What are the trendiest sunglasses of the season? From enormous-sized shades, aviators (and their variations), Jackie O styled mute-toned-to-round lens ala 70s - all are worth mentioning. Seen on many celebs these days, Ray-Ban Wayfarers are still popular in S/S 08.

Anybody remember when the Wayfarer was available in I and II versions? The II had larger lenses. Is the I still available?

Does anyone actually buy these things? IMHO anything over $5 spent on a pair of shades is too much (I used to get them a buck a throw at an unclaimed baggage store).

Guess I’m not “trendy”, thank God.

I really don't like the layout of their site, but at Ray-ban.com/USA, in the 'sun' section, the first item, "new," looks like what you're asking for.

Yes, a lot of people make very nice livings selling $1,000 sunglasses.

I’ve still got my pair of Cartier aviators from the 80’s and they still make me look like a fly. Wonder if I could get rid of them on eBay.

I once paid $240 for a pair of Wayfarer sunglasses.

Of course, they had prescription lenses...

Stylish sunglasses? I'd say whatever this fella is wearing at any given time. LOL.

I think that you should buy the cheapest available that block UV and do not distort your vision. I've been told that your eyes are actually better-off (if you wear the sunglasses outdoors, and not inside an automobile, for example) by not wearing sunglasses altogether if you just buy el-cheapo plastic. (Auto windshields block UV).

Bausch & Lomb (Ray-Bans) are for optics-nerds.

Personally, I like my lenses to block UV and "polarize." The tint/shading is irrelevant to me.

Anything other than gray tint distorts color vision.
