You've been framed...

Okay so today I woke up again thinking the summer must be here. Just like Saturday....I open my eyes and blammm there's the Sun in its full glory. Those who saw me Saturday noticed I was bussin' the shorts and why the hell not. Dont get me wrong by about 3 I was regretting the decision but dont hate on a man for getting excited for the summer.

Part of everyone's summer survival kit is a clean set of frames. Last year was all about the 'Wayfarer', whether you opted for the Ray Ban's, the Oakley 'Frogskins' or the £2 'Primarni' one's is irrelevant. 2008 was dominated by the 'Wayfarer'. First seen back in the 1950's but gained popularity in the 70's on the faces of Rock n Roll bands and from there taken on by us all.

This year the only frame who will contend with the Wayfarer is the 'Clubmaster'. Ray Ban dropped these badboys in 1986 but summer 2009 will see the youth bring these back into the limelight.

001 - Copy

See me holding it down like Malcolm in these. Props to CC for this hook up. Available at The Three Threads.

Hold tight my Italian and Spanish bredrin for rocking the 'Aviator's' from January to January year on year. You guys own that!

Stussy Michaels.. and maybe some frogskins.


Yes Anon, straight hypebeast.

RayBans are straight classics that will never get out dated.

Obviously loads of people copped wayfares last year and the year before that and so on.

But i'll keep rocking my mum's old tortoise shell ones until they snap in half.

Bang Band UB40 all day....good spot. Its the UB40 in Dub album. Highly recommended!

Malcolm X auto is good, you aint ready though Trav.

Back to the wayfarers....the shape will never lose top spot in my opinion. I've always found it hard to find a decent frame that suits me so when the clubmasters looked ight i was an immediate fan.

If GQ have featured these frames then damn they are nearly as late as me on these.
