I bought a pair of Jimmy Fairly glasses in Paris last year. I think these are the ones. They were under $150. Saw the same exact style but branded by Krewe eyewear back home for $400

I still have a couple pairs of Maui Jims too. Those are more for sports, pool, and beach.

Another on the inexpensive spectrum that I wear all the time as my I don't care if they get beat up pair are Goodr's.

i don't swear by a lot, but Goodrs are one of them. every pair has lasted me 4+ years and they never bother me. running, driving, fishing, etc. perfect pair for anything outdoors. and when they break or you lose one, it's $25.

The do make prescription ones now and i'm seriously debating dropping $100 on regular non-sunglass goodrs because they are more comfortable than my regular glasses.

Usually wear one of these two. Maui Jim's for the every day whatever. Ray Bans for the more buttoned up environment.

I have a pair of Costa’s and three pairs of Blenders. TBH the quality of the Blenders are close enough to my Costa’s to never spend over $50 on a pair of sunglasses ever again.

Cool looking pair of Raybans, Prostyle.

I'm near-sighted as hell, so I have to wear something that fits over my glasses

I have a few pairs of Blenders and they are just ok. I'll always spend money on good sunglasses.

Depending on what I am doing, either Maui Jim Ho'Okipa or Ray Bans Wayfarers. I love the Maui Jims. Great glasses for working/exercising/recreational activities outdoors.

Few pairs of Shady Rays for outdoor activities. Use my Costas for fishing I've had for like 15 years. Couple pair of Krewe and some Ray Ban Clubmasters for nice events.

Yep. I have multiple pairs of theirs in different colors that I've had for ast least 4 years and no issues. I had one of the mirrored ones that after quite a lot of time wearing in the water, some of the mirroring material on the lense started to wear/scratch off, but again that was after like 3.5+years. I've been pleasantly surprised how good their lenses are for the price point.
