sunglasses
 

We all said sunglasses were definitel a sorority girls necessities, but no one said there favorites. I have a pair of Coach sunglasses that I absolutely love. What are your favorite brands?

I'm a strong believer in the inverse law of sunglasses: The more I spend on them the faster I will loose or break them. Seriously, it never fails. Brand new pair of ridiculously expensive Revo's... Lost them in a week. Pair I bought from a beach vendor in Mexico... Still had them a couple of years later.

On that note, my current sunglasses are Mossimo from Target. I think they're darn cute and they were only $20.

Gotta love Target!!!!!:p

I never pay more than $10 for sunglasses because I lose and/or break them constantly. I buy 3 pairs at a time because I know they won't last long.

Right now I have 3 pairs of sunglasses...and they each have a function.

I love my Bolles because of its polarized lenses. I use em all the time whenever I'm at the beach. The lenses keep the glares away!

Then there's my Ralph Laurens. I tend to use those whenever I'm dressed classier.

Then I have my Angels. Those are my casual every day ones.

Of the three, I have to say that the Ralphs are my favorite!

guys wear sunglasses too...

i have black emporio armani sunglasses. they rock. i get great eye protection, and they are the perfect style for san diego.

I have the same philosophy as 33girl. Right now I'm sporting a pair of black framed glasses that cost a total of $3. I've had them since February. Before them, I had an identical pair that also cost $3 and I had them for a few years.

I had a great pair of Dolce and Gabanna knockoffs that I got in NYC and I lost them :(

My boyfriend lost his Oakleys less than a year after getting them. I got him some Faux-kleys in NYC and he kept them for a few years - until they broke. His parents never noticed that the $100+ sunglasses they bought him were gone :)

I have a pair of BCBG sunglasses that I got for $30 through bluefly.com! They are black wrap arounds and they look like movie star sunglasses. I adore the coach sunglasses and the kate spade sunglasses but I can't justify buying another pair when these are still going strong.

Not a sorority girl, but my two favorite pairs of sunglasses are from DKNY and Ralph. :)

I have a pair of Oakleys that are great! Once, Brandon accidently sat on them and I yelled at him cause it appeared that he broke of the arms of them-- only when I looked closely I found out they could snap right back on! The $ I spent on these glasses were totally worth it.

I can't spend a lot of money on sunglasses because somehow I always end up breaking them! The pair that I have now have actually lasted me a couple of months and I only spent $15 on them. Figures, if I had spent more I would have sat on them on the first day.

Wow, how funny to know I'm not the only one who experiences the "inverse law of sunglasses". :) I have two pairs right now - cat-shaped tortoise shell ones from Target, and a 70s inspired pair with pink lenses and no frame from Limited (I love those - I always feel like a spoiled movie or rock star when I wear them.) I think both pairs were around $15, and of course they've lasted for months and months.

I, too, tend to loose my sunglasses, so I almost never pay more than $15. I just bought a pair from Wet Seal for $10 that are amazing! Everyone thinks they are designer. :cool:

I used to lose sunglasses all the time, but now my favorite pair of black Ralph that ive had for 7 months! they are definitley the favorite pair ive ever had!

Not a sorority girl yet, yet I have my fav sunglasses

Oakley's all the way *nod* I have 3 pairs, a pair of snowgoggles, a pair for sports (M-Frames, they're wraparound), and my fav pair is my silver TopCoats, they make me look like an alien, but gawd..they kick ass. Those cheap ones I always lose, but when I get a an expensive pair I take more care of them it seems, hehe

Ah, so THAT'S where my twin went! :) I refuse to spend more than $10 on a pair of sunglasses because I can't keep them for more than six months. Even my cheap ones.

I have a small head, and adult-size sunglasses don't fit me properly. I have found that the absolute best place to buy sunglasses is the Limited Too. They're about $10 a pair and they are soooo cute and they fit great!

I suffer from the inverse rule too -- actually, even when they are cheap I lose them. I go thru 3-4 pairs a year, so I stick w Target's Mossimo glasses and I love them.

I must be in the minority here...
 

Just call me "Blind Lil Snakey K"

I have to be extraordinarily careful with my sunglasses because they are prescription and I can't see well enough to drive without them.

My favorite are the Revos I just got for Christmas. I love the polarized lenses. I can wear them all the time, even when driving in the rain cause they cut the glare.

