I really like the raybans posted by agdci, but I UofL made a good point of lifeguarding probably not being the best place, and could cause them to break/scratch, so Im thinking of getting a pair but also getting a cheap pair of some other shades to use while life guarding. Need to get some nice shades anyway.

Only thin is I have a slightly wider head than most people, so I will probably have to go to a sunglasses hut to try on the raybans and see how they fit.

Being a lifeguard is one of the only acceptable reasons to have croakies.

Being a pro golfer is another.

That's about all I can think of. Do not wear them socially lol

I like those raybans though

The problem with them is that they aren't easy to just slip on and off your sunglasses so they're always on my sunglasses.

I do golf and I was a frat douche so your stereotype still holds.

I am looking for a pair of shoes for every day use, not trainers/sneakers/whatever you call them where you live.

Any suggestions?

+1 to any Ray Ban sunglasses. It amazes me how people won't spend $100 for a pair of nice sunglasses. Sunglasses don't wear out like clothing, and your eyes are really ****ing important.

This, from a guy that claims to not waste his time watching stupid YouTube videos?

Credibility, shot.

Without trying to derail the thread further, I am watching YouTube videos, but most of them are informative of some sort, I watch maybe 1 "funny" video per day, that's what I was mostly referring to.

This is not a stupid video for obvious reasons.

In that case, you'll surely love this video about how to put on a shirt!

No way on earth watching a TED talk can ever be considered a waste of time.

I kinda forgot about this, but the shoes I've been wearing pretty much suck, so I do need to buy a new pair soon. FMO, why do you say that neither of these shoes go with jeans? I feel like the second pair might be a stretch, but unless my memory sucks, it seems like I see a lot of guys wearing shoes similar to pair 1 with jeans.

Post some shoes itt that are dressy and can go with either jeans or with black slacks. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

Everyone in Europe, I recommend Loake 1880s. Biggest bang for the buck.

gcg, i'm not sure why i don't like that and i'm sure some people think they look good. i think these would look better (at least with jeans, but would also be fine with slacks)

fwiw, there's are a couple of dudes in Malaysia selling raybans for $30-50 on eBay. every day there's like a million models for sale. for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/RayBans-Aviators...item3a672e66ec

common sense tells me these are fake because they are from Malaysia and cost $50. they probably are, but the glasses and packaging looks so legit they might actually somehow be real. a friend of mine bought a "real" pair soon after i got mine and we compared the two. lo and behold, everything was EXACTLY the same, down to the placement of stickers and instruction manual. really weird.

anyway, i got mine for $40 or so. thought i'd just throw it out there.
