What sunglasses are you sporting?

I just received my early Christmas present to myself. A pair of the folding Persol sunglasses I've been hankering after, like the ones that Steve McQueen used to wear. (Not the blue lensed ones in The Thomas Crown Affair, the graduated brown lenses he wore in real life.) I really like them and so does SWMBO, who is eyeing them off like they may soon become hers...

What are your favourite sunglasses? I know it is winter for a lot of you, but maybe we can enable while they are still on sale in the shops.

I have a pair of Oakley Oil Rig's, I am extremely picky about the fit of sunglasses and these fit me very well.

A pair of Body Glove black nylon framed brown tinted lenses and a pair of Serengeti Berkeley Sunglasses. I have a pair of Wayfarers as back up.

been using these Prada glasses I picked up in the Miami airport on the way to Jamaica. I forgot my usuals (I have ray bans and some D&G)

Is that when you are in the real world, or when you are in the Matrix?

I go for the classic look....

Ray Ban Aviators, gold frame, G15 lens, and a "Frankie" fedora from Hats in the Belfry

Ray Ban Wayfarers

These are the sunglasses I was issued for deployment:

LOL! I've got a bad head for sunglasses and this is the only style which looks normal on me. (Phew, dodged that bullet!)

Rayban Wayfarer's for me.

Ray Ban Aviators Black frame and G-15 Lens polarized. I like them very much! They fit me well and and i like the quality of the made...

i have 3 pairs of the same ones.... i lost my oakley batwings last week while on the motorcycle.... *(painful story)... the batwing was the only other style that fit me as good as the oilrigs..

I nearly went for them ( outdoorsman?) but they got rejected by the committee. Too HST. Not that that is a bad thing, IMO.

I have very fair blue eyes, so quality polarized sunglasses are a must for me (I'm 44 years old and still don't need corrective lenses, and want to keep it that way by minimizing as much strain as possible). I've been a loyal Ray-Ban customer for years, usually opting for an aviator style frame that provides more coverage than a lot of the more modern styles. Recently, I tried on a pair of Bolle' polycarbonate lensed aviators and really liked the comfort as opposed to a large glass Ray-Ban lens. Here is what I went with--the Bolle' Madison aviator (pic stolen from Amazon).

Vintage Vuarnet lately.

I used to love that yellow lens in the black cat-eye nylon frame back in the day.

I received these for Christmas last year.

Before these I had the Oakley Over the tops cause I can't stand pressure on my temples at all, but I got tired of people gawking at me, not to mention I sold them for nearly double what I paid for them

I didn't think there was any reason to wear the Over the Tops, except to have people gawk at you.
