What shades have you got?

DarkShadow · 11 May 2008 at 22:47

As thread title, looking to buy my first pair and I'd like some suggestions.

What brands have good quality shades? They'll mainly be used for driving and when I'm out.

I'm not looking to spend a fortune.

I've seen quite a few brand, I quite like these two:

Armani:

Bolle:

£15 on ebay, they've got to be fake?

Polarised for driving. Can I be the first person to suggest Oakleys?

Budget?

Ideally I want to stick around £60-70

I'm going to go in-store and try some on, see what goes with my face/style then search online for cheaper options if they're out of my budget

Just looking for a few ideas and brands to look at.

Oakley Crosshair. I bought them for flying and haven't worn them otherwise since they make me look like an absolute prat. Great for flying/driving though.

None at the moment, I left them at work on Friday night and most likely they've been had by some ***** **** by now.

Jasper Conran, they're prescription ones from the opticians. Would love a pair of Oakley's but they're a bit too expensive for my taste.

I saw some nice ones in Debenhams yesterday, might go get a pair next time i'm in!

oakley five 3.0 - picked them up with a £15 quid discount and use them for cycling and general use anywhere since they aren't worth much compared to other oakleys.

Nice light aswell so no issue if I drop them while out on the bike

I have these Police S8012 shades, feel a bit conned that they are found online for £70 but I paid £100. Not as good as far as visibility goes as my previous RayBans but hey, they look betterNo hotlinking

Primark. Why spend so much on something thats so easy to loose or misplace or sit on and break?

Then again maybe thats just me!

I'm not cool enough for shades.
