What are some ostentatious sunglasses for men and women?
Specific models. I like Tom Ford, Brioni, Cartier, Bulgari and other designers.

LV sells ridiculous looking sunglasses at a ridiculous price. As an aside, can you set a profile picture appropriate for a gentlemen’s forum?

Agreed - only acceptable if that is a picture of his wife and those handprints are his own.

I don't like ridiculous sun glasses. I do like Maui Jim though for both lens quality and their innovation which is rare in this industry. Most other well known brands are all made by Luxottica actually and all the same old boring tech.

You seem hung up on ostentatious.

Those profile pics are so small you can barely make out what it is. Maybe I need some ostentatious glasses.

These seem understated and quite nice….

Although the tassels could have been a bit longer.

Pit Vipers are a thing with all the young bucks on my crews. Them and a mullet and they say you’re good to go.

Agreed. I don't want to look like this:

(at some point, you're just too old to be "that cool")

But with respect to Maui Jim, you are getting a very good quality product made of premium materials that is comfortable, and hence I can justify spending $300 on them. The company's willingness to stand behind their products is also notable.

That not a very good dad, you don’t have to wear them. That’s kinda a weird power play there. There hugely popular with the 14-22yr olds in ca.

What other jewelry brands make ostentatious sunglasses? Fashion brands all have a similar style.
