No, I have a dark tortoiseshell pair. They suit my hair and skin so they should suit any outfit too. Might add that they're blingless, that helps them work with everything too.

burnishedsilver · 11/06/2015 08:23

No.
It was hard enough to find one pair that I like and that suit me.

noddyholder · 11/06/2015 09:12

I do Have about 6 or 7 pairs They are my 'thing' though I'm not into bags or jewellery really and don't really wear accessories much

TealFanClub · 11/06/2015 16:00

I barely wear jewellery. I only really liked earrings and rings and bracelets as necklaces make my bust look bigger
BUT ever since I needed glasses to read I find earrings AND glasses just clash

I have loads Blush

Seem to wear aviators or big black cat eyes the most though.

noddyholder · 11/06/2015 16:08

I wear big hoops still and my glasses Nothing else though have even ditched scarves!(until winter woolies are back) I do wear a little skinny string bracelet with a gold hoop

noddyholder · 11/06/2015 16:09

Yes I wear big black 60s ones most but have a fabcy chloe pair which I like too gold twisty things

TealFanClub · 11/06/2015 16:24

aviators look so so bad on me

I don't suit rayban types much Ds and dp wear aviators never think of them for me. I bought a nude rayban type from h and m which i hardly wear!

Whatamuckingfuddle · 11/06/2015 16:35

Been wearing cat eye tortoiseshell ones for about three years however bought a black pair to go with an abroad wedding outfit recently. I don't like them as much and will probably forget about them and lose them...

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 11/06/2015 16:36

No, one pair of plain tortoiseshell which goes with anything, they are comfy, suit me, sit on my head well, inexpensive and easily replaceable if lost. No metal trim or logos, plain tortoiseshell arms.

PrimalLass · 11/06/2015 16:51

No. I only wear wraparounds because I can't bear the sunlight getting in around the sides of more 'open' sunnies.

miaowmix · 11/06/2015 16:56

yep, tortoiseshell cat eye style, yellow and pink Boden, just ordered some black ones in &otherstories sale (only 11), various cheapo M&S etc from over the years. I love sunglasses. Never get super expensive but kind of upmarket high street as I don't like really flimsy ones.
Hate aviators. Don't like any with anything metallic at all.

OldBeanbagz · 11/06/2015 17:03

I have two pairs. One for everyday use and one for wearing when i'm cycling. I tend to just wear stud earings so no real clash.

TealFanClub · 11/06/2015 17:59

i dont iike the sports sunglasses worn with normal clothes

OP posts:
TheWordFactory · 11/06/2015 18:09

I have a few pairs.

Some tortoise shell ones, some white ones, some red ones.

noddyholder · 11/06/2015 22:24

www.marksandspencer.com/enamel-frame-cat-eye-sunglasses/p/p22363269 love these

Saurus72 · 11/06/2015 22:32

No, I have a pair of black ones from Whistles that I wear all the time and love. In fact, I love them so much that I bought a second pair (in the sale) in case anything happens to the original ones Blush

GunShotResidue · 11/06/2015 22:36

Last year, after DH stood on my lovely old sunglasses, I found a pair in primark for £1 that really suit me shape wise. This year they've brought out the same shape in 6 new colours, so I've bought them all!

Depending on my mood I'll match or clash my sunglasses to my outfit.

lurkingaround · 11/06/2015 23:18

I have a few pairs, not to go with outfits but just because. But I always end up wearing the same old tortoise shell ones that are horribly dated. The lenses in them are phenomenally comfortable and I can't bear looking theough the others. Expensive crap

JoyceDivision · 11/06/2015 23:24

I have 4 pair, my bestest ones are Moschino from tk maxx, £25, deep black, hearts on their sides with hearts moulded on at end of arms.

they are feckin' ace!!

I am saving them for best Blush

JoyceDivision · 11/06/2015 23:25

I mean the shape of the glasses are hearts that are on their sies so the points meet in the middle!

er.. These!

Fabellini · 11/06/2015 23:28

I have two pairs of Rayban Wayfarers, one black, and one tortoiseshell. I also have a pair of navy framed DKNY ones that I bought as an emergency hide behind hungover after a hen night.
I can't wear any of them now because I need prescription lenses (eyesight has deteriorated alarmingly), so have a pair as close to the black wayfarers as possible. I asked optician about getting prescription lenses put in Rayban frames, but it wasn't possible. Sad

Fabellini · 11/06/2015 23:28

Too many possibles in there!
