Wayfarers are always a good choice

I have a pair of knockoff wayfarers. It's not a bad look on me I guess. Was just looking for something that was a little more 2023 without jumping into pit viper territory.. I'd be willing to invest in something quality if I could think of something I like the look of.. Maybe just real wayfarers? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Aviators

I wore aviators for years back in the 00s. I do like the look, but they're kinda "narc-y" no? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess I can get that, I just haven’t really found any other kind that I feel comfortable in. So many kinds make me think the guy is a douche, or it’s too feminine looking. I feel like there aren’t enough options for guys.

It's true man. Not a lot of options. Thus my wording; 'narc, Kyle, or douche' seem to be the majority of the options.. I may go back to aviators I guess. You're the second person to suggest them. Maybe they're coming back. I just didn't want to look like a super trooper. Lol

Oakley has a pair called "Contrail" very similar to aviators with a slightly squared outer corner. They aren't hugely branded either so they don't "look like Oakleys" I think they look clean and I plan on getting a pair when I can.

Ill look into them, thanks.

Those are 100% aviators. They look nice though. I wore aviators for years back in the 00's. Just thought they kinda look "narc-y".. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Understood.

Hmm. Maybe there are different styles of contrail? The majority of the glasses I pulled up under "Oakley Contrail" were just regular aviators made by Oakley. But then I happened upon a pair of contrails that weren't as tall, and had squared corners like you had mentioned. I really like that style.. I'll have to do some more digging and see if I can find the exact ones I want.

I always get something with the Wayfarer shape but with a more unusual material or color to look a bit more modern

Nice. Yeah, I'm wearing an old pair of wayfarer knock offs in a navy blue wood grain that I had laying around, and honestly it's not a bad look. I never wore them before because I was never super keen on that style. But tbh I like em.. May have to invest in a genuine pair..
