    Which ones do you think are the best?

    (regardless of whether they are "smart" - I just mean, which ones look most stylish/badass)

    I think I currently like the Ray-Ban Clubmaster. Bought them as an "add-on" when I bought my second pair of Ray-Ban Metas (both Wayfarers, one however with the transition glasses, so I can use them indoors).

    You can never go wrong with wayfarers.

    I break and scratch any sunglasses I buy so I stick to polarized knock offs on Amazon.

    I had some RayBan Metas but the short video length (1 minute) and the lack of live pictures killed them for me so I took them back. I also didn’t love the color selection.

    You have too much expendable income. Buy some Versaces and then donate to JumpMan.

    Yeah I bought some for tennis on Amazon for $ 25. I'm not really into fashion and wouldn't spend on extravagant clothes, and obviously no jewelry, but I like the look of some sunglasses. And I live in the sunshine state, so... :)

    I sort of like having a big collection of sunglasses, but time and time again I always come back to Wayfarers. They are the most timeless and comfortable sunglasses I think you can wear. I actually enjoy both the original and new lines as well.

    I have a couple similar to these. Same brand, slightly less bulky, but same color palette and features. I think it was an "old" model that they were clearancing out. Got them for $3 each.

    I never spent money on sunglasses, because I kept losing them somehow. Then, I decided to buy Raybans cause I was like, well I'm not going to lose these.

    I ended up losing the Raybans.

    Since then, I'm back to buying cheap sunglasses.

    I have a couple pairs of Costas. But recently got a pair of Blenders that I really like. Relatively cheap and very high quality

    This was my go-to for years, because I am hell on sunglasses (scratching, breaking, etc), until I was at an eye-doctor couple of years ago.

    He straight up said you cannot trust those, you never know what you're getting (as far as eye protection).

    So I switched to the J + S ones I mentioned earlier, that he recommended.

    ****, I wear fake Oakleys from Cancun. Guessing they don’t hold up to eye protection standards.
