It's almost summer -- what shades do you rock?

hansoac · 05-05-2011, 06:40 AM

Me - all depends on the temperature and mood.
If I have some feel good music on, reggae, dave matthews, etc; I will toss the aviators on.
If I am headed to the beach or gym and might have more upbeat rock or rap, the white oakleys can be seen setting on my nose.

Persol or Maui Jim - depends on the occasion

Ray-Ban aviators or a pair of Wayfarers depending on how I feel.

Oakley Flak Jackets. Prescription for driving and daily use, Non-prescription for reading by the pool or beach.

PapoZalsa · 05-05-2011, 07:39 AM

Prescription transition lenses or the $10 special ones when I wear the contacts.

Why spent that much money for a pair of sunglasses?

Baller?

I was against the expensive pair as well. However I was on a trip to Hawaii with my brothers when I saw the white oakley's...had to get them...but i spent the money only because it has a deeper meaning than just a pair of sunglasses to me.
Regardless of what shades you have, it's hard not to look like a BA when you are driving a car that looks like its speeding even when its parked.

I used to wear Oakleys all the time when I was younger. I'll still rock a pair every now and then, but I really love my Ray-Bans.

hansoac · 05-05-2011, 07:52 AM

Stang, I thought about picking up a pair of Ray Bans. What makes you a fan of the ray bans over the oaks? Quality, lens clarity, aesthetics?

m4a1mustang · 05-05-2011, 07:58 AM

The quality is great and they are a classic brand. They aren't really that expensive, either. Mainly, though, I think they are a little more grown up than the average Oakley and are better at blending a classic and sporty look.

I have three pairs in my car... my aviators, my wayfarers, and a pair of Pradas. I think my Oakley wire frames are somewhere at home. I still like them, though. But if I could only have one pair it would be my RB aviators.

This.

hansoac · 05-05-2011, 08:40 AM

Hmm..just did some searching...I am liking these Ray Band Aviators..now to justify the 100$ on them rather than putting it towards my Stillen G3 CAI...

ClemsonWill · 05-05-2011, 08:44 AM

Depending on what I'm doing I wear:

Kaenon Jetty -Seaweed (most comfortable pair of sunglasses I have owned in a while)

Costa Del Mar Riomar - Tort w/ green lenses (wave 580 glass)

Ray Ban Classic Aviators - Silver Polarized

Costa Del Mar Rincon - black (My least favorite. If anyone is interested I'm willing to sell them or trade for some Ray Ban Wayfarers)
