I know the looks from eighties are re-emerging right now, so I guess it's not that much of a surprise that wayfarers are back and being sold on eluxury.  I still have my pair, but I'm not sold on wearing them yet...

what do you guys think?

I was reading the May issue of Bazaar last night and they were interviewing different designers on what was in and out. One of the designers was saying that these particular shades were in for this season, but on the very next page a designer was saying that rectangular shades were out.  I thought that was very interesting.

I am sorry, but I have yet to find someone who looks good in them (Kirsten Dunst and Chloe Sevigny included).

IMO different shapes of frames looks good on some and bad on others (no matter if they are "in" or "out"). So I would definitely say it depends on the person who is wearing them.

if i see the sunglasses alone, i'm not a fan. but then i see them on, say, the cast of reservoir dogs and i think they look cool. i think it really depends on who wears them (since i don't think much of what dunst/sevigny ever wear). go for it!

I can't remember if I liked them way back or not.  But, when I see them now, all I can think of is, like, Glen Frey or something ala Smuggler's Blues.

I love Wayfarers.  Mine were actually my first love.  I think they meant more to me than any other accessory/item of clothing I had when those were popular.  I haven't tried them on in years (and years), but they are a classic.   Mine are long gone, but I might have to make a trip to the mall and try some on again. 

I'd wear them if they suit your face, but you have to promise to get some flourescent nylon glasses cords to wear with them! biggrin

I think they're old-school cool on guys, but IMO they just look odd on women.

Fashion is fun so I say you should rock it! I don't know how to explain it except something like, fashion is supposed to be about taking risk, and if you like the fact that you've taken that risk, it'll end up looking goood.

I'd wear them as long as they suited your face shape well.
