Bought these over 10 years ago and still in like-new condition. Best $200 I've ever spent. Nearly had a disaster when they got knocked off my face riding a jet ski on the ICW...jumped off and managed to grab them before they sank too far.
I have Ray Ban Wayfarers (below). I think I have some cheaper convenience store ones laying around still for times that I'm doing something that may endanger my shades.
These were actually a groomsman gift that I got from a friend who's wedding I was in. Not sure what he paid for them.
I used to have Oakley Bottlecaps. I've had a couple pairs of those in the past. My first pair met an untimely end when I left them on a black futon (they were also black) in a friends room when I was at UNC. I lost the second pair I got in the ocean (thus the reason for the cheaper fill-ins when needed now).http://www.ray-ban.com/usa/sunglasses/RB2132 UNISEX 047-new wayfarer classic-black/805289048527

Oakley Jupiter. Bought 'em in December of 2011 and I still have them. Probably spent $240 on them. Well, well worth the investment. Comfortable. Fit my face well....which is difficult when you have a schnoz as big as mine, durable, and...most importantly....they do a good job of blocking the sun.
They're non-polarized because polarized lenses suck for snow skiing, which I used to do quite a bit.

(Apologies if they're not a thing up North. Everyone has those in the South though. It's the "classic" look)

They're the classic look here as well, and pretty popular. I didn't think I really explained what they are though. I mentioned the brand/model and put a picture of them below.
Are the grass fed, certified organic sunglasses?
Actually, I'm not allowed to have nice things. My sunglasses cost $20. I also have a few pairs of the crappy ones they give you for "free" when you get an eye exam, all of which are too big for my face. I wear those when I'm welding.
I have ones similar to @Hark_The_Sound_2010, they are Ray-Ban, but I have no idea the cost or the model because someone left them in my sister's office, she asked if I wanted them, and I took them. So those are the sunglasses I wear now.
I wear a pair of these that were a gift, which I've managed to hang onto for quite a while. Polarized, because that helps on rare occasion that I actually get out on the water. The tortoise shell look is far less obvious in person than it is in the image.
I also have at least half a dozen pairs of cheap sunglasses stashed in the house, the car, my wife's car, and my office because I cannot go outside without sunglasses if there is even a hint of sun or glare. I'll have a headache inside of five minutes from squinting.

Costa and Maui Jim for me. Best imo
What is this, Wingdings?

I thought you were trying to say "Pay me, bitch" but I couldn't find the dog in the last picture.

I did not know they were called that. I've always referred to that style as the Risky Business style. And for the longest time I didn't know Aviator style was called "Aviator style". I always referred to them as the Top Gun style.
I buy $20 sunglasses as Bass Pro Shop whenever I pass by one. I go through a couple pairs a year.
Costa Del Mar. I'm not sure what model. Also, I'm not sure what I paid. One of my golf buddies is an optometrist and he gave me a good deal. Best sunglasses I've ever had.

Those are nice. I know tons a chicks that wear that style.
Don't you have some windows you should be peeping in or something?
Your wife looks nice today.
Ah, yes, the "why isn't my son a starter" sunglasses.Bought these over 10 years ago and still in like-new condition. Best $200 I've ever spent. Nearly had a disaster when they got knocked off my face riding a jet ski on the ICW...jumped off and managed to grab them before they sank too far.
Not even joking here. That's really what I thought he was saying.
Ah, gotcha. Let me further your education. Just FYI, it's referred to as "doggie style," not That Position My Wife Won't Let Me Do To Her.
See, in 2016, that might have been funnier. But this year, it's just kind of "meh".

I think there are His & His (I mean Her) options available:
I have 3 pairs of sunglasses-
My daily ones are Randolph Aviators- same ones given to Naval and Air Force pilots. I got them because they are NOT polarized, because polarized glasses suck unless you are on the water as they make it difficult to read a digital display. They are also glass lenses, which is nice.
I also have a pair of Oakley Half Jackets that have changeable lenses. I use these when running, playing golf, hiking, fishing or at the beach. I have about 4 different sets of lenses for varying light conditions.
Finally I have a knockaround pair of Sunclouds that I wear when mowing the grass, working in the yard, screwing around, etc and I don't care if lenses get scratched.
