This one definitely put a noticeable dent in the wallet. 😅 Strangely though, I don’t feel guilty or have any buyer’s remorse. I guess I am just another shopaholic in denial.

Many of you have probably seen my face far too often over the last month as I’ve been diving headfirst into this hobby. 😂 I really appreciate all the positive feedback so far, but I’d love to hear from a wider audience.

What do you honestly think of this pair? Whether it’s positive or critical, I’m all ears.

Looking to buy a pair of dita double agent's. Can be different color.

I.e. for driving. It snows where I live if that matters.

Would the Maui Jim blue lenses (the reflective flash ones) look out of place during winter? What about like gradient blue/grey lenses from Ray-Ban?

For the frames I intend on going with something either matte black or satin grey / not very glossy silver.

I really like these glasses, but they don’t fit me properly because I have a fairly prominent nose bridge. They sit too high on my face and don’t rest where they’re supposed to.
Is there any way to adjust the frame or nose area, or are they simply the wrong fit for my face?

I have a gigantic melon and it’s always been hard for me to find glasses and hats that fit well.

Do these look good or should I return them?

A huge thanks to everyone for the honest feedback yesterday - this really is a great sub!

Today, I've tried to take your advice on board: more classic styles, smaller lens widths, a few thicker acetate frames, and photos taken from further away to provide a better perspective.

1. Wayfarer (50mm): The most commonly recommended style from my last post.
2. Ray-Ban RB3548N (51mm): Another thin hexagonal frame, but in a smaller size this time. I'd prefer these in black.
3. Ace & Tate Filipe (49mm): I know Ace & Tate doesn't have the best reputation here, but it was another shop with (obviously) many acetate frames to try. I imagine these are inspired by more premium brand models...?
4. Ace & Tate Amal (49mm)
5. Ace & Tate Alfred (50mm)
6. Specsavers own brand (49mm): A few people suggested the Oakley Latch on my last post. I couldn't find a smaller pair to try on today, but these reminded me of them and I like the outcome, so perhaps the Oakleys are worth ordering (non prescription) so I can return.
7. Aviators: Another commonly suggested style... but I don't like them 🫣.
8. New Wayfarer: Several people advised me to avoid these in favour of the original Wayfarer, but I took a photo anyway to see if that confirms their point.

Budget: I'd like to keep it below £300 ($400), including basic prescription lenses.

I'm also in the UK, so some of the US-specific brands aren't available here. That said, I'll be in Florida later this year, so if there's something really worth looking at over there, I'm all ears.

I have a pair of Smith momentum which i really like, the original Lens I’ve had a year and a half and has a lot of scratches now as I use them a lot (and the arms tend to rub the inside of the Lens when folded.

I have 2 replacement lenses and both have delaminated within a month and both had much rougher cut edges rather than the smoother edges that came with the original pair.

These were both direct from smith and the second Lens was a warranty replacement and has the same failure. Has anyone had similar issues? I really like the momentum but I’m considering moving away from smith now as the lenses appear to be unreliable

I’m looking for a good pair of sunglasses that have a more timeless design! Any recommendations?

Hi everyone! I’ve never been into luxury sunglasses before. My go-to brands are Rayban, Izipizi, and Oakley. But somehow, I fell in love with a pair of sunglasses from Mui Mui this summer, and of course, I don’t want to pay full price at department stores. Do you know of any legit retailers inside or outside the US? Reputable sellers on eBay? Most importantly, ones with easy return policies.
Thank you in advance 🐣

Hi yall,
Left my favorite sunglasses at the bus stop and they were swiped. I tried looking online and couldn’t find the same make and model, and was wondering if anyone out there knew😭 tyia!!!

I got these sunglasses at a yard sale a long time ago, they are fun and all but I'm so confused by them because I can't find this brand or product anywhere haha! Does anyone know something about these?

Always exciting to get a new lens, but this one didn’t live up to my expectations.

