I’ve spent a few years running around with a pair of Oakley M-frames for sunglasses. They weren’t particularly dressy, being more suited for pairing with Heckler & Koch than Hugo Boss. So, when I was at the mall with my fashion-guru friend the other weekend, we took the time to stop and see what was available.

After trying on a few pairs and finding only one plausible candidate, I was persuaded to try on a pair of brown tinted Ray-Bans. I normally shy away from colors that remind me of the 70s, but in this case I’m glad I didn’t.
