get some give me a shout and I'll tell you how I got round it, but I do think that going back a second time and having a more helpful sales assistant well, - helped! But it's doable.

OOoh I have two pairs from twenty years ago - i just look at them and think of Magenta Devine. Will give them a try through - also have a pair of aviators but they are broken well the noseclip bit has fallen off.

My mum says I have lovely high cheekbones.... We shall see
