Help chosing my sunglasses

Siegfried · Guest

I have the intention of buying a pair of sunglasses, but I'm not pretty sure about which ones to buy.

I'm supposed to look like Dominic Purcell and bald Bruce Willis

I guess we all know Bruce Smile

Just one more point: my nose is rather big, mostly the base.

I have been thinking about buying one of theses, but I appreciate any suggestion as far as they are not much more expensive Smile

I think some model of Predator may be a good chose too... I don't know.

Thank you very much Smile

A quick rule of thumb is that square faces take round frames and round faces take square frames. I think the second picture is an example of this with round frames on a square face.

An elongated face can accept larger lens.

On a bald head, the thickness of the frame is more pronounced. Matching with everything else you are wearing may be more of an issue with thicker frames. Think of how band-leader Paul Shaffer looks with different thickness of frames.

I think you will get the best advice by trying on glasses at a store with a friend. When you have the right sunglasses on, your friend will tell you.

What I like about the glasses in the second picture is the active styling in the Aviator design and the thin, wire frame. Aviators are hot now, and I think they are going to be the hottest for a few seasons to come. I like the Ray-Ban Sunglasses you selected which have Aviator styling. For more of this design, see our collection of Aviator Sunglasses.

You might have some fun and go with an over-sized.

In the Ray-Ban Highstreet family, I like the shield lens of the Ray Ban Aviator Highstreet RB3311 Sunglasses and the Ray Ban Aviator Highstreet RB4082 Sunglasses.

The Spy Optics Stratos Sunglasses is a large plastic version.