Wow, I didnt realize Target had cute sunglasses. Im gonna have to go check it out cause I too lose many sunglasses, especially being out here in AZ where we are always at the pool. I try to only wear my expensive ones to school or outside events that you dress nice for.

So I am reviving this post...and yes class, I used search :)

I can't find a pair of decent looking sunglasses for my face for the life of me. The single pair I had that actually looked good for my facial features I bought near a flea market. They were "Frada"- Prada knock offs (costing me a pretty penny at $15!!!) and ultimately were broken by the mean, savage airport men searching my carry-on. Because, yes I deserved all of my items thrown out onto a table for all the world to see... Thank you.

So, I need suggestions on quality, brand, shape, etc. I have tried and tried different brands, but I break them, lose them, or they just look plain dumb.

I completely agree. I have a pair of Dolce's, but I barely wear them because I am so scared to break them/scratch them.

I have a pair from Forever21 that I wear everyday... They were FOUR bucks. I've gone through probably 3 pairs of sunglasses in the past year from Forever21 because I lose them! One pair I actually sat on when I was on the beach. Oops.

I have a pair of Chanel glasses, I got them on E bay... so they weren't full price... but still pricey... I've had them almost a year now, so I'm VERY proud of myself. :D


I also have a pair of Ralph Lauren glasses that were on sale at Macy's for like 25 that I wear when there is a possibility of losing my others. :cool:

Glitter- How reliable is ebay when it comes to having "real" designer things? I am always worried when I find things on there from Chanel, Gucci, etc. that they will be fake.

OMG I can't keep a pair of sunglasses to save my life. BUT I got a cute pair of Kenneth Cole Reaction sunglasses at Ross for $9.95. I've had them a month and haven't lost them. This could be a record. :D

If they state that they are genuine, and you find out otherwise, you can go through the E bay complaint process and get your money back.

Also mine came from an actual vendor that just happens to also sell on E bay,not a private person, they also have a regular webiste that I checked out, and a bricks and mortar location in Florida somwhere... so that made me trust it more.

:( My favorite pair of sunglasses were smashed when I dropped them & some asswipe stepped on them before I could retrieve them.

I am now in the market for new ones but have to start looking. I saw some beautiful D&G sunglasses that I'd love to have but I too fall under the inverse rule of losing anything expensive and having cheap ones stick around forever. Damn.

ETA: It's hard to find sunglasses for me b/c my face is really round. I'm talking bowling ball with hair and the cutest sunglasses make me look like a pumpkin with glasses on.

I can never find sunglasses that totally fit my face. So I just get whatever's in the drug store or the gas station if I need a pair to keep in my car. The last ones I bought were Revlon and they're just okay.

The more I pay for sunglasses, the quicker they go missing. I've given up on "name" sunglasses, and look for the necessities, like 100% UVA protection and a high nose bridge - then buy three or four of the same ones!

I have a pair of Halston sunglasses that I love. Since I only use them for driving, I store them in the glove compartment so that I won't lose them.

I always have to put everything away right away otherwise I lose them. As soon as I get inside the house, I put my keys back into my purse. Otherwise, I would be like my roommate whose always running around trying to remember where she threw down her keys when she's already running late.

I am completly addicted to sunglasses! I had three pairs but when I went to New York this weekend I coul;dn't resist buying five more. I try not to but expensive or dedigner ones though. I am too clumsy so I break, scratch, bend, lose and whatever else my glasses far too easily.

I alternate between my Samantha's (Coach) and a pair of Gucci sunglasses.

:cool:

I know this is a thread for the ladies, but I have 2 different pairs that I wear day-to-day. I have my Polarized Ray-Bans and a pair of Costa Del-Mars, for some reason I really like the polarized, although admittedly if you arent wearing them at all and are in the sun, you feel almost blind!

my two current sunglasses are my 9.99 specials from ABC and my 15.99 specials from target.

i break/loose sunglasses way too easily.

My sunglasses are from American Eagle Outfitters. Only $20, but they're pretty nice, and since I'm bound to break/lose them sometime in the near future (like I do with all my sunglasses!), it won't be too much of a loss.

I have a pair of tortoise Maui Jims that I wear most of the time. They're polarized and not cheap, so I wear them fratty-style on my Croakies (really).

Then I have my girly black Coach sunglasses too.

And that's all I have!
