It's almost summer - show off your sunglasses

I normally opt for sub-10 dollar sunglasses from whatever gas station I'm at- and have done so for years - but thought that this summer I'd splurge and went up a little bit from that and got myself some vintage Persol sunglasses from Italy. I mean, if they're good enough for James Bond they should do me just fine.

Model: 2160 (which took me some time to find as this model is discontinued but it's the model that I find the most appealing (maybe apart from the 2244 but since I don't ever intend to spend three-digits on a pair of sunglasses they're out)

Lenses: Original, amber polarizing.

To a great summer all y'all!

58mm AO eyewear aviators....classic; more about function and durability than flash....

 

I dunno about that...that faux tortoise is rather flashy
Nice looking sunglasses!

 

everyday/ work

weekend/ dress

 

In comparison my sunglasses really screams 'Middle aged man here! Right here!"

 

True, but visible only to those who peek behind my ears....

 

least they scream.

are like the Florida uniform

 

I recently purchased two pairs of 57 mm AO Original Pilot Aviator sunglasses. I opted for the matte chrome frame with the true color gray glass lenses. I drive into the sun to and from work (uphill in both directions ), and these glasses are great! My friends here at The Shave Den recommended them, and I love them.

They also scream middle-aged man, so I especially like the fact that they make me look so much younger.

 

The ones I wear most often are my Decot Custom shooting glasses, with the blue lenses. Pics, when I am at my laptop, because I don't know how to post them from the tablet.

 

I'm rockin'...ray-ban.

 

I wear some cheap Foster Grant's that aren't even worth taking a picture of. I stopped getting expensive sunglasses when I lost a pair of $120 Ray Bans at a music festival.

 

Truck stop cheap sunglasses for this Samurai!

 

WalMart clip-ons. As with Ryan, not worthy of a pic.

 

Ok, I think I figured it out. Here they are;

 

I was expecting something more along these lines

 

Ray-ban Wayfarer while I'm driving, cheap throw aways once I get to where I'm going.

 

Maui Jim's for walking



Oakley's in the car.

 

I tried that...but managed to destroy (sat upon) Native Eyewear (3rd pair at 120/per) in a year. So now, when I head out to meet the masses...I get myself a pair of cheap sunglasses.

Living at 5193ft/msl with 300 days of full sun is rough sometimes...I get a headache from squinting dusk till dawn. Sun is intense here, I won't even wear short sleeves before 6pm or so, even on 100F July days. I imagine in NorCal cloud glare and haze are a real issue when driving. I was in Monterey and San Jose a while back and thought it was super hazy in all lighting conditions, though I drove little.

 

I like side panels (like Oakley) when driving...and in AZ, you have sun like Denver.
