All my pairs of sunglasses are the knockoff Wayfarer models in neon colors that you get for free at like sporting events and stuff and they don't last long :( I really want a pair like theseClick for larger image but I don't want to spend 200 bucks. Anyone know of any knockoff brands who make glasses like these?

Nigga. Zumiez, Pacsun, Rue21, any skate shop will have these bright colored glasses for like $14. Mine even have orange reflective lenses. Literally EVERY shop in my mall has these shades.

Honestly, I think sunglasses are worth spending money on. I always used to rock cheap shades and they would break or get scratched, blah blah blah, but I got a pair of polarized Ray-Bans and I've had them for around a year and a half, in perfect shape, and the lenses are soooo much better than a cheap pair. Just save some money and invest it in a pair of good ones instead of five pairs of shitty ones.

I just rock the fake wayfarers.


Who cares if they break? 1-10$ = golden. Even if I had "good" sunglasses I'd still break em or lose them.


Cheap is better

I'd recommend spend the extra cash to get an expensive pair. You won't regret it, believe me, if your still too cheap you can find very similar pairs to those at Urban Outfitters which look fine and dandy

I can't spend a lot because I always lose mine. I have a few pairs of knockarounds. They're good for cheapos. I would suggest getting fort knocks though, the fit is much better

this. I have had a pair of Oakley Jurys for the last 2-3 years. They are polarized and have some sweet lenses. The style is discontinued so everyone asks where I got em. Had a guy try to buy them off my face.

These are the worst sunglasses I have ever seen. Why someone would want shitty knockoff wayfarers that say "sluts" on the side is beyond me.

Knockarounds. Really cheap and reasonably durable.

Cuz YOLO right? There honestly not terrible quality. Sure not as good as wayfarers, but there much better than the knockoffs you get at zumiez, pacsun, etc.

My desk is a black monolith roughly the size of Northamptonshire.
For the sake of contrast I laid them on an Apple wireless keyboard because it's mostly white.

So no I couldn't take the picture on a table like a normal person.

This one was a gift from my roommate, I normally wear my rare vintage 80's sunglasses worth copious amounts of bullion a piece.

Then sadly I can't consider your opinion valid.

It reminded me of the famous slogan of a Dutch toilet cleaning product:
(translated of course)

We from Toilet Duck advise you to use Toilet Duck.
