I fell for the clubmaster meme. Everyone and their fucking mother's has these sunglasses.

What are some fashionable alternatives?

Why?

>>11113796
Check Warby Parker, they might have something.

>>11113672
Stop fucking calling everything a meme, aviators and wayfarers outnumber clubmasters 30 to 1. If you don't wear something because you think it's a fucking meme you will never be fashionable or likeable and should definitely just fucking kill yourself

How retarded are you?

There's literally about 5 different styles of sunglasses.

You can get

1. Aviators
2. Clubmasters
3. Wayfarers
4. Massive Ski goggles/shields
5. ?????

Oops there's actually just 4. Everything else is just a slight variation on the above.

That's how it works you faggot. Supply and demand. Companies work out what is in demand and they supply it.

Want to look like an autistic retard? Go ahead and buy some quirky sunglasses that nobody has ever seen before. Let us know what it's like to get awkward stares and have no friends.
>>
>>11114074
A slight variation is not the same thing as the original
>>
>>11114091
Probably the least helpful and most redundant sentence ever.

The words "No shit Sherlock!" come to mind.

And what do you consider to be the ""original""? Because there are literally hundreds of brands of sunglasses out there and most of them have 10-20 different 'slight variations' of each style (aviators, wayfarer etc.)
>>
>>11113754
And that's not even high level. Some eyewear brands go into the $600-$900 range.
>>
>>11114116
>>11113754
Not trying to be a snob, but you can tell the difference in quality between a $100 pair and a $400 pair.

I'm not sure if they're 4 times better, but you can definitely tell there's a difference in the build quality and feel.

I think anything more than $400 is pushing it though and after that it's a clear case of just paying for the brand.

Anyone know where I can get some good quality flip up sunglasses similar to this style? I always thought they were really cool. Thanks.

I'd rather be poor than dumb.
>>
>>11114214
Not that guy, but actual rich people don't all go looking for ways to spend the most money on a purchase. Sure, there are those who lay in a supply of $500 Belenciaga shades in case their guests forget to bring their own, but there are plenty of people with 8-figure net worths who would just as soon get the Ray Ban version and be done with it.

I'd drop $400 on a pair of prescription glasses in a heartbeat if I still wore them, but sunglasses get lost all the time so I've only got $1k or so worth of those.
>>
>>11114113
I'm just wondering what your point is. Why does it matter, to you, if I want something slightly different than clubmasters?
>>
>>11114237
>true

Dad makes half a million net and wears clubmasters every time the sun is out
>>
>>11114128
I'm sure you're right that there is a difference in quality. However I'm not so sure it's worth paying 4x more money.
>>
>>11114214

Niggers like you give people that work for future generations a bad name.

>>
>>11114074
the funny part is that you honestly truly think those are the only styles that exist
>>
>>11114128
I find that like 90% of the population can't differentiate good quality and bad quality.

I used to buy and flip vintage sunglasses like Randolph engineering from thrift stores and they had them at like $5.99 a pair with glass lenses and actual hardware

Then in the case they had like dita von tease garbage at $39.99
>>
>>11114074
Why does all your shit have to be impressive? Just buy a basic pair of sunglasses that shit your face from a classic brand

You don't need neon orange signature shades
>>
>>11114074
Chill brah.

You listed four of the most ubiquitous options. Number five on the list should've been horn-rims.
>>
>>11113798
Youre paying 400 dollars for something with garbage luxoticca lenses and a brand name that everyone's parents wears

my oliver peoples are from a vintage collection made in japan, not luxottica. try harder.
>>
>>11117170
Luxxotica still stamps certain OP frames MIJ faggot

Quality went up over the years

MIJ back in the vintage collection was akin to made in Taiwan sticker in the late 80's
>>
>>11117184
idk man even the ones with the made in italy stamp seem to have really superior quality when compared to ray bans persols hugo glasses etc imo. oliver peoples is the only original glasses brand worth every penny of your money.
>>
>>11116952
Luxottica owns like all the major label sunglasses. You're gonna have to dig and find some obscure shit to be free of their influence

I guess you can go for opposition like polaroid or carrera owned by Safilo.
Alternatively depending on personal taste, you can get them wooden dutch glasses (i believe this was it: Hoentjen Creatie) or some startup american chav eyewear like 9Five
>>
Where do you friends get your wayfarers from
Got a brand new paycheck ready to spend on them
>>
>>11113672
I got pic related, saw them once when I was picking up some contact lenses and spent 2 weeks thinking how I loved them and just copped

never seen them on others persons before desu

what other glasses can I wear? got like oval headshape with square-ish jaw
>>
You kids and your memes are really cute

Try buying actual small scale fashion brands. Oliver Peoples is as much marketing bullshit as anything else. But you're going to have to spend more like $700...
>>
Can anyone recommend sth for a pea head

>>11117748
Yeah right, apart from the fact that my family has always been wealthy. My great-grandfather had slaves in his farm. Definitely not new money.
