I'm partial to black Ray-Ban Wayfarers. They seem to suit my face. In 20 years I have had 2 pairs of tortoise-shells and one black. Oddly enough, both tortoises were broken by girlfriend or wife.

Sometimes they are completely out of fashion, and sometimes they are the height of style.

Daily beaters (beach, watersports, etc) Maui Jim. For everything else, Persol.

Downing · 24 November 2007, 05:30 AM

I wear prescription sunglasses and have found it's easier just to have a duplicate pair of regular glasses and sunglasses.

Prada

Ray Ban in the sun & Oakley for driving.

I wear a pair of plastic "Wayfarers" style by BodyGlove as my daily beaters. They're pretty dinged up right now. My favorite pair is my RayBan aviators. I'll admit they aren't really in style, but I still like them anyway. Classic

Randolph Engineering 70's pilot glasses. Soon the new 'original' Wayfarer

I still have a pair of those. My wife hates them and calls them my "cop glasses". I keep them in the 4runner with a G-shock and a spare key to my office, for when I am forgetful.

I'd like to pick up a pair of the military issue flight glasses that I wore in the Army. I know I can buy them just about anywhere, but I find it offensive that I must spend $75-100 for glasses that I used to buy at the military clothing sales store for $12.

And also Tag Heuer.

I wear my Maui Jim "Kapalua" Sunglasses with flexible wire sides. They are extremely light and I can wear them all day.

Gaijin · 24 November 2007, 08:46 AM

I have the little plastic red ones witht he pistols on the corners.

Alcan · 24 November 2007, 08:46 AM

I switch from gradient bifocal glasses to the same with polarized lenses. They perform much better than the transition lenses in my last couple of pairs of glasses, especially on the water in the summer.

Lol-x · 24 November 2007, 08:51 AM

Tag Heuer 27 degrees 6007 with photochromatic lenses. They are great in all conditions, but they could be just a touch darker on extremely sunny days when the reflection of car chrome can be a bit annoying.
The arms have pivots instead of hinges. The provide great coverage and also have adjustable length arms.

I've got a pair of R.E.'s, too!

Plus another pair of Ray Ban (big pilot with brown driver's lense).

Plus a pair of Serengeti's from Corning Optics.

Well, I guess I collect sunglasses, as well!

Good to see another Randolph Engineering fan... I've got both Aviators in Amber and my current fav, Crew Chief in polarized gray glass... Excellent quality, warranty and exceptional value in today's fashion-driven eyewear market... Finding polarized, anti-reflective glass lenses is not easy or cheap amongst today's brands.

Those RB's you're wearing look very much like the ones I have, Ashutosh. Brown driver's lense, mirrored.

Letsgodiving · 24 November 2007, 10:26 AM

Oakley's. On my third pair of these. I keep breaking the damn things. Maybe I should try something else.

lardog · 24 November 2007, 10:49 AM

OAKLEY lots of OAKLEY

Mike734 · 24 November 2007, 11:00 AM

Maui Jim's are the best I've ever tried but, alas, I can't wear them to work. They are polarized and are unusable in the cockpit of the Boeing 737 or the MD-80. I fly with Serengeti's.

Sigh... I need some prescription sunglasses. I have some great Ray-Bans but can't wear contacts anymore, so they're not being worn at all. Maybe I need some "transitions" lenses?

But I'm with you, Mireyna - I love eyeglasses.
