There's a Reason These are Classics!
I got mine about about two years ago from my local Nordstrom. I have to say, there's nothing quite like the originals, dark gradient green lenses and the tortoise frames. I would resist the bright, trendy colors since they are already too trendy. The solid color, original Wayfarers will be around forever.
What I love: they suit almost any face perfect, from round to slim to oblong. They provide excellent shade in either polarized or unpolarized versions. The color of the lenses on the originals is also flattering, not too dark that you can't see indoors, but dark enough and gradient enough to be interesting looking. The slim profile makes them easy to travel with.
The only thing I'd caution against with these is the fact that they provide very little or no side coverage. I keep a very large, cheap pair for those days I'm going to be driving a lot or for walks on the beach. Just something to think about if you're wrinkle-conscious like me!
