I submit Black Ray Ban Shooters, Maui Jims, and Costas. Always loved the shooters, but they make me look like Joe Biden. The Maui Jims work to block the sun and UV rays great, but this pair fits real close, and they can be hot and fog up. The Costas have been my favorite for a long time. they have a wide temple piece that does a good job of blocking side sun

I'm pretty sure cool sunglasses look pretty cool with a cool hat.

Earth Ezra in tortoiseshell, rx lenses with added violet tint. Bought a pair in 2024, liked them so much that when my prescription changed in 2025 I had a new pair made. (I still have the old pair sitting spare for future use, possibly as reading glasses).

Specsavers browlines, in black this time with rx and green tint (I also have a second pair with clear rx lenses that are my daily wearers):

Had thought about getting these made up with my prescription, but I'm back to very occasional contact lens wearing again, so it's useful to have a pair that are non-prescription. These will be going out with me on the 2026 Chap Flaneur on Sunday coming, 17th May. There will be photos then with a boater (a boater is my habitual go to for the Summer Flaneur).

Not me (I can only wish I looked this good!), but the inimitable Dave Vanian of The Damned. Rarely seen without a pair of uber-stylish sunglasses that complement his look entirely. Although a promo shot, this is quite typical of his day to day wear, as opposed to his stage wear:
