here in sunny socal, we wear shades like we wear caps. People notice when u have some cool shades, especially the chicks ;). they might go " hey he has style" or " and he drives a z3!" Well maybe that last part doesnt apply to most of you, but you can still attain coolness with the proper shades! So you have to chose yours carefully, otherwise u might end up looking like an insect! :eek:

i suggest some ralph laurens like these. theyre ideal for spring/summer (rimless season) and theyre different, unlike the typical ones u so often see. I personally own one (meaning theyre the shiznit)

they ARE NOT WOMENS STYLE!!@!!@@!!!! grrrr :mad: Frame Color: BrownFrame Style: RimlessHard caseWomen's style (**** you)Lens width: 58 MmTemple length: 120 Mm

http://www.sunglasshut.com

but dont take my word for it, get out there and try on different pairs of sunglasses; you'll eventually find the pair made for you.

till later, keep on stylin' :cool:

If they cost over fifteen dollars, I aint buying them. I bought a pair for 14 and the flew out of my pocket on the TL1000S and got ran over by a Mack truck. That is too much money to let get crunched.

But I do love a nice looking clone of these nice sun glasses. S13guy, the pair that got ran over looked almost like those you posted. But alot cheaper.

I actually have a regular pair of perscription glasses (not sunglasses) that look almost exactly like those. Except now I wear contacts, so no glasses for me. Although, I will be looking for a stylin' pair of driving glasses soon...

Man, I can't wait for tomorrow's episode! Of course, that's asuming you do this every day.

I know a place that gets fake oakleys for Only $20 They look real and I bought a pair just to see if any one noticed the only guy that said anything was because he looked at them and they werent polarized but said they looked like genuine but just basic oakleys.

I have large wal mart aviator style glasses.

I wonder about you sometimes...

I had a set of Oakley A-wires. They were great...sadly they're lost now. 130 dollars down the tubes.

That's called "photochromatic", also known as Transitions lenses when there's an Rx involved.

I've been thinking about a poll for Sunglasses, b/c I know almost everyone wears some type, whether it's the Wal-Mart 1der specials, or the Hitman's fav Maui Jim's (or has his fav chnaged??).

What's the coolest ones you've seen, even if only in a movie?

hey just bc u wear dull reg. glasses doesnt mean u cant be cool, go to lensecrafters or something and they will be happy to give you those overlapping shade thingies ,making you look ultra hip :). Youll prob say something like " Hey S13guy!, thanks for that style tip on NICO bc now im actually getting dates!! THANK YOU!! YOU OWN MY LIFE S13GUY!! :bowdown "

I only wear sunglasses at work (lifeguard) where it's a necessity. I have two pairs, my $20ish bought-at-ATL-auto-show pair (worn with contacts in). They work really well and have lifetime replacement for like $5. My other pair is prescription, they're blangin out of control, I'll post a pic later.

I've owned 5 pairs of Eye jackets, 1 pair of E wires, 1 pair of A wires, 1 pair of Straght Jackets. But to be honest it is all about Ray Ban Avaitors. I love these damn things.

What ever you do please DO NOT wear them indoor... especially if you go to a club or bar or something..

you may think you are cool because you are wearing shades indoor but you are actually not...

yea, that is the biggest pet peeve of mine...:)

Okay, you've mentioned both Sunglass Hut and LensCrafters, is that because they are the leaders in both fields, or do you have some close ties to Lux?

(Most of the time its just an "I forgot to take them off" kinda thing, I didn't do it on purpose)

no way, it's soo much easier to look at other body parts that way. You don't get dirty looks then!

or when you have a cut on your eye, that **** sucks...

S13GUY - Learn the "house brands" and keep an eye on what they're wearing in the latest movies, people will walk up and ask you "Do you have the ones "insert actor/actress name" was wearing in "insert latest block buster hit"? Knowing the answer will show you're an "expert".
