My Sunglasses Collection | Ray-Ban, Persol, Oliver Peoples | Best Sunglasses For Men

[@aPixelcoffee]

What I really like about this is that it's not just another restrictive "guide" to which sunglasses match your face shape, but rather an impressive showcase that you are free to wear any frames if you size them right. A refreshing approach.

[@hespokestyle]

Thanks so much. Yeah, those guides are bogus to an extent. It's all about the frame size and your confidence wearing them.

[@alexsherel3344]

Shame it’s refreshing, it shouldn’t be, as this should be the norm. Thanks for him.

[@duncandistortion]

Persol are my favourite brand they're made to last & look very classy & are understated, i also have ray bans which i like.

[@hespokestyle]

Cheers!

[@LuisMercadoorg]

That’s why I love my Oliver Peoples M4. The engraving all around the frame is exquisite, very Art Nouveau.

[@hespokestyle]

Awesome details.

[@derosa1989]

great point on the size. I'm also not a big guy, and most glasses made me feel like i was somehow wearing my father's sunglasses, when i got my first pair of properly sized (52's for me) everything finally clicked. I tend to wear RayBans because i just like them, and they fit, and had to just get over the fact they are everywhere. A rose by any other name....

[@hespokestyle]

Very cool. Size definitely matters...when we're talking about sunglasses.

[@yeetwchybaban]

@@hespokestyle heh

[@MF-pz9od]

I’d love a skillshare class in advanced color/pattern variations (ie Houndstooth jacket, paisley tie). A broad and personal category but with guidelines that would be fun to deep dive iyo

[@hespokestyle]

Nice!

[@AndreMonz]

I am also fond of the idea of wearing sunglasses according to it's size and not thinking so much about it's shape. Although the shape of your glasses counterbalance or emphasize the face features, it's possible to wear any shape as long as it doesn't look way out of proportion. My favourites on your collection are the Persol 649 and the Chopard.

[@hespokestyle]

EXACTLY. Thanks for chiming in, André.

[@pedooxcx1776]

Thanks Brian... I'm from IRAN🇮🇷, your page is great and I always enjoy to watch the videos and learn from that...🙏🙏

[@hespokestyle]

Hi! Thank you so much for the kind words and support.

[@jamesmurray3128]

I agree, the 52 size in the Persol 649 is a better for me too. As a Clubmaster fan, check out the Persol 3105 & 3199.

[@jenniferromonoyske3655]

I completely agree there are those guides but it’s totally the size ! I hate those rules b/c I got so many compliments on glasses I never thought I could wear but the size for my temples !

[@simonhodgetts6530]

Persol every time for me - I also have 2 pairs of eyeglasses - beautifully made, classically styled, and will last for decades.

[@Larry-qz3es]

The first pair of sunglasses that I purchased three years ago, was Wayfarers by Ray-Ban. I am now strongly considering purchasing a pair of Persol's 714SM that was worn by Steve McQueen. He also wore the pair in the film "Bullet."

[@SkyFather]

My favorite sunglasses of all time. Oliver Peoples Gregory Peck OV5186. Ray-Ban Wayfarer special series, Lindberg 9744

[@unknowninfinium4353]

I thought about many different ways to say this but decided to say it as it is: I read a comment awhile back about how conversations now are being more technology involved. It's as if the evolution of language is increasingly becoming more expressed through technology. Whereas once it was through face to face. This got me thinking about 'language' and 'conversations'. For example if I met you in person Brian, I'd love to talk about philosophy, how it has evolved and the current state and which is accepted more. For instance how Nihilism is now gaining momentum and is being displayed more often in cinema. For example 'Joker', 'Shegure' from no country for old men. Then I'd love to talk about 'Hegelian Dialectics'. That's when it hit me, even as I write this to you Brian, I never truly had a good, honest, deep, intellect conversation with anyone face to face. If at all the most emotional depth of a conversation would be through 'memes', it's fun to read and often good source to laugh at but it gets strange when the langauge used for conversation gets filled with 'lols', 'derp', 'simp', etc. Even as I type this, I first mentioned I'll 'say' it like it is but I have written these words not 'said' any of these words to you face to face. Final words: Its a great strength to use humor. At your life situation. It gives you strength. But the main point being is the most intimate, intellect, thought provoking conversations have left the natural way and if so is it a good or a bad thing? Would be a great topic if you run out of ideas to discuss wherever you want to Brian.Take care, stay safe man. Love your content.

[@hespokestyle]

Really appreciate you taking the time for that comment. Maybe if we have an HSS meetup in the future you can attend!

Sold my first decent pair of oakley 24k xxmetals and bought a pair of club masters which I'm super happy with. The oakleys took about 2 hours to sell and I'll never buy them for what I sold them for but I'm so happy with ray bans I dont think I'd go back to the xx metals again. Bought oakleys for 400 15 years ago and sold em for a thousand. Then sold my juliet's that were never worn for 500 the same day. Both were great looking but not practical. Rsyban club master have a timeless look.

It's striking how well the Garrett Leight Hamptons follow the curve of your browline. It's like they were made bespoke for you.

Several years ago, I stumbled upon the sunglass maker “Raen”. Not crazy expensive, but acetate frames and Zeiss lenses. I have four different colors of the “Suko” style. Unfortunately, they don’t make that frame anymore. Very happy with the Raen brand!

[@ia9518]

do you have any size information on your vintage USS frames? Thanks!

I recently started a sunglasses collection to include Jacque Marie Mage Dealan 53, Eyevan 786, Thierry Lasry - Rhude, Tom Ford Snowden’s, Persol, and ( of course ) Ray-Ban Wayfarer.

Ray Ban is my fav because they are the most famous sunglasses and they came up with Aviators which are my fav.

[@pistachiosandpopcorn7146]

What I mean by most popular is that Ray Bans and Sunglasses are like interchangeable words. So I have to give credit where it's due..and also they are very good sunglasses.

Interesting frame. Sort of looks like a hybrid of the Persol 649 and the Chopards I have.

Hello Brian. Thanks for sharing your collection. You have many really cool pieces. The persole styled ones are my favorite of your collection and I will have to pick some up one day! I was thinking about what you said on wearing darker sunglasses in summer, and I'm not sure where you are at, but I find in Canada it's more the opposite because of how much the snow and ice reflect the sunlight.

I truly think your videos are more visually appealing when you sit casually to the side and are viewed from waist up with Fred Astaire picture in background.

Not a criticism just an observation as your channel is absolutely my favorite.

Haha what timing, I was just going over your old sunglasses video. It's a great collection, Brian! I don't wear glasses normally, and I've had little use for sunglasses in Korea (only for driving), so my collection is very limited. I've got a pair of Ray-Ban aviators and a pair of wayfarers from Karl Lagerfeld, but the wayfarers have reflective coating on them which makes them a bit too cool for everyday use I think. The sun's out a little longer and taller here in NY so maybe I'll invest in one more for every day use - perhaps a more toned down wayfarer? Anyway the new videos have been great, it must be difficult to come up with new ideas in these difficult and weird times. Hope you keep up the excellent work! - Han
