Marc by Marc Jacobs Women's MMJ 199/S Aviator Sunglasses

I was looking for a nice pair of aviator sunglasses for everyday wear, particularly lighter colored lenses in the rose or light brown spectrum. I saw these and immediately thought they were beautiful, and I had to order them. I committed to the buy even though I am one who is extremely skeptical about ordering sunglasses from third parties online and not directly through the manufacturer or brand, as I've had bad experiences in the past with knock-offs or damaged merchandise. This pair exceeded my expectations and did not disappoint. They arrived in absolutely pristine condition, in a hard case that included a Marc Jacobs microfiber cleaning cloth, and papers of authenticity. I have a small face and these sunglasses fit me perfectly. Hoping I can enjoy these for many years. The design and style are timeless and classy, at a very reasonable price.

These sunglasses are exactly what I was looking for. I have a small face, and aviator-style sunglasses usually look huge on me. these are absolutely perfect. The lenses are gradient, so they're not super dark, in case that's what you're looking for. they look awesome. If you don't have a small face, don't bother as they'll probably be too small. My eyelashes do tend to hit the lenses, but I'm used to sunglasses falling off my face all the time, so it doesn't bother me at all. They come with a case and a cleaning cloth. I love these!

Style-wise, these are great. The sidebars are more pink than you'd think looking at the photos, so if someone looks closely they're *not* exactly men's sunglasses. The minimum I can give them is 1 star, but I have to add 1 star for the style and 1 star for the case quality. Plus they come with replaceable plastic wires in case the underwire on the lenses breaks.While the style is nice, the quality is pretty low. All jokes aside, I've seen better-quality aviators on the sunglasses racks in gas stations. So, my recommendation is: If you want designer aviators that aren't Paris Hilton big, get these. If you don't mind wearing no-name brands, seriously try on the shades in a gas station - you'll get much better quality for 1/5 the price.Pros:- Style; while well sized, these aren't "jumbo" sized sunglasses that look ridiculous- Lenses; The shading on the lenses is just about perfect - darker at the top for the sun, lighter on the bottom.- Components; I love that these came with the underwires replacements (the little strap that runs under a lens to hold it in) in case you break one. The case also is pretty nice, plus a microfiber cleaning cloth.Cons:- Quality. The single biggest downside is how cheap they're made. You can get much better quality for the same price with Serengeti (and better optics), or pay equally for the name but have higher quality for Tom Ford. I've found better, sturdier frames on those spinning racks of $10 sunglasses in gas stations.- Pink, not brown. Strictly speaking, not really "manly" sunglasses even though you find them in the Unisex or Men's department here on Amazon.Brand-to-quality wise, I'd suggest these shades are priced $50 or so for the name and $5 for the quality.

I bought this around a month ago. I liked the fact that it was comfortable to put on and doesn't leave any marks on your face even if you put it on for hours.It might be a bit too dark for clear vision, but that's okay with me.Great price, great purchase.

The glasses: They looked alright but were pretty flat and the lens didn't really block out the sun coming into the side of the glasses. I could tell that they were more for style than function so I decided to return them.The return (lost $26 in the process): This it the first item I've purchased and returned from a 3rd party seller on Amazon and the processes was a little confusing. Even though I got "free shipping" with these glasses, I assumed I'd have to pay for mailing when I returned them (which I did). It took them awhile to process the return (their customer service just referred me back to amazon when I asked about the return) but when I finally saw the return processed on amazon I got $10 less!So after paying $6.00 to return the package, losing an additional $10 in the return, and (I can only assume) paying an additional $10 in the sale - since "free shipping" is included in the price. I paid an extra $26.00 for glasses that I didn't like or even keep.

I've always been one to buy cheap sunglasses, $2, $4 a pair. They looked good, were fashionable, and when I tired of them, lost them or damaged them, no big deal. On the con side, I have a narrow bridge on my nose so I always found those cheap sunglasses a bit uncomfortable and heavy. Parts would fall off the sunglasses or they'd just look bad after a season. Finally decided to splurge on these Marc Jacobs after seeing Kelly Bensimon wear them on Real Housewives of NYC (yes, I know, *groan*! but she is fashionable!). These are fantastic! They're sturdy and well-built but light feeling. They have classic aviator lines and they look good with everything I wear. They're not too "dark" so I can wear them in many settings. Really, really love these and I'd be heartbroken if I ever lost them!

The frame color above the nose is chipping already and I have only used them for 2 months. They will not allow me to exchange as I am past the timeframe. I have only worn them 10 times! I should have jsut ordered them at Nordstrom's. The product of Marc Jacobs should be much higher quality than this which leads me to be concerned that they are not real.

Very lightweight and look great. I wish the tinting was a bit darker, but I adore that they are a good size for a female face. The nose guards don't grab my hair when I put them on top of my head and they have withstood my toddler several times. I have the white ones and they go with everything yet don't look like every other pair of aviators out there. Can't beat the price.
