Casual Sunglasses

[SulaiNeill]

My eyes are more sensitive to light that most and dry enough that a slight breeze causes tears to stream down my face. Because of this I wear sunglasses almost everyday, especially on my morning commute. I have 2 pairs of "go to" shades, my Ray-Ban New Wayfarers (black frame w/ blue lenses) and my Lowercase NYC x American Trench Hudsons (smoke grey frame and lenses). What are your go to brands, styles, shapes for casual sunglasses and what is the price range you are looking for?

My go-to glasses are Maui Jims. Luxotica owns most of the major brands and the quality just doesn't match the price points. I like the frameless rims of the Maui Jims - they're comfortable to wear for a long time and I like being able to get different type of lens (I prefer their rose lenses). For driving, I have a pair of Serengheti glasses in the car. They're great contrast glasses - better for driving than the typical dark glasses and yet still polarized. I have to get another pair for my wife's car - I actually have a pair of dark lens Maui's in there and I really hate driving with that type of lens (fine as a passenger but not as much as a driver).

You should wear mirror-coated sunglasses.
Mirror sunglasses is suitable to sensitive eye since it block further 30-50% amount of light to compare with regular sunglasses.

Second on the Maui Jims. I ignored them for a long time as I used to go to Maui a lot as a kid w/ my folks and always viewed them as old man sunglasses.

I picked up a pair last year and they are so much better than my Ray Bans / Prada / whatever other gunglasses I have. And they are modernized and attractive now.

The vision quality is almost on par w/ high-end shooting glasses like Pilla (almost, but not quite)
