I need a recommendation for a pair of sunglasses

[Shyguy]

Hi guys, I have had a pair of Rayban Predators for about six months now. It broke and I'm tempted to use the warranty from SGH to buy a second pair for 50% off, but some people think this pair of sunglasses doesn't look very good on me. I don't know, what do you guys think? If it's not worth getting a second pair, what do you guys suggest I should get?

I like Oliver Peoples sunglasses...

Aviators are overdone - everyone has a pair, and they won't help you stand out.

what makes you think he wants to stand out? aviators are a classic style that will last forever, unlike so many stupid modern designs.
drifters are cool too.

he'd look horrible in aviators. A pair of thin, wireframe glasses from Persol wouldn't be a bad way to go.

You might benefit from a pair in a similar size that are a little more angular. Your face has a lot of curves, and the angled glasses would offset that, rather than accentuate it, as these do.

Last time I bought a pair I went to http://www.klasik.org for some vintage frames - 1960's Ray-Ban Caribbean by Bausch & Lomb. Could be worth taking a look if want something a bit different.

What do you mean by this? I need an example of this.

What do you guys think about this pair of sunglasses? Will it look good on me?

I've also been told to try out the Rayban Shields, but I can't find a polarized option for it.

Nice, I have those or a really similar pair. They look good on almost everyone. I think the first pic looks all right, but that style of glasses is kind of dated IMO - reminds me of Terminator 2 or something. Those Persols on the other hand will never go out of style. You should go try some on, Sunglass hut has them among other places.

Edit: oh, I guess that's probably what SGH stood for.

Do they even sell these anymore? Mine weigh a ton so I don't wear them. They are so heavy that they either cut into my nose or slip down it. I should sell them or something.
