    I've got a pair of oakleys I bought a coupla years ago.

    Never understood at the time why someone would pay ~100 or more for a pair of sunglasses...

    Now I do. They are amazing, and I love them. I have been trying to get some spare cash together to buy another pair, but have not managed it yet.
  • J.) I wear my sunglasses at night; So I can, so I can...

    Honestly, I have some sorta wierd thing in my eyes so sunlight really doesn't hurt me (which is bad, cause I can burn out my retinas). Anywho, I haven't had a pair of sunglasses for decades. I'd need a prescription pair, and I ain't forkin out the dough for a pair of those.
    • Back to work!! Those that abandon keeping me company on IM just cause of those pesky company policies had best be doing something productive ^_~

      No offense, Em *^_^*

      Also, for the record, I look great in cheapo drug store sungalsses.

        Sweetie, you look great in anything.... or nothing, as the case may be. ;-)
  • I have a seperate pair of glasses with tinted lenses. Prescription sunglasses cost loads...
  • Ray Ban Aviators with Rx lenses. I think they need to be replaced next year because of fading.

    My faves when I used to wear contacts were Vuarnet skiing glasses. Extra blue wavelength blockers, less darkness right in the center. Helped to cut down on snow/ice glare.
  • Call it "B) of the el cheapo walmart variety", and you've nailed it dead center.

    They're actually the first pair of comfortable sunglasses I've ever found. Only cost me $4 something...
    • Call it "B) of the el cheapo walmart variety", and you've nailed it dead center.

      Mine were off the spinning thing @ Wally World, but the price was probably closer to $20. I'll only buy polarized sunglasses...they cut road/window glare like nobody's business, while not darkening things much or changing colors at all. Dark-tinted and "blue-blocker" glasses suck.

  • I have a decent pair of Oakley knock-offs that look good on me. I'm planning on getting some Oakleys at some point in the future, but I can't find the pair I want anywhere.
  • This is actually one of my new toys this year. I used to clip some cheap sunglasses onto my regular glasses, but then I somehow lost them, about 6 months ago. I replaced them with cheap polarized clipons. You should have seen me, a grown man, oohing and tilting my head this way and that, looking at everything through a polarized filter for the first time. It's like magic! After all these months, it still entertains me to tilt my head and watch a scene's reflections change.

  • I got matching clip-on sunglasses with my last pair of glasses, the frames for which were not cheap. Since switching back to contacts, though, I've dusted off an old pair of Fossil shades that were priced somewhere between Wal-Mart and Oakley.

    I have a pair of Fossil sunglasses (prescription, and made of some space-age ultralight super duper scratchproof plastic stuff, ergo C) that I am constantly misplacing.

    I'm a terrible judge of what makes me look good, though. At least I don't think I look like a complete dork in them.

    However, I can safely say that I don't look like someone that Trinity would be wrapping her legs around or what have you. With or without sunglasses.

    I do, however, seem to attract retirees named Edna a lot.

    Cheers,

  • I have had these cat's eye sunglasses since high school. I broke the first pair before them and looked all over to find another pair just like them. I almost lost them this winter but luckily I found them burried in the snow in the parking lot inches from tires a week after I lost them, still in perfect condition.
  • Because I always pick B. Wal-Mart, actually.

    Also D. That's why I have 4 of B.
  • Fitted when I had the lens prescription made up at the opticians. On a sunny day they are almost black to onlookers. Very cool! :-)

    I bought mine in Norway when I went snowboarding, and realised that some would be really handy. Picked up a pair that fit from the shack at the bottom of the hill. Not gas station cheap, but far from expensive either. They have a brand name, but I'm buggered if I can remember it.
  • They're super hype, def triff, and purchased for my first trip to Hawaii. My wife found a SUPER ULTRA deal on line, however hers didn't arrive until RIGHT after our plane left! ha ha!

    Don't worry- she got to use them this past year in the land of volcanos.
  • I never used to wear sunglasses, but I got given these a couple of years back. I could never find sunglasses that I thought looked good on me, so I always went without. I now appreciate the value of a good pair of sunglasses, especially when it is bright and sunny and I am decidedly not...
  • But only because they are my eye glasses, they tint in sunlight, which is might convineant for a guy like me who constantly loses sunglasses when I take them off (and that ain't funny at a hundred odd a pop for prescription ones).
  • I had a pair of Gargoyles at one time that kicked ass. Got some Ray Bans that look goofy on me, or I look Goofy wearing them.

    Lately I just get something in the $15 to $30 range and leave a pair in each vehicle I drive.

    My current sunglasses are polarized (which kicks ass) but every time I look at my cell phone the LCD is all distorted and wavy. Can anybody explain why that happens?
