Wayfarer sunglasses - Brown or Black?

[YourFutureEx]

Which wayfarer sunglasses should I buy? Brown patterned ones with brown lenses or the standard Black ones with green lenses?

Brown

Black

[WhiteSteve]

Good choice, Wayfarers are my favorite style of sunglasses.

I’d say it depends on what you wear for colors, mostly. Black and brown can kind of clash, but other than that, black goes with almost anything. Brown might go better with more of your clothes, though, unless you wear black a lot, particularly your shirts.

I’d say black is probably the safest play if you’re in doubt. I think both would look good on you, it’s just about what you’d mostly wear it with, and honestly, black sunglasses with a brown shirt is better than brown sunglasses with a black shirt, in my opinion.

[YourFutureEx]

You're totally correct with your colour combinations and I have the same opinion.

But the thing is, I am going to buy 4 sunglasses in 4 different shapes and lenses. One of them will definitely have brown lenses. For wayfarer, I have shortlisted these two.

I liked the brown ones but I'm afraid they're too feminine? Black ones with green lens is safer choice but then it'll be hard to find other sunglasses that look good and have brown lenses.

[OneViewpoint]

I like brown lenses in general for their high color contrast and shadows. Works great for driving and skiing. And polarized for help with glare on snow, water, or behind a windshield.

[WhiteSteve]

I look bad in brown lenses, but I ONLY get them when it comes to my polarized sunglasses for fishing. I swear it’s like turning a light on underwater. Like the jump from reality to regular-polarized is less drastic to me than the jump from regular-polarized to brown-polarized, it’s incredible

[YourFutureEx]

Yeah the only reason I'm considering the brown ones is because of the superior brown lenses.

[OneViewpoint]

LOL, I’m Les concerned about how they look on me than I am about being able to se wherein Goins on skis at 50-70 mph speeds.

My ski goggles have interchangeable lenses. My brown polarized lenses are always my default choice unless it’s really foggy or extreme low light conditions. I usually carry 3 other lenses with me. Stuff can change fast on a mountain at altitude.

Arrrgh thumb typing

*where I’m going.

[Genie23]

I was going to say "Green one" because I found that one unique and cool but when I read you typed "black" in the poll, I increased my phone's brightness...

It looked better as green 😭 I voted for brown. 🕶️

[YourFutureEx]

I was going to post a follow up question that'll have a green pair lol. Now I know what you'll vote on that. That got the most premium lens but I don't know if I'll be able to pull off a green pair.

For this one, I'm inclined towards brown but I'm not sure as they kinda look feminine 😅

[Genie23]

Lol! Yeah, I live especially olive green shade 😍 I think you will pull it pretty well 🤔

Brown lens look feminine? Not at all. My guy friends wear them and I don't think they look feminine now if the lens was pink I'd understand why you'd hesitate x) But yeah, I think brown looks really good on most guys and it also kinda make them look rugged, lol

[YourFutureEx]

No, not the brown lenses. Brown lenses are totally fine, for the reason you mentioned. I'm concerned about the brown frames, especially leopard-esque pattern ones. I don't wanna look like a South Bombay girl xD

[Genie23]

LMAO!! Ouch...🤣🤣 I think you're good as long as you don't go for Cat-eye shaped frames 😂

[YourFutureEx]

Mmm...😅 The ones in my question are going to be my second purchase, and I'm asking this in advance. Right now, I'm going for a different frame and that's... As caty-eyed as it gets... for a man lol. The Clubmaster.
www.mrporter.com/.../w1200_q80.jpg
If I didn't go with the brown frames I mentioned in my question, I'll buy these ones in this brown frame and vice-versa. The problem is that the Clubmaster will only be in green lenses, while the Wayfarer can be in green or brown.

