I just ordered some discontinued Curry & Paxton sunglasses on sale and with a stacked coupon.

Nice choice. Like the colour

Solid choice. She's got great taste.

I’m mostly wearing contacts here days, but next round of insurance I should get some back-up glasses.

Curious if anyone here has experience with honeycomb lenses and/or Transition XtraActive Gen? The former sounds like it would help with night driving glare and starbursts. The later is supposed to work while inside a vehicle - from crystal clear to super dark within a few minutes.

This explains the trend to ridiculous glasses in recent years:

Daniel Craig's Glasses Are the Ultimate Middle-Aged Style Hack

The actor has been donning some very nice eyewear on the red carpet recently

Jaysus these writers must just have AI do everything for them these days eh?
First, what the fuck is a “style hack”?
Then the article advises us to do like Daniel Craig and get a “huge pair of fuck off glasses” with thick rims like Cary Grant … followed by five pics of DC in which three out of the five show him wearing too-small wire-framed granny glasses.

Fuck off Esquire - your desperation to be relevant is palpable but your usefulness has been over with for at least five years. Same goes for GQ. It’s over.

I hate this whole notion of ‘style hacks’ because it’s always just fashion - not getting the right thing for the individual.

But speaking of heavy frames, I see Professor Mansplain has a lovely pair of Curry and Paxton Yvan 1886 frames (made famous by Michael Cain in The Ipcriss File). They look far less bold with his complexion and features. A beautiful frame that I’m sure they would look shit on me, as much as I like them.

I bought a few pairs of Theos last year, they are extremely well made and not too fashion forward.

I pretty much wear contacts all the time, but I keep a pair of RX glasses and sunglasses in the car for odd occasions when needed. I was thinking about recycling some frames I already have, when it’s time to upgrade them. Really not too fussed about how they look, as they just go on when I have a quick trip to the donut shop in the morning or similar. That said, I struggled to find a pic of Tom Ford Snowdens with clear lenses. I finally found one …. and they do look pretty bad!

Reading glasses whose frames cover the eyebrows make me suspicious.

If you've got a big honk like me - high bridge - almost impossible to gets pecs that I can have my eyebrows higher.
