Sunglasses!

Can anyone recommend a style for this year? I was after a set of polarized Oakley's, any recommendations?

Also any links to stores/online stores would be great! :)

Thanks.
 
Can't go wrong with these, you'll be the life and soul of the partay!!! :p

it realy gets my goat that I could get a set of custom ocklies for $125 from america
but the UK they are like £150 or more
 
Man, i have black iridium polarised lenses, standards.. but would love some XLJ fire iridium polarised..

if only they wernt £90
 
i have a pair of raybans with prescription lenses, very comfortable and not too sport looking, which i like. Also have oakleys for messing about on holiday and in the park.
 
I have a pair of Oakleys, and personally I dont rate them. They are good sportswear glasses, but for some reason I dont get on with them.

But I also have a pair of Police sunnies, and I have to say they are the best pair I have owned. The lenses have an ideal tint on them, the frame is light and comfortable, and they look nicer than any pair of Oakleys.

Mine, used to have a pair of straight jackets until I sat on them :(, would say these are a lot better than the straight jackets I had but the straights were easier to wear.

edit: Also had a pair of ray ban aviators which I dont like, they just dont cover my eyes at all, when I wear sun glasses I want to know its for a reason (protect eyes) and not just to look cool, imo oakleys are the best around, but if you dont want to fork out for them look at bol

Bol? I googled that and couldnt find anything. Do you mean Bolle? imo I think Oakleys are better than Bolle.
 
I'm on to my 7th pair of Oakleys now...

each time moving up the range.

I've got a black pair of Juliets with polarized black iridium lenses.

I love Oakleys :)

I have a pair of the Oakley Why 3's. They're damn good, if a little pricy. For snowboarding I have a pair of half-jackets.

I'd say it's worth actually going out and trying some on - even if you don't buy them in the shop you'll know what you're after. Even the best shades will make you look like a fool if they don't suit you.