The thing is, I want to buy 4 sunglasses (in different shapes) in the next 2 years or so and I want to have all 4 of the primary shades (brown, grey, green & blue). I have already decided the blue ones and have flexibility with grey ones (so, no prob with those). Brown lenses are the toughest to purchase because they don't go well with most of the frames and green ones are so overwhelmingly dominant in the market.

Hence the confusion and the need of so much planning.

[Genie23]

What? I didn't even know they made Cat-eye frames for men 😳😭

I love the shade but I'm wondering whether that frame can be easily pulled off generally by men? Because very few women look good with those frames so I guess that depends on face shape. 🤔

Overall, I really liked how it looks to be honest but since I think you're going to buy these from online store (correct me if I'm wrong), I'd go with Wayfarer ones in either black or green.😯

[YourFutureEx]

Men have been wearing these since the 1980s. They're unisex. There're not really cat-eye (but closest to that), they're supposed to add "brows" and hence, also called "browline sunglasses"

So, in your opinion, I should go for
Brown (frame) Clubmaster
&
Black (frame) Wayfarer
Correct?

[Genie23]

I didn't like those glasses on Ranbir to be honest.

Yes if you're planning to buy 2 of them but if there's a green lens one in Wayfarer and they look like the exact shade of the picture that you showed then I'd say Wayfarer's green ones and Clubmaster's brown ones.

If not. Clubmaster's brown ones and Wayfarer's black ones. 🤔

[YourFutureEx]

Ranbir ko hi fail kar diya. Main toh hoon hi kis khet ki mooli.


The problem with buying Black Wayfarer with green lenses is that Clubmaster only comes in green lenses. So, I'll end up with two glasses with green lenses and have to increase my budget for a fifth overall pair (to get a pair with brown lenses). That's why I asked this question, if this Brown frame brown lens Wayfarer can look good enough (or even better) than Black frame green lens Wayfarer. According to the poll, nobody's giving a green light to the brown ones.

I know most of it is flying above your head lol 😭 I am making my life hell with all these complications. I can't help myself. I am such a woman when it comes to fashion and hygiene 😂

[Genie23]

LOL!!! That GIF... OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I never liked Ranbir. Not in looks and not even personality wise. Never understood why girls go gaga over him. The only thing I like about him now is how sweetly he talks about his daughter and how he's with her. 😅 I find other guys good looking who you might find average. So beauty is subjective. X)

No, no 2 green lens would be too much. One black and one brown. And yeah, Wayfarer black one does look better in the picture but then again you should know black is always the safest best 😝 No one would ever say no to sunglasses with black lens. So, yeah... My vote goes to W's Black ones and TC's brown ones 😊

Don't worry. If something goes over my head, I read it twice or thrice until I figure out what someone means 😂😂



"I'm a woman when it comes to fashion and hygiene" you say as if that's a bad thing 🤣🤣 If you loved in my city and we were friends, I'd have asked you to join me for shopping even though that means I'd have hung out at guys clothing and accessories section more, lol. But still much better than the other guys who just say "It looks really pretty/beautiful" even if I look ridiculous in something 😂

[YourFutureEx]

Hey I totally get you! Actors' looks are massively overrated. I find 90% of the actresses normal. Like I know they're... fine... but they're not the sheer definition of natural beauty. Every single time I'm out to buy groceries or at a restaurant to eat, I see at least one girl who's way more beautiful than pretty much every single b'wood actress. I'm like "what is she doing here buying cabbage? Why isn't she on ramp doing modelling!" and as you said, you may find her average but... I find those girls beautiful... The way you do with men around you.

I think if I am too confused, I should do one of these three things:
1. Toss a coin
2. Ask my mom
3. Buy whatever is cheaper

It would be so awesome to have "loved" in your city. Mayanagari mein pyar kar ke toh mere sapne hi poore ho jaaye 🥰 (😝)

You'd be of no use for me if you still kept me around boys' section. I would want to enter all those forbidden places like makeup & lingerie stores and tell the staff I'm here only because of you so they would understand 😈 you're a bad wingwoman keeping me around boys 😭

Jokes aside, I also love shopping like women. A lot of girls and even my mom hate me because I am too honest and call them out when they look ridiculous, instead of blindly calling them beautiful. Trust me, you don't know how it feels until it's your turn lol.

