To me there's only one kind. Ray-Ban Aviators - the original. There's a reason pilots and police men use them and not just the protection, immediate look of authority.
Stay away from the Wayfarers though or you'll be pegged immediately for a hipster.
word. when you're shopping for fashion (not getting sweats or socks or whatever) don't go with trendy shit. focus on the classic shit that's been around.
trendy stuff changes, and staying up to date with the newest fancy shit is a woman's job.
ray ban aviators look hard. the kanye plastic fisher price glasses are only gonna last for a little while.
The Wayfarer IS classic shit. That design goes back to the 1950s.

Seriously, $15 pair of gunmetal black aviators with purple lenses from Target. Expensive glasses are really nice, and look good but the right man can make even cheap ones look swag as fuck. Save your money.

Persols are pimp, my cousins an optometrist so I get glasses at cost I'm loaded up on raybans and persols, for style price and performance(as long as you're getting polarized) you can't beat these 2 companies.
Maui Jims may be the best lenses on the market for sunglasses according to my cousin but they're sports frames or fishing frames, or old man frames, I wouldn't want to rock their styling for daily wear.

Rayban new wayfarers. Rayban medium aviators.
I am becoming nearsighted, so I popped the lenses of the wayfarers out and had transitions put in.
Tom Cruise has been wearing a lot of Persol in his latest movies. I noticed them in Knight and Day and the latest MI.

This site never ceases to amaze me, the Persols are the king of sunglasses. I have a sunglass hut connection and hope to pick up a pair in a few weeks. I hardly see anyone wearing them, for most guys Raybans is a big deal.
James Bond rocks them, so that must say alot.
How do you guys feel about the Tom Ford stuff?

The shades Bond rocked in "Quantum of Solace" were Tom Fords, and yes, they were hot.

Tom fords are just just cheap frames with a designer label. Wouldnt waste my money on them.
46 said it all about Persols. The arrow is timeless and classic, with quality to match at a price that is extremely reasonable considering people are paying the same for gucci, d&g,prada shit which would be walmart brand 10 dollar sunglasses off the rack if the name came off the side, there is no quality to the frames nothing else of value that adds price beyond that and if youre buying garbage on a name then youre crazy.

all depends on your face shape. I have aviators, but sometimes they look a bit off on me.
I usually rock a pair of Carrera sunglasses. Also have a pair of Barton Pererrias which are awesome and a pair of Von Zipper "Stache". I've had several different colors of the Stache over the years but they look good on me.

I wear a lot of gold jewellry...probably to the point where most of you would say why the hell do you have so much gold. I imagine those LV sunglasses would be a nice complement but I have no idea how they would fit my face. I live in Canada 7 months a year and Cuba 5 months a year and I have never seen them in either place.
