i also have a pretty thin face, but have found that there are several oakley styles that fit very well. currently i have the fives 3.0, which i really like.


i think you can find them for about $70 w/out polarized lenses.


also, the oakley mag four S sunglasses are built for a thin face, but i don't think they look as good as the fives.

secondly, if you're going to buy some shades and want to save some dough, i recommend checking out the sunglass section of backcountry outlet . they don't always have the widest range of color choices, but you can usually save about 50%.

those are nice. I have the same style face...oakley 5s 2.0 have been in my arsenal for the past 3 years. I've rocked the polarized ones for 2 years thanks to FFK.




The lenses have taken a beating, mostly due to beach wear.

i dont wear sunglasses, but if I do they are cheap aviators because they are utilitarian, and my nose looks ginormous in any other type. but I dont see the point of buying super expensive ones, fashion changes from year to year so why stick to soemthing for 10 years?

QFT, also aviators are eternally badass while most other sunglasses styles tend to look sort of metro to me.

Example: if everyone in The Matrix wore aviators instead of the strange, "fashionable" shades they wore, the 2nd and 4rd Matrix movies would have rocked as hard as the first one.

Example: this guy is awesome

like someone else in this thread, i own prescription sunglasses.

i went with a frame from chrome hearts (am I the only person who knows this brand?) and the package set me back around 450 bucks. not cheap.

Plus the light outside just looks better through them, and I don't get a weird rainbow effect when I have the visor down on my motorcycle helmet.

Figuring that the Toasters would cost $60-$70, I went to REI last night to buy a pair. Oops, they're $110. For non-polarized. A pair with polarized lenses costs $130.

it is the polarized glasses that cause the "rainbow effect" on your motorcycle visor, and other tinted surfaces

I bought a pair of these Ray-Ban RB4036's with polarized lenses for daily wear and use in baseball when I am playing a position instead of pitching. They work really well for both uses, they're comfortable, and the lenses are very durable and scratch-resistant unlike my last pair of Bolle sunglasses.

They were a pretty good deal at $129, as well. Would do business with again A++++

Agreed.

Personally, i but 3-5 pairs a year from the knock off stands in my local mall. i basically buy X number of the biggest pairs they have, b/c i have a giant mellon. i also wear pretty much only purple lenses b/c they're extra baller.

Sunglasses aren't just for fashion. "Sport-ish" glasses are great for sports. Particularly when you need total eye coverage for sports such as cycling and snow sports.

I like the higher end glasses specifically because I'll take extra care not to lose them.
