I need a pair of sunglasses as the sun is starting to come out here in California. I'm 15 and I thought about Wayfarers but I think they're becoming played out... What type of sunglasses should I get?

Why this aversion to the sun? If you just stare at it long enough then you get used to it.

Get some that suit your face, and that you like, don't worry too much about how fashionable they are, so long as they are not totally awful.

For example I really like the full sized aviators, and when they were really fashionable a few years ago I wanted to buy some, however trying them on I found out I look like a dipstick in them, my face is too slim, no full sized aviators for me.
Try a bunch on with a friend who is not too easily impressed by the latest fad and get some classic sunglasses that suit you.

There's no possible way to answer this question. A picture of your face might help a bit, but still won't tell us what you like. Personally I think the only way to buy sunglasses is to go to a shop and try them on until you find ones you like. You can always try to find similar ones cheap online afterwards instead of buying them at retail in the shop...

My suggestion is hit a Sunglass Hut in your local mall and try different frames on. With shades you do get what you pay for. I am partial to my Maui Jim Kahunas but I spend a lot of time outdoors so I want lenses that actually work and not look cool.

Must be a couple of B5 S4 owners. If so, hello from a third.
