Men's fashion dilemma - Wrap around sunglasses 19:02 - Sep 12 with 9422 viewswkj

I have recently had a hard time driving as my ol' oculars are a bit sensitive to the old Sun bouncing off of the fields around the estate. I decided I would get some wrap around sunnies as I thought they looked practical and stylish. When I got home the other day, Mrs WKJ to be baulked and said, get those off of your head, you look like an utter tw** (more so than usual apparently)

Are wrap around sunglasses really that big of a deal, do they really make you look like a tw**. If so, what are my alternatives?

I've never met a man wearing wrap around sunglasses who wasn't either a plonker or a bellend.

But... you may be able to pull them off if you're balancing them out with those Jesus sandals you rock around in.

This.

You know what I mean though when I say there's a certain type of bloke who wears them?

They're fairly 90s/00s with regards to style... unless you're going for the US tourist vibe?

In all honesty, as someone who has to wear sunglasses on the dullest of days, it really depends on what suits and fits the best.

Can't really go wrong with a pair of wayfarers, though these days, I'm not even sure if they're particularly "cool".

I had a pair of wayfarers, but they seem better suited on a man with excellent facial hair, sadly, I can not grow such mainly hairs without looking like I chinned a perm

Nah not for me. They look like a cross between welding glasses and reactions lens normal glasses.

Stick with a normal pair.

Nothing wrong with wrap around glasses. Practical. Helps to keep dirt and dust out as well as providing better UV protection. IMO
If you base your glasses choice only on fashion, then that is the road to being a bellend.
It's not to say bellends don't wear wrap arounds, but same can be said of "aviators" e.t.c.
Wear what works.

On second thoughts, get the glasses. They'd suit you.

We all know that bloke. Probably on his local PTA even though his kids left school years ago.

Buy a pair of fake Aviators from Home Bargains. Only a few pounds.

If you get some of those Oakley ‘wraparounds’, people will hate you. And rightly.

Can't beat 70s style, thick black plastic framed Polaroids.

Wrap arounds should only be worn whilst sailing, or fielding at cover point.

Wraparounds are for people who have decided that mountaineering clothes (North Face, Mountain Warehouse) are the height of fashion and call mountain biking an extreme sport because they're trying to convince everyone it's cool.

The shape of the glasses the suit you depends on the shape of your head:
https://www.coastal.com/thelook/glasses-for-face-shape/

Appreciate the example in that site is spectacles but you get the idea. It's not about what facial hair you do/don't have, it's your face shape. Long/round/square/angular chin/angular cheekbones/etc etc etc are matched with big/small/wide/round/square sunglasses.

Having said that:
1. You can't go wrong with the three classic Ray Ban designs- Wayfarer, Clubmaster (surprised no one said that yet) and Aviator.
2. Wraparounds are a step up from glasses on a cord.