Being hygienic like women has been problematic for me because my friends hate me for it. I take ~30 minutes to shower and it pisses them off. They're like "aadha ghanta kaun nahata hai?", even the girls I used to live with took lesser time and sometimes they used to line up in front of my bathroom door and pass compliments like "haaye kitna cute banke aaya hai, dekho toh issey etc." just to embarrass me 😭

[Genie23]

Haaye! Soni kudi ko dekhke dil phool gobi ho gaya tumhara 😂 but jokes aside... Exactly!! They look so effortlessly beautiful without needing heck lot of makeup or any surgery or having bunch of stylist.

I've always regretted deciding on something after tossing a coin. 😂 Ask mum!! They are almost always right and will be savage too at times 😛

LMAO!! I thought for a moment that you were into cross dressing, so I was like Ooooh, I'll take you to Victoria's secret then. Bade interesting Shauk hai P ke 😂

I don't find anything wrong with it it so bring it on, lol

😂😂😂 I'd sing the line "Oooh! You're shining so bright like a diamond... Shine like a diamond (Rihanna)" JK. If it makes you feel better... I take 1 hour to shower (that is when I wash and condition my hair) and 40 minutes for shower without shampoo, lol

[YourFutureEx]

Yeah I wonder if these girls in their pjs and messy buns buying cabbage, even realise how pretty they are. Makes we wanna sing...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CD-wDkthgoI
But I know they'll be like "o bandh kar oye" 😓

You're totally right about the coin toss lol. I don't know if I can trust my mom. She always wants me to look seedha-saadha so that I can avoid baddies. But my mom doesn't know that


Yeah last weekend I was in a mall and I saw a really pretty girl in Nykaa store. I really wanted to talk but how do I even enter that place lol. I really wished I had a wingwoman with me who could pretend to buy some mascara and take me there 😸

You never wear anything cringe in your profile pics 🙄 I have no chance like that.

Municipal Committee really hates us both lol. I hope they don't read our comments or else they'd know where does all the water go.

You have replied to everything, except the fact that I pointed out that you made another typo! ⚠️NOTICE IT⚠️NOTICE IT⚠️NOTICE IT⚠️ ("If you loved in my city")

[Genie23]

😂😂😂

OMG... LMAO! Raaz movie awesome 😆 but yeah, in that case, go for the cheaper one. That should clear your confusion 🤔

Awwwww!! That's so cuteeeeee!! You should have pretended you have a sister you wanted to buy eye shadow for pr something and should have approached her for tips, lol



😂😂😂

Yeah... Main toh chali before they read this and catch me 😶‍🌫️

-and damn you!! I thought if I pretend it didn't happen and act like I didn't missed reading that typo joke you made you would stop roasting me 😂😭😭 Using warning sign... like wtf, lol! Just remember one of these days to when you're drunk and end up making a typo, I'll be the first one to roast the heck out of you 🙅🏻‍♀️

[YourFutureEx]

Oh Jesus. Now that I am thinking about it, I should have tried to buy a sunscreen. I could have told her about my oily skin, that I want it in matte without white cast, SPF 50+, PA++++ preferences, photostability, mineral vs chemical filters, no oxybenzone etc. That's something I have knowledge about and they sell that. Would have been so great seeing her struggle answering my questions in best of her capabilities while I just stare at her eyes 😍

I was drunk a few days ago and I kept myself away from logging in G@G because I knew that if you have asked a new question, I won't be able to keep myself from oversharing and making myself vulnerable to embarrassment.

