Fall Back on Tortoise Shell

With October coming to an end and fall gaining its stride it's time put away those summer aviators and bright colored wafarers. Instead you'll want to reach for a more subdued pair of sunglasses like these tortoise shell Ray-bans. Their more neutral color palate will go better with all the plaids, greys, and tweeds that are pulled out of the closet during the pre-winter months. Plus you can forgo the sunglasses and just wear them as regular frames like Rob Lowe in the Ricky Gervais comedy, The Invention of Lying. Ray-Ban Original Wafarer ($139) The Invention of Lying now playing in theaters.

And If you don't feel like spending the 139 bucks there are plenty of less expensive versions like these found at Fred Flare for considerablly less. fredflare.com ($11)
