Question:
I also love the classic style sunglasses. I never thought Ray Bans were appealing in the least when I was young. It was all about the techno, blue-mirror shaded, chrome metal look.
My tastes are different now (or maybe I'm just getting old) so Ray Ban Wayfarers look pretty cool to my eyes all of a sudden (Well, maybe not on 80s rock band members.) I may look for glasses with a smaller proportion and a turtoise shell design soon.
But of course, that's after I gain all the weight I lost recently. I feel like a skinny rat... :-/

Answer:
I have two pairs: Kenneth Cole aviators, and a pair of DKNY. I generally can't recommend a particular brand simply because few things actually look good on me. It's hard for me to find a pair I like.

Answer:
I have a a pair of Gucci, and one of Arnette...

Answer:
Wow. Thanks for all the replies guys. What's funny is that since starting this post, I ended up going back to the store and bought a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses. They look simple/boring but boy are they the best quality shades I've ever worn.

Answer:
I wear Fossil, it goes well with one of my watches that is also Fossil, and they are quite affordable.

Answer:
Speaking of flashy, metallic cheeseglasses, I just went to my parent's house and brought back some boxes of my old stuff they had packed away. At the bottom of one of the boxes were a late-80s pair pair of Oakley Frogskins bright-ass metallic red lenses plastic framed Wayfarer wannabes. I may have to wear them to work for a giggle.

They cost over $300 bucks, but worth every penny.
11 layers of polarization is hard to argue with ...


Answer:
I bought a pair of aviator style prescription sunglasses (I'm nearsighted) this year made by Structure and I am very happy with them.

Answer:
I have a few
Steve Maddens (my fav beach wear)
Urban Outfitters (my fav casual wear)
BXBCG
Tommy Hilfiger
Dockers (my fav fashionable/formal wear).
I am not too big on aviator styles. but I do have some that are similar but less rounded...i stick within the $10-$50 range for shades...since there is always a chance to misplace them or break them....

Great lenses as well with some add'l styling options. They are a bit harder to find (not a line Sunglass Hut carries), but are amongst my favorites. The polarization is superb, particularly the Wave 580 lenses. While fishing in Key West, I noticed that the broad majority of fishing charter captains and staff were wearing these lenses. I've also tried a variety of Maui Jim's and like them alot. I prefer both Costa Del Mar and Maui Jim's to Revo, which seem to have taken a hit on quality over the years.
Cheers,
Jim
