Answer: The Ray-Ban Wayfarer
For all those who only know oakleys and only know the friggin half-jacket (man... have some personality please) here is some education for ya.
"The Ray-Ban Wayfarer is a design of sunglasses manufactured by Ray-Ban since 1952, when their design was a revolutionary break from the metal eyewear of the past. Wayfarers enjoyed early popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, especially after they were worn by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Though the sunglasses had faded from the limelight by the 1970s, a lucrative 1982 product placement deal brought Wayfarers to their height of popularity. Since the mid-2000s, the sunglasses have been enjoying a revival. Wayfarers are sometimes cited as the best-selling design of sunglasses in history and have been called a classic of modern design and one of the most enduring fashion icons of the 20th century."
Audrey Hepburn. She could have made anything look good. Ever have the feeling that old is gold? Since the glamorous 50s, the world have not seen any fashion icon at the same level as these luminaries. Jackie O & Grace Kelly comes to mind. What we have now are a bunch of hypebeast with no personality.

Enough of all your bugeye shades. Try other styles like the aviators and wayfarers. In recent years, I've seen lotsa kids wearing them wayfarer style specs. Much like 方大同.
