Aviator Sunglasses Appreciation Thread!

[Palace_Hero]

I personally think these are the greatest fashion accessories around at the moment, a good pair is priceless. I have Ray Bans and I love them, though they have dark tinted lenses and I wouldn't mind having a pair of reflective glasses. Seriously, these sunnies are great, they provide great protection and shade whilst looking mint. On me atleast.

Does anyone else share my appreciation? Keep in mind that I am not one to follow trends, I set them. You have to when you are a popular social figure. However I realise these have come back into style but I just can't say no to them.

Aviators. Love it! = someone else.

= me.

TC in Top Gun has a pair like that and looks superb! The scene where he stands up after the lecture outside, and puts on his glasses is just

No matter - thankfully u have a HUGE TC fan here, who would never forget such a classic moment

Let us not forget Anthony from BB 2005!!

Aye! Mint! His Aviators made him the spitting image of our darling Tom.

Legends, all round!

As the Graham Coxon song Freakin' Out goes....."Put on your aviator shades, yeh man you're lookin' really ace"

 

[Aardvark747]

^Superb lyric!

 

[Palace_Hero]

Coxon is Aviator worthy.

 

[Aardvark747]

He does good covers of Syd Barrett songs....

Jim's friend wears a pair and it makes him look like the uni bomber

This picture gave me nightmares when it came on TV all the time when I was little.

Chow Yun-Fat wears a pair of these amazing Ray-Bans in John Woo's 'A Better Tomorrow' and he looks utterly stylish.

That guy looks like he is about to bust out of that hood and do some Michael Jackson moves on my ass.

I like sunglasses

 

[DrTeeth]

They are absolutely hideous. I think David Hasselhoff wore those in Knight Rider.

I like Oakley's...particulary the A wire gunmetal 2.0.

The good thing about Oakleys are that you can send them in for screw replacements, frame straightning (minor repairs) for free.

Although the shades will set you back $150.

So that's why it's "free".

Aviator's on Maverick, cool.

Aviator's on anyone else, about as cool as warm diarrhea.

Hey, hey, hey - Knight Rider wasn't that bad.

I'm not going to say it wasn't corny.... but it had some unforgettable parts, like the theme song, and the car. lol


As for sunglasses, I like them a whole lot. I have my own, blue reflective ones, but they aren't aviators. Though I would like to get some someday


Here's a question - where do you guys find good cases?
I need durable ones, because I tend to need durable things. I would sacrifice style for durablity when it comes to the case. I don't want anything to happen to my sunglasses, ever

(bad memories from broken sunglasses )

any suggestions ??

Those are nice, but they aren't aviators.

Here's two pair of Aviator glasses you don't wanna see behind you!

I have a serious shades fetish I absolutely LOVE sunglasses! In the right pair of shades just about any one can look cool. I never found country singer Tim McGraw even the slightest bit attractive (nice guy, just never did anything for me) till I saw him in that duet video with Nelly, Tim was leaning against the wing of a plane, wearing reflective lens aviator shades OMG!!!!
