Wearing GM’s My Ma Sunglasses: Our Honest Review
The Gentle Monster My Ma sunglasses are slightly smaller and is more circular in shape as compared to their popular Her and Flatba sunglasses. As it is slightly smaller, its weight is significantly lighter, yet still feels steady on the nose. Its circular cut is perfect for those who have high cheek bones, and interestingly, the sunglasses has an effect which gives the V-shape jaw line look.
Some things about the glasses I enjoyed:
- The lenses are a good shade of black, from the outside, it looks really dark but when you wear it, it does not feel as ‘blacked out’.
- Gives the full black, chunky glasses look without shaping your face so squarely.
- Covers a large part of your face.
- Lenses are over the frame, not within the frame. This gives a seamless look throughout.
- Felt good wearing them as you know you look good, and cool!
Other things to note:
- The plastic frame can be easily be scratched.
- Prices of sunglasses differ across countries.
- There are many unauthentic ones and you can check for authenticity on their website.
- The shop offers complimentary widening or size adjustments of the glasses.
