Looking for a place with the mother load selection of sunglasses

Ive been up and down Queen west and Yonge st a dozen times in the last month in all the trendy clothing shops and convenient stores and what ever other hole in the ground has glasses on a rack. Its all garbage. I dont want to pay 200 for a pair I will end up loosing over the side of a boat cruise or some shit either at an expensive name brand store.

Ive checked out the flea market at keele and Sheppard but same generic knock off gino plastic garbage there too for 10 bux each.

Anyone know where to get cool shades that are in the 50 - 100 range that arent nessesarily designer or designer knock offs, which are quality?

There HAS to be somewhere with the mother load selection around.

Aldo/H&M? I find they tend to have decent cheap sunglasses for parties

Which part up up and down queen west and yonge didnt you understand?

Ha, havent been to H&M yet. Every time I go in there I feel like Im getting eye fucked by twinks.

Ray Bans really aren't that expensive. Just order a pair online.

I totally would love to buy online, but buying glasses without trying them on is sketchy. Kinda like any clothing.

I suppose I could find a pair I like in a store and then order them.

edit* who sells lots of Ray Ban in TO? Honestly Ive had the same pair of shades for over 4 years and I just recently had to retire them due to an unfortunate encounter with *cough CZ cough* so I havent even been shopping for shades in a long time.

I bought mine online and got the perfect pair. The Ray Ban site is great...it tells you if the glasses are made for small or large faces. I mean honestly, you *should* have a general idea of what looks good on you by now?

Just Google some shit on face shapes + sunglasses if you're unsure.

I love sunglasses.

I get my shades at Optic Zone... Front/Jarvis.

Loads of selection...

These are a little different than in the pic above but same "sheild" lense, which also is the only thing that looks good on me, and is a very close resemblence to what I recently retired.

Im looking for pretty much this very pair. I may end up ordering online if my search comes empty handed locally.

Mine are similar. Updated aviators with more of a wrap frame. They weren't available in Canada so I had to get my friend in LA to buy them and ship them to me.

very nice!I have the same "wrap-around" style but in plastic
reaaaaaaally digging these guys! let me know before you order!

I really want a new pair of massive fuck off shades for this summer...thanks for the reminder.

I have a pair of Marc Jacobs aviators that were about $100 (US) - I think most of his shades are in that price range.

$50-$100 is a tough price range for sunglasses.

omg
I want these now!

Agreed, but my last pair very closely resembled the ones I first posted, made with real glass, and steel frames. Very nice quality. Had them for over 4 years. Got them at an esso station on a sketchy sunny morning drive home from Guv for 10 bux

Will that deal ever happen again? No, but I still refuse to pay more than 100 ish for something so easily broken, stolen, sat on or lost.

Thanks for this thread guys... need a couple pairs of shades for the summer... my last pair was swallowed when i was in portugal last year.

a couple of those ray-bans look dope.
