SUNGLASSES: What brand do you wear and how often?

With the summer rays bearing down, its a favored time to wear sunglasses.
I wear them frequently. Have several pairs of Maui Jim's... expensive but nice and I take care of them. Have some inexpensive glasses if I'm working outdoors and probably still have some Ray Bans someplace.

I have friends that buy expensive glasses with UV protection, some buy cheap ones since they get busted up or lost. What do you wear... whats the best ones this year?

I still wear my Foster Grants. I used to work at a sunglass shop and I was amazed at the amount of people who would drop any amount of money for the latest fad. Even working there, I still could not believe people would pay over $500 for a pair of sunglasses.

Well HK I am a Ray Bans guy. I have to wear small sunglasses....usually wire rimmed...pretty traditional. The big over sized frames don't work with me (I think that craze is over and not a moment too soon!). I use sunglasses primarily when driving or on the beach, but not walking around or playing tennis.

I tend to lose sunglasses pretty easily so I try not to invest too much and like you I keep some inexpensive pairs around.

I probably should be wearing them more being a Floridian..but I do not.

I dislike sunglasses. There's already enough bullshit to look through to get a clear picture of things. Sunglasses get in my way.

Revo - when I'm driving near sunset, reading at the beach, or fishing on the ocean.

I have Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Oakley, RayBan, and Louis Vuitton. Depends on what I'm doing or going. I admit, I do like to collect sunglasses and watches...and I take care of them.

I get the cheap ones you can buy at the mall kiosks that are like two for $20. I tend to lose, damage and break them.

Oh, honey. I fit your face much better.

Edit: mine are Ray Bans - Aviators (prescription because I am a "sexy" nerd)

I have some Smiths and Oakleys. Mainly wear them if I am out in the sun. Since I live in Seattle, that translates into "rarely."

For Driving I have a nice pair of Armani's-they were a gift. For the beach anything decent with uva uvb protection, because I have a habit of losing, destroying or giving my sunglasses away. I had a nice pair of Revo's but I have no idea what happened to them?

I used to buy oakley and rayban but now I just buy the cheap ones...as long as they are polarized. Polarized lenses are great on the water and for driving, nothing beats their glare reduction. I wear them every-time I go outside in sunlight. When my eyes self-corrected to 20/20 my eye doc said to always wear sunglasses. Since I have light-colored blues eyes, she said they were more susceptible to sunlight and retina damage.

Under Armour Adrenaline and Impulse. Whenever the sun is out.

ive never worn sunglasses and dont find them appealing

I have a pair of Ray Ban aviators. Never thought aviators would suit me, but they do.

Eye care is important to me; Ive had sunglasses since I was about 11. I find glare irritating so I wear mine even on overcast days.

If you lived in Southern California (or anywhere with this much sunlight), you would wear them.

I know they look douchey... but they really are a requirement.
Jul 04, 2009 8:24 AM GMT
Aviators all the way. but I loose and break sunglasses so fast that I just tend to buy the cheaper ones from target and such.

I'm rockin Fossil sunglasses. Got them on clearance for $50. They look similar to military style pilot sunglasses. But they're pretty old now and the lenses are a little scratched up. I think my next pair of sunglasses will be Oakleys.
