My tendency is to
buy one pair of sunglasses and wear them daily for
several years straight, or until I've dropped them so many times that
the lenses are scratched to the point where I can barely see through
them anymore. Most recently I had a pair of gold-rimmed Ray-Ban
aviators, which I loved and wore religiously for the last couple of
years even though they were constantly
slipping down the bridge of my
nose and actually fell off my face numerous times as a result (am I the
only one this happens to??). I recently resigned myself to the fact
that it's time for a replacement, and after looking around for a while,
this Chelsea style
by Oliver Peoples is it. They're chicly pared-down but oversize (I've
always subscribed to the bigger-is-better belief when it comes to
plastic frames) though the rims and bands are quite thin, which gives
them a delicate, ladylike twist. There are no logos and/or bulging
hardware—
a pet peeve of mine—and happily, they fit so snugly I'll never
have to worry about them nose-diving off my face. Though they're
expensive ($325), if you plan to wear them as often and for as long as
I do, they're worth it.
