Quite Continental

Newest addition to the family is a pair of Ray-Ban Caribbeans in light brown, with gradient lenses.  Yours truly almost settled on a pair of Wayfarers, before deciding something different was in order.  J’adore the slightly larger, squared shape and whisper of an upturned corner on these beauties.  Originally released in 1964, the Caribbeans have a lovely bit of glamour that I find lacking in the ubiquitous Wayfarers but retain the classicism I was looking for in a pair of Ray Bans.  Think of Caribbeans as the slightly more posh cousin of the traditional Wayfarers.

Next on my list is a pair of Catty Clubmasters, if only I can decide on the color. (Of course, I’m leaning towards red.)