[Genie23]

See!! Now you're thinking 😉

Wait, wait... hold on- Staring into her eyes? No, don't do that ever ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Lol. You'll freak her out if you do that. 😂



There's nothing to be embarassed about. I am the kind of person who is oversharing and transparent and I don't drink, lol. I mean, besides the teasing and fake threats and revenge threats aside, whatever you would ever share accidentally or willingly it's not going to change the way I see you as a person. One of my close friend is like you. He used to get awkward after sharing and then avoid bringing it up or fet distant for few days because he thought I would judge him which wasn't even the case, he eventually understood I still see him the same before he shared those things. But you're kinda right, just because I won't judge you or use things against you doesn't mean others won't. I don't know whether someone reads our conversation on threads. It's better to keep yourself away for some time when you're intoxicated to avoid embarassment or any problems

[YourFutureEx]

That gif is exactly how I was planning on staring at her lol. In fact, that's how I was looking at her while on escalator (as my hopes and dreams slowly vanished as I moved up the floor 😞)

Stare into her eyes? Freaky
Don't make eye contact? Pussy
Look elsewhere at her body? Creep
Where do I even look? 😫

😇 "whatever you would ever share accidentally or willingly it's not going to change the way I see you as a person." 🪤 😈


Jokes aside. I'm just kidding. I do not hide anything and am not afraid of sharing anything. I cannot connect with anyone by doing these things. I crave for comfort and if I get it, that's when I realise that I've met someone genuine and that can only be accomplished by being who I really am in front of them. I would rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I am not.
I don't know why would your friend hide himself like that. Maybe he was judged by someone in his past that has scarred him for life. I am watching an anime with a similar plot where a boy was judged for his hobby by his best girl friend in his childhood, which made him never interact with any girl or share about his hobby to anyone, until he met someone understanding like you, who not only made him comfortable, but genuinely complimented him about his hobby making him realise that you should be proud of yourself and what you do. Your story reminds me of those characters 😄

You wouldn't have thought that I can ever feel embarrassed, if G@G hadn't fucked up when I was answering your "what do you dis/like about gag". I had two screenshots of how blunt I am (according to other people!). Any person can read any of my posts to challenge me and I won't mind because my fundamentals are strong and I am true to my words.

[Genie23]

Great minds think alike. Lol

LMAO!!! I don't know.. maybe look into her soul or something 🙄

Ooooh!! What's the title of that anime? Sounds really good 😯

I didn't think you were embarassed because your answer disappeared because of GaG. I was just curious what exactly you wrote, lol. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that about you 😁 Sorry, about the late reply. I've been hardly active these days. Been really sick lately so I don't come online everyday anymore and when I do, the notifications are 100+ 😭

Do let me know the anime title so I can enjoy watching that while sulking because I'm sick, lol

[YourFutureEx]

Look into her soul? I think I've found the perfect goggles that I need to buy
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=p0Xib26v3k0

Okay I take my words back. I am NOT going to tell you about the name of the anime as it's my guilty pleasure. Telling you about it would be so embarrassing as it's a romcom with a bit of "fan service".

Ask a thought provoking question to make me answer that again 😌
Sorry to hear that. What happened? And don't worry about the late replies. You can comment on any of my posts any time you wish (even if they're a decade old)

🙄 Okay fine I'll tell you, only because you're sick. The name is: My Dress-up Darling

[Genie23]

i.pinimg.com/.../...98c18bce043d9181e1a28787d2.gif

WTH did you just make me see? 😭😂😂 But jokes aside, did you finally decide what you're going to buy? 🤔

Stupid me was wondering what is so embarassing about fan repairing service scenes in rom com. 😂 I had to google what's a fan service in rom com genre. It's okay. We all have guilty pleasures, lol. So, not going to tease you 🤐

