What kind/style sunglasses do you wear?

For a nice casual pair of sunglasses what do u wear or recommend? I'm not looking for anything flashy or too sporty, just something stylish to wear while driving/walking around the city.
 
i have a pair of beat-up oakleys that i've had a while. they're almost too much, i'd prefer something a little more understated. most oakleys can look quite douchey in the right situation, especially in something other than black lenses. but they're durable as hell, comfortable, and have high quality lenses. and that's basically the stuff you should look for.

edit: also no male bukakke goggles please.

I've got an 8 year old (or so) pair of Bolle glasses that make me look like I came off the set of The Matrix. I'm thinking it's time for new ones.
 
Some of those Oakleys look nice ^

I never really cared for the volleyball guy look though. I'm thinking more modelesque?
 
those red ones are horrid but i'd wear all the ones on the right.

The radars are just as comfortable and sporty to me as my trusty ol' Mframes...

I have worn Oakleys since the early 90's...I loved my razor blades...I think I have some of the trigger earpieces laying around somewhere...you could just mail those into Oakley when they broke (which happened alot 🙁 ) and they would sent replacements free of charge no matter what....
 
I have two pairs of Oakley - Juliets. I also have a pair of Twenty's from 6 years ago (they don't make them anymore) but I let my dad use them.

One pair of Juliets with Emerald (greenish) lenses, and the other with Ice (blue). Absolutely love them.
 
I have a few pairs of oakleys: gascan, spike, square wires
also got a few skater brands: Anon, Von Zipper
My most recent and fav. atm is my Maui Jim Aviators.

Its really difficult recommending styles of sunglasses to each other because everyone's face shape is different. I would most definitely suggest getting polarized lenses, it makes a whole world of difference.
 
I have always had $20 crap Polarized glasses.

A few months ago, the Saks Fifth Avenue outlet near us had all sunglasses 1/2 off,
and that weekend only was an extra 30% off everything in the store (Christmas shopping season).

I got a pair of Ray Bans for $50. They are the first pair that actually fit my face perfectly.
The polarization is really good on them and they do not skew my vision at all.
I would highly recommend Ray Bans, but there is no way I would pay full price for them ($139).

They look similar to these, but I forget the actual model.

Definitely get polarized!!!
 
I initially bought a pair of Ray Bans, but the metal frame, glass lenses and tiny nose supports made red marks on my nose after only minutes of wearing them. I returned them for a pair of Oakleys.
