For sunglasses, I usually stick with classic tortoise New Wayfarers, but I'm thinking of getting these in the next week or two to have something that's a little more in your face.

The brown-to-grey gradient is what I think will look pretty cool. Hoping a sunglasses hut has them in stock so i can take a look.

Those are mighty sexy, if they look good on your face. They'd look horrible on me though.

Those are cool glasses, but you run the risk of looking awfully hipster-ish if you haven't got the right overall style and face shape to pull them off in a non-ironic way.


I need to get a new Rx soon and I'm thinking of getting one of the Warby Parker styles. Leaning toward these ones, but I've got 5 pairs on the way through their try-at-home thing. http://www.warbyparker.com/men/optic...londe-tortoise But for Rx sunglasses, I might just stick with Costco - I saw some decent-looking aviator frames there for something like $40, and getting the lenses there is usually pretty cheap ($50-70 IIRC).

They look good on my face, and I don't dress particularly hipstery so I'm not worried about that. Thanks guys!

@hornsup - for future reference, if you use the LEC online chat they'll usually price match if something you bought goes on sale within 2 weeks (not sure of the exact rules). Probably missed your chance for yesterday's sale, but you could still give it a try, nothing to lose!

[hornsup84]

@Alan - definitely not full price -- just $30-something instead of $29.


@Trash -- that's good to know, thanks for the tip!

@JC those pants are great. I own a pair in the exact color. They look great with a polo and brown loafers.

Man you guys really find some gems on ebay.


As far as sunglasses, I also have a hard time finding ones that fit my face and look ok.

I picked up a pair of Makaha's last year, my Maui Jim

You guys must have a round face like me 'cause those rectangular, horizontal shapes are the only ones I can wear

[jicarv]

@JC - I think something like the RE Aviator (or their cheaper cousin the AO Pilot sunglasses) and the RE Intruder can look good on almost any face.


my purchases for the week:

AE Larkin - http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline...40000000001_-1

I needed a pair of rubber sole dress shoes for my train commute to work because leather soles aren't great when you are running to catch a train.


Orient Union - http://orientwatchusa.com/ev0s005w

been thinking about getting this one since Joe posted it on Dappered and finally ordered on 2/29 since I read here that Orient 50% off codes were going away.


LEC Selvedge Shirt - http://canvas.landsend.com/pp/mens-s...-&origin=index

Bought on 2/29 when on sale for $29 in both colors and will return to store whichever I like less.

In the last few weeks...


- Ray-Ban New Wayfarers in the smaller 52mm size. ~$65 sold by and shipped from Amazon, not from a 3rd party seller. It's difficult to find sunglasses that both fit and look good on me. The standard 55mm size was just too big. These are fantastic.


- Seiko SNZJ59K1 watch. Dappered featured it and I received it as a birthday gift. Beautiful watch, though the loose bezel crown is a bit irritating. I love it.


- GNRC for AEO Canvas sneakers in Navy. I dig the subtle twist on Chuck Taylor's. $20 shipped.


- Neiman Marcus Brass Collar Stays. $13 shipped. Great quality, something like 8-10 pairs. This is my first step into replacing cheap-o collar stays.


- LEC Refined Chinos in Stone Grey and the White Selvedge Poplin shirt from the $29 sale. They're not here yet and sizing on their pants is really spotty for me, so we'll see.

@Jason - Great deal on those seersucker pants!