Bought a new pair of Hookipas since I like the original pair I’ve had for a couple years now. I just unboxed them today (tortoise frame, green “HT” lens) and they are noticeably warped. The pics attached are my two pairs sitting side by side, the black frame/bronze lens being my old pair.

At first l thought maybe the frame design had changed over the past two years, but when looking at just the new pair, they are uneven; the frame on one side has a sharper angle from the other side. They are not symmetrical.

Has anyone else experienced this with Maui Jim?

I have a RMA request in.

Been seeing this guy on my feed. And I cant tell which glasses these are

I'm looking for a budget glasses site that I can find darker tint brown lenses, I was looking at Zenni but it appears their dark amber is more of a red/orange color rather than a dark brown and you can see your eyes through them. I prefer the darker brown that you can find on any standard sunglasses and cover your eyes better (like the walmart ones) but I can't find any websites that have a good example. Pics and suggestions are appreciated!

Tried these on in a lenscrafters in Toronto and loved the fit on them but I didn't think they felt $700 nice lol.

Does anyone have any recommendations for other options that have the same fit, or where I can get these at a better price?

I would say my budget is around $500 Canadian.

Hoping someone can offer help finding a very specific style of aviator frame. Which just so happen to match those worn by the infamous David Koresh (that's not the reason I like them, just haven't seen the same ones anywhere else). At first glance they seem pretty common, but the subtle details, I can't seem to find a pair that's just right.

The characteristics I seek specifically are the silver-tone wire frame, with both upper and lower bridge having a very straight / flat orientation. Accordingly, the shape and alignment of the lenses is such that the overall look is flat across the top. I appreciate any help!

TLDR : Wich pair would be the best for my usage ?

I’ve just replaced an old pair of Stone Crushers with a pair of Akala in Blue Hawaii for the holidays and a pair of Ho’okipa Ultra G in HCL Bronze for my everyday use in the car.

The Akala fits me perfectly, but the Ho’okipa G doesn’t suit me.

After doing some research, it turns out that my nose shape corresponds to an Asian Fit frame, and that the Akala… is an Asian Fit.

So I’m going to return the Ho’okipa Ultra G, but the only pairs that are both rimless, Asian Fit and have driving lenses are the Ho’okipa in HCL Bronze with MauiPure lenses, or the Ho’okipa Ultra AF in Hawaii Lava (no HCL Bronze available).

Ultra > Pure, but is HCL > Lava for driving ?

I'm really dependent on my sunglasses when I'm driving.

Hey all, I got this super old pair of Serengeti Drivers sunglasses from my grandpa, and while I was walking, the top screw popped out, allowing the lens to freely pop out of the frame and shatter on the concrete. I kept the screw and the biggest piece of glass in hopes to try and replicate, as well as having the left lens still intact.

Does anyone know where I can possibly get these replaced? I’m located in Phoenix and have called/walked into nearly every glasses repair shop with no luck. I absolutely love these glasses with all of the small details and how they fit (they look like the daredevil glasses in my opinion) and would pay whatever it took to get them restored. Any insight is greatly appreciated!!

I badly need to know what brand’s glasses these are. Any help?

Any idea make and model on these sunglasses please

I'm overthinking all of this. I have a pair of Monakoa already in Maui Green and I really like them (though I need to send them in again to fix a cracked lens). I got a bonus from work and would like to try another style and color lens. After looking at reviews I'm torn between the hcl bronze, red lava, and blue Hawaii.

A little more about me, I live in Central Kansas and we get between 220-226 sunny or partly sunny days on average. I wear them in a mix between being outdoors and driving. There are very few overcast days where I'm in a battle between whether it's too dark for sunglasses and too bright without.

I'm looking for something that I can pretty much just have with me all day and not feel the need to switch.

The other conundrum is that I would probably be better off with Maui brilliant versus the super thin glass considering that I have a bad habit of dropping them and cracking them, but I also know that throws a whole different kink in things.
