Question:
I went shopping yesterday for sunglasses and came to the realization that there are so many brands to choose from. Most of the high-end ones were brands that I've never even heard of. I practically spent 2 hours in the store trying on different styles before making up my mind. I ended up buying a decent pair of Versace sunglasses for a not so decent price. What kind do you all wear?



Answer:
I don't wear sunglasses that often. One reason being, its often not sunny where I live, and I think I have pretty nice eyes so I don't really cover them up too much.
My favorites are Aviators and I think Ray Bans know for making them but theirs Gucci and my favorite Dior Homme as well. Their probably my favorite but I rarely wear them, had a knock-off pair a year ago but they broke.
For some reason I never really liked the Versace sunglasses, I found them a little tacky, with the huge Medusa heads of the sides, too flashy for me to wear. I like more of a classic and simplistic look to sunglasses.

Answer:
I LOVE aviators as well. I've always bought cheap/inexpensive aviator sunglasses usually from the flea market because I have the tendency to lose them or break them. I also agree about Versace glasses. Many of them are too flashy and feminine looking. The reason why I bought these ones is because they are surprisingly simple and lack the Medusa logo heads. The only logo they have is a small Versace name engraved on the sides so you wouldn't even know what brand they are unless you inspect them closely.
Keep it coming folks!


Answer:
I keep a pair of Calvin Klein typically understated sunglasses in the car - which I got last year. My favourite pair are some fairly ancient Emporio Armani sunglasses that I bought on holiday in the Canary Islands back in 1998. Squarish lenses with a nice black and stainless steel frame.

Answer:
I recommend the Persol brand, Oliver Peoples, Randolph, Ray Bans & Serengetti. They make proper lens.
For ultra-coolness, choose matsuda & Jean Paul Gaultier. Giorgio Armani is another good brand.

Answer:
I have a fake pair of Oakleys that cost me $20. I don't ever use them unless I'm at the beach or lifeguarding. I'm pretty used to the sun so I don't need them otherwise.
As for ones you shouldn't wear IMO.... Those bug glasses that girls have now. They look rediculous. They take up half of their face and they are always shiny and dumb looking. They need to go~

You wouldn't need them anyway, as they probably wouldn't provide you with protection from harmfull UV rays.

Answer:
In this area I DEFINATELY prefer classical styling. Ray Bans. Aviators, etc. Oakleys and those crazy sporty shitd worn by MLB outfielders and Nascar drivers look terrible IMO. Utility and avant garde styling hit their peak in 1963, with Antioanni in Fellini's 8 1/2.

anything more "modern" or "high-tech" than this looks AWFUL.

Answer:
3 pairs versace, 1 chanel, 1 prada, 1 ysl
differing shapes and sizes!

Answer:
I agree with Joel on this one, classics are best - in fact almost anything's fine except those goofy wrap-around, chintzy-looking plastic spastic sunglasses that professional fishermen and NASCAR drivers seem to love. Personally, I'd be wearing an updated aviator style this year, if I could wear regular sunglasses. Alas, my eyes betrayed me a few years ago and I wear Rx glasses (I can't stand the thought of sticking my finger in my eyes every morning to wear contact lenses). Maybe later this year or next I will try laser eye surgery and reclaim my sunglass wearing ways.
