Dh bought me gold/brown lenses. I don't suit gold and it is a very bright GOLD colour.

Is gunmetal/black lenses USA traffic cop?.

Depends I think on your day to day jewellery.

No I don't think black is cops lol.

I have silver ones but I have silver jewellery.
Never ever wear them. I wear brown framed brown lens Gucci ones with everything because I love them and they were my first pair of genuine designer glasses!

Five years ago.

All my jewellery is white gold. He bought it all for me. On his own. The gold is brighter than the actual sun.

I wear a big pair of Jackie O black sunglasses from max mara but thought aviators would make a nice change.

Sell them on that website I think it's called vestiare

Better than eBay for genuine items.

Just tell him. Better then getting matching presents to go with your sunglasses every year

I haven't wore mine for years. My ex bought me them when we were first going out.

After we a split I just can't wear mine.

itsbritneybiatches · 27/09/2018 22:34

I might sell mine actually.

Have a look at ray bans, you can customise them to your specifications.

Dh customised a couple of round frame ray bans for me (tortoise shell frame with silver flash lense and rose gold frame with bronze flash lenses), I wear them a lot as I have light sensitivity.

He's sending them back and re-ordering silver frames with silver mirror lenses 58mm.

He think's they'll look awful.

Get wayfarers , much nicer IMo and I have both .

I don’t think the colour is an issue - I personally prefer gold/brown but that’s because I think warmer tones suit me. Other people may look and feel better in cooler tones like silver and grey.

The main issue with aviators is that they can be too big. They simply don’t fit and that’s what gives that US traffic cop look.

I have the Rayban Cockpit frames which are smaller, and they look so much better on me IMO.
My mum has actually bought the Cockpit frames (classic large aviators looked ridiculous on her because they were huge on her) and use them as normal glasses with light blue tinted lenses which looks very cool too.

Wayfarers don't suit me for some reason. 55mm is definitely too small and I'm petite.
