Kind of like an oversized top is big.&nbsp;I don't think they look *overly* big. I think that with the trend toward large sunnies, these will fit right in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472488 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 21:42:48 +0000 Echo 1472488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to love them; I really love the colour. But I have a poison eye for glasses where the frame is not consistent around the lens, so the plastic on top and metal on the bottom just doesn't coordinate to me. Additionally, they look wider on your face than on the model, but that may be due to the angle at which&nbsp;the model's pic was taken. However, the distance shot kind of erases all that, and I think they do look fab in the last picture. Given that that is the way most people will see them, I'd vote to keep - especially if the hubs loves them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472478 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 21:08:03 +0000 jackiec 1472478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cool sunnies. They read big to me. But I'm not an expert in any way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472462 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:45:55 +0000 catgirl 1472462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I hear you. I'm still undecided because DH loves them and they are just so much fun.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472447 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 20:25:25 +0000 Angie 1472447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una (and Debs), it's not the size that bothers me with these sunnies. It's the WIDTH. Debs' sunnies, despite being large,&nbsp;are much narrower and fit her face.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472398 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 19:12:17 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1472398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they look a bit too big. If you want smaller but still insanely green, check out Illestevas. I have green mirrored ones in a tortoise frame from last year.&nbsp;</p> <p>&lt;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cusp.com/Illesteva-Leonard-Round-Horn-Pattern-Sunglasses-with-Mirror-Lens-Stylist-Pick/prod12020050/p.prod?srccode=cii_426179448&amp;cpncode=39-37079371-2&amp;ecid=CUCIPolyvore">http://www.cusp.com/Illesteva-.....st-Pick/pr</a>&gt; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472359 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 18:03:33 +0000 Suz 1472359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are a bit large, yes. The mm sizing will be different depending on the style, a bit...can't be absolute and have to try them. Alas. I think the colour is really cool!&nbsp;</p> <p>And happy birthday again!! :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472357 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 17:59:48 +0000 Kirstjen 1472357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color. &nbsp;Like others, I think they might be a bit wide for your face.&nbsp; I think that cat eyes are not exactly subtle &amp; that you can find that they are limiting, so I would think that, while you might like this pair in addition to others, you probably don't want them to be your only pair or your most expensive pair. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472352 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 17:56:11 +0000 Anonymous 1472352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They <i>are</i> a little big but if they're not hard to wear I don't think the over size -ness&nbsp;is more&nbsp;noticeable to the observer than the&nbsp;boldness of the style overall. If you can find the same look in a smaller size, great, if&nbsp;you're comfortable with them the way they are&nbsp;they're fine with me. Definitely a head turning look.<br />I LOVE the lens color on you for sure, and I LOVE your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472333 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 17:01:50 +0000 AviaMariah 1472333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the closeup pic I thought they looked way to wide but in the further away picture I like them. &nbsp;No help at all I know. &nbsp;I too do not understand sunglasses at all. &nbsp;That's why I usually buy a $20 pair. &nbsp;Someday I'll get grownup sunglasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472331 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:59:55 +0000 catgirl 1472331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So these are not for driving - I have old prescription glasses for that.&nbsp; They are really just for fun when I don't need my prescription glasses.&nbsp; DH actually really loved them, which is surprising as he's pretty conservative.&nbsp; Thanks for all the input.&nbsp; My very fashionable&nbsp;18 year old niece says "Never too big!" which tells me what that age range thinks!</p> <p>Angie and others, if these go back should I be looking for a 54mm lens?&nbsp;&nbsp; Cat-eyes generally seem wider, but I don't fully get how sunglasses work in terms of looks.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472206 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 14:31:32 +0000 Angie 1472206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea but find them a tad too wide.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472159 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:55:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1472159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're absolutely fabulous! Love the color and the fit. Like Shevia said, nobody is going to be looking at your disembodied head! I like the slightly oversize look and think they really, really for you and your style. I vote keep all the way :)</p> <p>And FWIW, my Wayfarer sunglasses are 55mm and I like the oversized frame and lens for good sun protection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472142 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:22:00 +0000 viva 1472142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're fun -- and happy birthday! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472133 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:08:33 +0000 approprio 1472133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're fantastic, the sort of thing that can inspire a summer look in all kinds of directions. But the deal breaker for me is performance in strong sunlight. Are they decent lenses? Can you drive in them?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472124 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 11:43:25 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1472124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them quite a lot. &nbsp;They are wider across the top and the contrast between the frame and lens may emphasize the width but with sunglasses, it isn't as big a concern. &nbsp;With clear glasses, it looks much better if your eyes are centered in the lenses. &nbsp;I love that with sunglasses, that isn't a concern for those of us with small faces.</p> <p>I think they look really nice and have that edge that is part of your style but you have to love them to wear them and glasses and sunnies are such a personal choice it is hard to advise. &nbsp;I think they are very nice on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472089 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 07:45:51 +0000 Anonymous 1472089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big is definitely trending and I really like them on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472078 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 06:54:59 +0000 Deborah 1472078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think sunglasses can be big. &nbsp;I like these a lot. &nbsp;My sunglasses are approx 55mm and add the frames and they are big (see #1 before I had my hair cut) but I think that is the point of sunglasses. &nbsp;If you like them, and they are comfortable I say keep. &nbsp;I love how the white trim works with your grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472075 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 06:39:04 +0000 rachylou 1472075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are they falling off or anything?

They might be fine at a slight distance. I like the concept! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472014 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 03:30:11 +0000 Zibbets 1472014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love big sunglasses and the color of the lenses on these is amazing!<br />The big "eyebrow" sort of echoes the collar of your jacket.&nbsp;<br />They're big, but not over the top, imho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1472006 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 03:24:53 +0000 MsMaven 1472006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Most people couldn't carry these off, but I have to say, I like these on you. I think with your new hair they look great. I'm wondering if this is the new look in sunglasses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1471968 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:38:02 +0000 Janet 1471968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Denise. They are a little big, but that is a look, as Karie says. I'm a little sensitive to glasses being large because I have such trouble finding the right fit. They are really cool though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1471967 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:35:50 +0000 Diana 1471967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them a lot! I am a big fan of enormous sunglasses. I look for the biggest ones I can find (I have Rx ones so there's a limit to how big the lens can be, sadly.). Anyway, what's the point of sun protection if it just gets in from the sides? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1471966 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:34:08 +0000 CocoLion 1471966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look a bit too big and wide to me but at the same time I like them. &nbsp;I think there's a trend of huge sunglasses right now and I'm still adjusting. &nbsp;They are definitely fashion-forward! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1471957 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:17:12 +0000 Karie 1471957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They're big - but sunnies are supposed to be big. 56mm is the width of the lens. I like them on you,&nbsp;but if you're petite and have small features they might overwhelm you. If you check out the website "What I Wore," Jessica Quirk wears huge sunglasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/birthday-sunglasses-yay-or-nay#post-1471940 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:00:38 +0000 catgirl 1471940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an impossible time figuring out sunnies. Don't understand shape, sizing or styles. I do love a cat-eye and the crazy green of these Kate Spades which I asked for in mint. </p> <p>What say you, Fabbers? They are a present from DH but since I picked them without trying, he knew they might go back. And if nay, can anyone explain sizing in glasses? These are 56mm - what does that mean? </p> <p>I added a normal pic as I think the close-up&nbsp;iPad selfie is a bit distorted.&nbsp; In the second photo, I actually think they look good, and I really love the style, color and bit of edge they give.&nbsp; But be honest, because I don't buy lots of sunnies!</p>
