With the infernal heat and blinding sunshine that the summer has brought. I want some new sunglasses. I have some Tom Ford aviators which for some reason I can't get the pic to upload. My aesthetic is sort of beach/bohemian/Italian/hoochie daddy/heathen. Nothing too pricey. I'm broke. Thanks Gaf!

 

[MilkyJoe]

Irish sunglasses?

 

[Ammogeddon]

Well you can’t be from the UK as we don’t have sunshine and heat here.

Goodr are quite decent affordable shades.

Warby Parker has a lot of styles that are affordable, if there is one near you it's easy to go check it out. If you're not cool enough to wear Pit Vipers, of course.

I consider those glasses under the "Heathen" category because they are so ugly.

These would be cyberpunk:

This reminds me it's time to go to Walmart and pick up a new pair of sunglasses to slip over my prescription glasses.

 

[BigDeadFreak]

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Shady rays. They even offered free replacements

 

[Ownage]

Tom Ford Wayfarers, whatever they're called. I have three pair and they're very robust. Highly recommended.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Great quality and fairly inexpensive.

Like anything in life, you get what you pay for. I know you said you want to go cheap, but think of it as an investment. You won't need to buy another pair for years and years.

The absolute best sunglasses I've owned and still do are Oliver Peoples R-3 . They're expensive at £425, but if you want the classic Italian looks with a well made pair that'll last you years, then look no further than these beauties.

They have more designs and colours, but I have the above ones and I love them.

I want to stay around $350 if possible. Those look really nice. I like them.

There’s only one answer and you know what it is. Rayban Wayfarers. Everything else is bullshit. When I see people who aren’t wearing Wayfarers I wonder what went wrong in their lives. What horrible tragedy was it that reduced them to wearing subpar, unacceptable bullshit. It’s sad. I feel sad for them. I’ve actually been thinking about starting a shelter for hawt college chicks who don’t have Raybans. They could come and live in my specially built dorm where they could get naked and have pillow fights sponsored by Rayban.

Sunglasses are for pussies. You man the fuck up and stare the fucking sun right in its face and stare it down.

Raybans are the vanilla sunglasses. Run of the mill. Average in quality and design. The basic bitch of sunglasses.

Real alphas with style and class buy Oilver Peoples or Persol.

I'm partial to Maui Jims. They're not cheap but lenses and build quality are great.

Tell yourself whatever it takes to get through the night, but deep down you know there is only one and that’s Rayban. Everything else is subpar, including your bullshit Succession wannabes

Actually try lots of styles at a sunglasses retailer until you get some sense of what suits you specifically, then buy similar online.

 

[Jorav]

I know you mentioned you're on a budget but it pays to look after your eyes. Minimum polarised. I enjoy my Maui Jims but they're not cheap. There's an obvious difference in clarity between cheap and good sunglasses. I've never lost a pair of sunglasses or damaged any, so i think about it being a long term investment

Don't buy from the Luxottica mafia.

They own pretty every designer brand of glasses.
