Buying shoes from UK/EU websites, cost of returns?
Hey y'all I'm looking to buy a pair of sambas and I really like the prices on these websites:

https://www.sivasdescalzo.com/us/p/samba-og-w-id0477?s_kwcid=AL!12929!3!!!!x!!&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-4aOz_HEhAMVM2VHAR1s7wANEAQYByABEgIpN_D_BwE
But considering they don't cover return shipping, is that a risk? Especially if I'm looking at "women's exclusive" colorways where the sizing may be weird? Or am I overthinking it?

What sunglasses styles are popular right now?
I have been rocking off-brand aviators for a while now but recently I've felt they make me look like my dad (derogatory).
What shapes, shades and styles are popular right now? How do you pick a pair that will look good on you?
What brands/stores would you recommend to get them made with prescription lenses? I wear contacts occasionally but much prefer having a pair that let me wear my regular glasses when I want to.

Pants overhaul
Hey y'all
I've been working pretty hard on putting a decent wardrobe together and getting rid of all my old ill-fitting stuff. Since it's summer, I focused on building back up my shorts collection and I feel it's at a good place now. But now I'm feeling in a rut with the pants that I own.
What I own now:
1) Black (slightly faded) skinny Levis 510s. These are a little too skinny for my taste right now, but I'll def keep them
2) H&M beige linen pants that are 2 inches too long that I just got and haven't hemmed yet.
What I've been thinking of getting
1) Pair of deep brown workwear pants. https://www.3sixteen.com/products/work-pant-brown-twill
These are my ideal pair but are way out of my budget. I've been a little stuck on deciding on things like what brand, fabric weight, length, fit, etc. I really would like them to be close to that color though, and wider that a slim fit though.
2) Pair of green/olive chinos or work pants. Again, not sure on the fit to go for here. I'm a slim-taper guy looking to explore the wider fits that are trending
3) Black non-jeans. Not sure where to start here. When I want to pair a casual button down with black pants I've always just reached for my jeans in the past, but I don't really like how they look anymore. I'm also not sure that the wider trousers/linen pants I've seen in inspo albums really work here because they feel too casual for somewhere like a nice restaurant.
4) Blue jeans. Never owned a pair of light wash jeans in my life, so I've been mostly looking for deep indigo. Again, I wanted to expand out of slim jean territory so I tried on a bunch of levis blind without looking at the tag, and decided on a pair I liked best, and it ended up being the 512s which are slim taper so I felt like I was back at square one.
5) Something else funky, like burgundy chinos or something.
Any advice or specific brands/IDs appreciated. Thanks!
