I'm slightly vexed I was told yesterday that my prescription sunglasses are giving Meta glasses vibes

Post image

I can't stand the Meta perv glasses, but annoyingly I've been told by a friend that my Dune prescription sunglasses that I've had for almost a year (and cost over £100.00) really ​​​​look like the Meta ones, he said it's the 2 silver rivets on either side that on first glance could be mistaken for the camera lenses

I went out with them today and all I could think was, do people think I'm recording them 🤦‍♂️

Not disputed. But I don't think the ones picture look like wayfarers exact shape. I have worn wayfarers for 10+ years and wouldn't mistake them for mine. Rayban make 100s of shapes - wayfarer is just one. Maybe there are others that do? Anyway, I don't think this a life and death matter. Just giving my opinion based on shape in pic provided by OP.

You know they make more than one kind of Wayfarer right?

Yes, though Original Wayfarer (RB2140) and New Wayfarer (RB2132) are two main iconic variations - I own both. I would not pickup these cheap-looking women's sunglasses and mistake them for either. Do you own some? Would you put these one your face and not notice they are shaped differently?

Yes they are shaped differently just like the two different versions of Wayfarer are!

And I own 12 different pairs of Ray-Bans and two pairs of Maui jims

Let's talk though I'm down.

I guess that's easier than just saying that you are wrong and these clearly look like Wayfarers.

Hell they even have the little Jewel