High fever. It goes away when I take meds but comes back again. I don't know whether it's because of stress or I've got malaria. Also, I fainted few days ago because of weakness and fever. I had no idea I was that sick until that happened and I've lost appetite. So, I can barely eat. I'm also confused and dizzy often lately. Lost some weight too. Hospitals freak me out so I'm avoiding that. Hopefully I'll recover in couple of days or I'll have to go to hospital buttttt the good things is I've been sleeping really early lately. At around 12 am and wake up early and I've been enjoying rewatching Seinfeld and Friends lately (Couldn't finish watching the last few seasons of both the series years ago) and it's sooooo comforting to watch them again. So, being sick has it's advantages, lol

OMG, the title... 😂 So cuteeeeeeeee!! Thank you 🙃 Oh and I was actually planning on reading and replying to that comment of yours 10 years later indeed (on the post I made stupid mistake of pasting my drafts). You know when it will stop being embarassing for me 😶

[YourFutureEx]

No I haven't 😭 but I have made a bit of progress tho. I think I'll have to increase my budget and buy 5 sunglasses total to get rid of my (self inflicted) problems.

I'm not embarrassed about fan service. I mean I'm a man. And which man doesn't watch... stuff? I'm more embarrassed about watching romcom 😭

Are you getting shivers? Malaria gives you shivers. I don't think you should get fever because of stress. There must be something else and do you know that fever medicines do not treat your disease? Fever is a symptom and not a cause. In fact, fever is good for you. Your body creates fever to make a hostile environment for the microorganisms inside you that are making you sick.
I'm the same as you who likes to believe that I'll be able to keep my good schedule going once I get better, but as soon as I do, my body presses the reset button and I'm back to square one.
Are you watching from the beginning or from where you left?

No! Stop! Don't!

I promise that's the only one that I've watched and I started watching it because I used to watch a really very gorey and depressing anime. In order to neutralize the trauma that show gave, I had to watch this wholesome stuff.
*Takes a deep breath*
Season 2 is airing now and I'm proudly going to watch it 😤 as the whole plot of the show is to wholeheartedly love what you do.


Yeah my comment was badly hijacked by your drafts lol. Keep making mistakes 🙃

[Genie23]

What the heck... buying 5 sunglasses at once? Bade log 😂😂😂

I know secretly every guy likes mushy stuff so you don't need to tell me what you're embarassed about 🤣

Actually, I end up crying a lot when I'm stressed which ends up causing migraine and my body temperature goes up for a while. Sometimes I recover within a day other times it takes a while. Stress can also cause my heart to ache like weird sort of current in my nerves and weird sort of pull so I thought maybe it's because of stress if it's not viral or malaria. I know fever is supposed to be good but I can't even put my hands under water for few seconds without my teeth clattering and hands shivering 😭 So, I'm hoping my body gets done with fighting ewwwy stuff soon, lol

That gif... LMAO!!! So freaking adorable 🤣🤣🤣

Hey, I've done kinda something similar but only when I watched horror movies or series at night (basically was pressurised to watch it) and I couldn't sleep and was dreading I'll see those stuff in my dreams so I watch something funny or sweet to reduce my anxiety and feeling depressed 😅

Okay, oka 😂 Glad you finally came out with your love for that show, lol Enjoy watching the second season, g😛

I know 🙈 Your gifs are really getting impressive. You're on your way to become gif king. I mean, what else can I expect? Sangat ka asar toh hona hi tha 😎

[Genie23]

Oh and I hope my schedule don't go back to the way it was 😭 and I'm watching from the beginning. I have a problem. I can't relax until I watch from the beginning whether I missed few minutes scene at a theatre or I've already seen those scenes or episodes on tv more than once. If I'm picking up something after a long while I have to start watching it from the beginning

[YourFutureEx]

No, not 5 all at once 😅 only 2 this year and 2 next year. And the remaining one whenever I find it, meeting my expectations.
And you can't say that to me. You're the one with her own personal driver! 💰

Why were you crying? 😠
Who gave you permission to cry? 😡
Are you trying to manage your stress? Via techniques and meds? How do you look so young with that much stress? Back then, I was stressed for a few months and I aged like 5 years! Send me your skincare routine ASAP!

