WHAT'S THE SKINNY?
A pair of Ray-Bans that you won't see on every street corner.
It’s not that you don’t love your Ray-Ban Wayfarers—it’s just that everyone (and their mother, father, brother, sister…) owns a pair. And you’d prefer something a bit more unique.
Like a slender-frame, big-eye version of the classic plastic lenses unique. Like Ray-Ban’s new Skinnies, a modified version of the sun-blocking blockbuster.
The Skinnies are more Breakfast at Tiffany’s glamour than The Blues Brothers’ rebellion, thanks to a giant lenses and delicate arms. But they’re still everything you love about your Ray-Bans—ace construction, long-term durability, cool color duos—minus the ubiquity factor. Talk about eye opening…

There's nothing that special about them, they're just a pair of black sunglasses - and certainly not worth $129. I'll stick to my Chinatown knockoffs !

i mean.. they're okay. i sure wouldn't pay $129 for them considering they look like every other pair of shades. stop buying name brands people! shop smart you can find the cutest sunglasses for 10-20$ and if you really NEED to spend your...scratch that... your parents money buy cheap sunglasses (considering sunglasses always break) and give the other $100 to something useful, like donating to help the people in darfur. fashion is great but helping people in need and working towards stopping genocide is just amazing.

For over $100 you've got to be kidding me. I could find that same exact looking sunglasses at walmart or Target for under $20.

they look kinda nasty. i wouldn't pay a dollar over $5 for those glasses. the original raybands look waaaaaay better.

I'm not feeling these. I don't know, I'd have to try them for myself to see what they'd look like on, but from these pics I don't like them.

Absolutely I will buy them! They're adorable!
By the way, for those saying $129 is crazy for sunglasses you're really paying for quality. I felt the same way as you up until I bought a pair of cheap sunglasses that made me partially blind in my right eye.
hhh

"And you’d prefer something a bit more unique."
only unique for so long....
and Natalia-
"By the way, for those saying $129 is crazy for sunglasses you're really paying for quality" not really! ive had perfectly effective sunglasses from walmart!

They're cool, but not $129 cool.

I think they are kind of hot! I definitely wouldn't ware them with everything, but they are a little nerdy chic. To the China town shoppers, some stuff is alright, but not the sunglasses. They break mad easy. Spend the money on the real deal and you'll typically get a warranty.

I love them. Ive been admiring them for quite some time. Everyday when i look up at my audrey poster i think wow are those some slick glasses. They're pretty classic I mean after all they have been around since the 60's. Ray Ban just makes great looking glasses

To all the welfare cases wearing knock-off Ray Ban styles... please consider the fact that for the infinite pairs of dumb $10 sunglasses you buy in a life time, I will only have had to buy one pair of GOOD QUALITY shades.. except I'm addicted to buying them... and the Skinnies are soo Hepburn, I love it (even though I will always dig the blues brotha's rebellion look the most, wayfarers till death) I spend way too much money on sunglasses, but I'm cooler than you, so it's worth it.

I am all about these Raybans. I love the shape of the Wayfarers but they aren't the right size for my face. These have bigger lenses much for suited to me and its a plus that they aren't quite as overdone. You get what you pay for, cheap in price means cheap in quality.

I <3 my wayfarers.

Whoa Erika, tone down the crazy! Just because someone can't afford name brands doesn't mean they are on welfare. That's ridiculously obnoxious to put someone down for their financial status. As if someone can really help it. You probably don't spend a dime of your own money, I bet it's all mommy and daddy's cash. FYI Self-indulgence is incredibly unbecoming. Get a personality you mime.

wow some people...ithink everyone shouold be entitled to their own opinions...if you hate it whatever...but please don't bash other people if they think otherwise. And just because we like these..does not mean we don't have our own sense of style, please it's not lie I go out of my way to be trendy.

Out come the claws over a pair of semi-decent glasses.
P.S. This made me crack up, "I spend way too much money on sunglasses, but I'm cooler than you, so it's worth it. "
Hahaha. Whatever it takes to make you feel good, darling!

i just think it's funny that you say it's stupid for people to be fighting over glasses, but so are you...doesn't that make you a hypocrite?
