Misc, are these sunglasses too much?

Came into ownership of these Ray-Bans that were supposedly legit made in the 80s or something. The lore is unclear.

Put them on, and I appreciate the vintage vibes they seem to provide, but something about them feel giga ****gy time to me (no homo).

I need the wisdom of the misc to guide me and based on the severity/efficacy of the roasting I receive, I will determine if I can stand to wear them in public.

1. i don't think the 80s Wayfarer had the logo on the frame at the temples.
2. they are too big. get the RB2140 - Standard Size.

Persols are my favorite personally.



A little flashy, but I usually only wear them driving or something.

The ones on the top is are persol “Steve McQueen” pair.

See this is exactly the same sticking point I'm running into tbh. These glasses are great if you're driving. But I know I would lol irl if someone walked into a bar or tried to shake my hand wearing them you know?

Yeah. I understand that position. I think I exude enough confidence to pull them off, but I'm mostly worried about running into a miscer on the street and ending up a thirty page thread about poor sunglasses choice. The misc dictates an unhealthy amount of my views on the world it seems as it seems I'm currently asking permission to wear sunglasses lmfao.

Spoiler!
Agree 100% that they are too big srs. These ones have the logo (and actually at a far better quality than the modern ones) at the temple.

Yeah keep it simple. Get frames that fit your head. Regular wayfarer are too small for my dome.

I was in a bar with them when I posted. They are collapsable, so you can discreetly put them in a pocket or next to you. Mine are on a napkin for visibility here, but usually just in a pocket.



With ones that do not collapse, just get a slim case and throw them in your pocket. Walking in with sunglasses doesn’t really stand out as some social mistake, not taking them off after a few min is what makes people think you’re an ass. Especially if you’re talking to them.