Sameee. The whole plot was 50 feet titans eating humans. I used to see it in my dreams. It would not have been a big deal if it was a movie as it's a one time thing. But that had like 90 episodes that air once a week. Trying their best to prolong my trauma. Had to watch some darlings dressing up in cute outfits to balance my mind.

I wish tumhari sangat mein main bhi amir ho jau, mere pass bhi meri Maruti Omni ka ek driver ho 😎 would get way easier to pick up ladies


Friends has 236 episodes! You gonna watch em all?

[Genie23]

Ah! That sounds better 😛
Oh and I still don't know what you're talking about. 😂

😶 I had no idea I needed permission to cry O__O I just heard crying cleans your eyes like spraying orange peels juices into eyes does, lol. I'm sure you don't need any tips from me considering people mistook you for 18 just the other day. 😝

"Had to watch some darlings dressing up in cute outfits" that's so cute, lol. Speaking of pretty and cute. I found a recording of you and your bestie.

youtube.com/shorts/QZqwjAa0Z64?si=MmGJgZ0h83nBErsw

LMAO! Only picking up ladies. No drop offs? ☠️😶‍🌫️



Yup! All 236 episodes and also every Seinfeld's episodes. Gotta catch all like pokémon! 😍

[YourFutureEx]

Oh I didn't know you were just trying to clean your eyes 😊😊😊

Where did you find this? 😂 Yesterday, I was at a funeral and someone's phone rang up. The guy refused to answer or hanging it up and some cringe ringtone kept playing like "teri aankhein dekh lu toh yaad kisi ki na mujhe aaye" something like that and my bestie stared at him with judgmental eyes it almost made me laugh. I tried so hard to keep a straight face.

Why the guy in the gif is wearing the same glasses as the ones I want to buy 😭 you're trying to make me jealous by showing that everyone has em.

That's some crazy binge-watching! I have never heard about Seinfeld before.

Am I making things up or were you 32yo a few days ago? o_O

[Genie23]

Awwww! Pretty little naivé bab- I mean, yeah. That's right 😆

OMG 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can imagine how hard it must have been to keep a straight face, lol. Hate to say this but I'm one of those people who sets a ringtone and callertune with lyrics and some of these songs are romantic or dramatic... And those songs played when I forgot to put my phone on silent just imagine how awkward it must have been to look into other guy's eyes when my phone rang. 🫢 I kept avoiding to look anyone's eyes and left ASAP. 😭

😂😂😂

One thing you have to know about me is that I'm master of making plans and failing at it. I mean, it doesn't hurt to think I'd manage to finish both the series seasons this time 😛 Seinfeld is a light comedy about a comedian (he's a real life comedian), his ex girlfriend, his whiney best guy friend, his weird, crazy but also funny neighbour. It's about funny little things that happens in their day to day life. It's really entertaining and shows bit of his stand up acts in every episode. I used to like it better than friends over a decade ago and now friends is finally growing on me. I guess Friends is the kind of series that you become fond of after you get older and watch all these characters who grew close with each other and while witnessing all that you also got attached to them. So, now I like it it as much as I like Seinfeld even though I wouldn't be able to finish either of the show, lol

Your eyes are playing tricks on you or GaG thought Genies age in reverse before realising that isn't the case 😛 I was born in September. 😅

[AI Opinion]

Both options are classics, so it depends on your style vibe. The brown patterned ones with brown lenses offer a more laid-back, earthy look that can complement casual, warm-toned outfits. The standard black ones with green lenses are sleek and versatile, perfect for a more modern, edgy style. Consider the color palette of your wardrobe and choose the pair that aligns with your personal flair! 😎

[Abbycado]

I prefer the black ones

[TadBehaya]

Black. They look better

[Anonymous]

Both are ok, I prefer black ones.

[Bunnybuny]

Brown
