I took a trip to paris, venice, rome and london and fell in love with euro style. I'm currently in the chicago area so style takes forever to change. Anyway, I really want a super classy pair of sunglasses to wear with a suit or something done up to wear going out. I already have a pair of oakley hackets that are nice for the beach, but I don't have anything for a dress shirt or night on the town. anyway, alot of euro sunglasses are large and in the states large is mostly for girls and my girlfriend says the same, but I think they look good on guys too. any suggestions? Here are some I found in my photos that are cool.

Since it is usually dark at night, I wouldnt worry to much. Sunglasses are one of those things that are entirely personal preference. I have a few pairs of Gucci's that I wear when driving. Whether they are "super classy" or not, I'm not sure.

I am sorry but classy and "sun glasses at night" do not belong in the same sentence.

Personally, I find those sunglasses to be way too trendy and "euro" for my tastes. I certainly would not wear them with a suit. Consider something understated and elegant like Persols, Oliver Peoples, Ray Ban, Serengeti, etc. I have a pair of Oliver Peoples Aero sunglasess with a silver frame and dark grey polarized lens. I also wear Serengeti Da Vinci's. Both are very classy and look great with a suit.

Not sure what "super classy" means, but you cannot go wrong with the Ray-Ban Aviators - classics.

Aviators and Wayfarers are the only sunglasses I find really cool. Also, I'd be wary of "euro" style- the better fashion in Europe tends to be more regional, and that which isn't tends to be the Continental equivalent of the AmJack look here.

+1 on the Serengetis.

Cool, but not ostentatiously so...

Ray Bans or Persols, preferably the latter.
