On the Street… Classic Wayfarer

My friend Aleks wearing a lovley yellow dress with a classic Ray-Ban Wayfarer.

We’ve been writing about Ray-Ban Wayfarer a lot, but that’s because it’s a great unisex alround sunglass! Besides, it’s a great frame to put corrected sun lenses in. Both Aleks and I bought us a pair wayfarer with corrected sun lens this summer and that’s definitely one of the best buy this year!

I think everybody should have a corrected sunglass, to see perfect even in the sunshine.

Relaxed look by Persol

We’ve been writing about this sunglass many times before, (HERE) and (HERE). But as it’s one of the most googled frames and also a lovley sunglass we would like to do it again!

Below you can see the classic Persol 714, which is the folding sunglass that Steve McQueen wore in the movie Thomas Crown Affair. The blue lenses gives the sunglass a relaxed look. 

New Releases from Ray-Ban with a twist

I love new releases! Specially when they comes with a new twist, like this ones below:

Ray-Ban‘s Signet RB3429 and Round Metal RB3447 are two classic sunglasses from Ray-Ban. Signet has it roots from the 70’s and Round Metal from the 80’s. Today, you can find them in a renewed version with soft faded lenses. We see more and more faded lenses, big like.

RB3447 112/32 “Round Metal”

RB3429 02 “Signet”

I like that the lenses aren’t dark as G15. With this faded lens you can have a conversation without being impolite, as your friend is able to see your eyes trough the lenses.

Giorgio Armani

This year Giorgio Armani launched a great collection, probably the best ever. Below you find some of my favorites. GA823 TEN

GA828 5H5

GA863 04G

GA792 URF

I like the combination of metal and acetate. It gives the shape a thin and cool look, and besides they have adjustable nose pads which often gives the frame a better fit. More metal frames to the people!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier, pseudonym for Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, the famous French-Swiss architect and artist known for contibuting to what is called “Modern Architecture”. He was very loyal to one type of frame, in fact that type of glasses are called Le Corbusier or “Architect frames”.

This type of frame has lots of character, is bold and simple. A great feature is that even strong prescriptions look great in a round think frame like this. Frames inspired by the Le Corbusier frame:
