What kind/style sunglasses do you wear?

[hanoverphist]

i usually wear black wrap sunglasses that i find at convenience stores, airports or other places that have them for under 20 bucks. i used to wear wayfarers way back when, but never could keep them on my face while riding my motorcycle. currently i am looking for my fave pair of wraps, and wearing a pair of ray ban side streets i found. yup, found. pretty damn nice shades, been wearing them for a couple weeks now. a lens screw fell out sometime today, so now im bummed. id never actually pay for a brand name pair of sunglassses tho, that would be silly ^_^

Prada Dallamoda.
Most comfortable pair Ive ever worn.
Look good with a suit and tie, and my black +silver watch.
Makes everything look clear and crisp with very little light refracted.
Awesome, and recommended.

I hope you have room in your closet to set those sunglasses next to your MC Hammer pants and your alarm clock necklace. Have you got a pair of those skinny jeans yet? I hear that's the new fad.

Yeah I'm old at 28. I just never had the sheep mentality. I know when something looks ridiculous. It doesn't take me 10 years from today to realize oversized glasses and wearing a sideways ball cap makes you look like a douche. I guarantee 10 years from now you'll deny ever wearing any of it.

$15 pair that I bought at target FTW

kidding me with all these oakley recommendations? you guys also wearing Ocean Pacific and Champion sweatpants?

holy 1990's

Frogskins are an 80's Oakley model they revived... try finding a pair. By far the glasses to have right now, can't see a pro snowboarder/skater etc. who isn't wearing them.

But I'm sure you are much cooler

 

[lord_emperor]

Sunglasses are something that I tend to drop, step on, or use to intercept rocks & bugs destined for my eyes.

Thusly I only spend ~$20 on them.

Nonetheless I prefer metal frames and unrimmed lenses.

I'm not familiar with other sunglass companies, but Oakley will make prescription sunglasses for you if you have the proper prescription/measurements. $$$, though.

I dont wear hats, I dont wear Ed Retardy, and my glasses arent overly oversized. They are perfect for driving. If im going to buy glasses for the purpose of blocking the sun I wont buy these.

I think you just like to argue for arguing sake.
And the bolded part is what makes you mature: and I agree.

I used to wear Oakleys exclusively, but years ago I lost my pair and they stopped making that exact type. I tried all their others and none of them fit me the way the old ones did. Now I just use cheap $15 sunglasses since they fit well and work good enough.

I loved those damn Oakleys. I had them for probably a good 7-8 years before I lost them.

Yeah they do cost a bit
Mine:


I paid $100 + $30ish for polarization

but before insurance it was about $300

I don't care if people think that they're "so 90's". The things were on clearance and they look ok.

ray-ban aviators

 

[fatpat268]

the 90's are calling and would like their sunglasses back.

Really? Oakley does update their styles you know.

Maybe I just don't keep up with fashion, but those full faced gradient sunglasses are fugly and sure as hell doesn't belong on a guy.

My sunglasses:

Oakley Titanium Polarized Whisker

And more important, they work great.

Some twisted frame palladium and titanium crap by David Yurman... Looks good though

Some polarized Spy Optics I got in Maui a few years ago. They don't make a pair exactly like them anymore but I like them - although they're a bit scratched in some areas.

 

[mchammer187]

Maui Jim Wailea is what I wear 95% of the time

I have a couple pairs of oakleys that I will wear when going to the beach or something but I doubt I'll ever buy a another pair of Oakleys again.
