Well, atleast I think I look better in sunglasses now that I shave my head versus when I didn't. Before I could never wear aviators and several other types of glasses. Or atleast I didn't think I looked good in them. Now that I shave my head I feel much more confident wearing several types of glasses.

i have trouble finding any that i like the way they look. any suggestions?

I've read and been told several times that the type of glasses you wear depends on the shave of your face/head. Because I have a round face, I typically wear very rectangular glasses; except for my aviators. I now love sunglasses and have several pairs. The three that I wear most are:
Arnette sunglasses for everyday wear. They are sporty so I wear them a lot with jeans and t-shirts. They kinda make me look mean.
Ralph Lauren rimless - these are what I wear when I'm dressed up.
Ray Ban Aviators - I wear these if I'm in Vegas or just in a fun mood. They kinda make me look like a cop.

I have the Arnette 3036

Continue to check out the different stores, including department stores. I realized that I just had to start spending money on good glasses versus trying to find cheap glasses that looked good because I could never find a cheap pair that looked good.
Though, once you buy them, make sure to have a hard case with you and a cloth designed for cleaning glasses so you don't ruin the lenses.
-
need to check those out. i like 'em.

I have one pair of shades for all occaisons. With flames on the side and everything.
-
Yeah, I am a little extreme with the sunglasses. Watches also. Those are two things I like to buy.
-
I haven't bought a watch in I don't know how long. I have a very nice Montana Silversmith's watch with a bullrider on the face. An ex-girlfriend gave it to me, and it doesn't even work anymore.
I'll have to buy a new one if I get the CASH tat on the bottom of my left wrist.
-
hey pigpen! you ride bulls?
-
I usta could. Got injured at work back in 2000 and haven't ridden since. I still have all of my gear though...chaps and stuff.
-
i fought bulls for awhile. you know, cowboy protection. you guys are insane. i can't see tying myself to a bull. dancing with them, yes, but not riding. where did you ride?
-
Just local rodeos around New Mexico. Won a buckle at my first rodeo Labor Day weekend in '98. After that there it was a habit. First bull I rode, I ended up fracturing my wrist when I hit the ground. As tall as I am, most people told me I should be riding bareback...so I was just hell bent on proving them wrong. I had bullfighters save my hide more than once. Still managed to get stepped on every now and then, dashboarded a couple of times too.
-
saved more than a few guys that were in those kinda binds, you know a guy named james pierce?
-
Doesn't ring a bell. I only ran the local circuit for about two years before I hung it up. I got married not too long after my surgery to fix my wrist injury.

Same here.  I have more sunglasses then some women have shoes.  :-\ I know that is bad.  I agree I feel very confident when I have my head shaved perfectly and walking around with a nice pair of face huggers.  Anyway, I tried all types of shades formal styles and active types (everything from Armani to Oakley.)  I found I really like Nike’s lineup of shades.  They’re super light, good design, durable and surprisingly affordable.
-
I don't know if these are really any different, but these are actually the glasses I own. The Arnette Steel Demon 3001

I've seen a couple pair of glasses that Nike makes that I like. I've just been holding off on buying more glasses. If I get the urge, which I'm sure I will here soon, I'll take a look at Nike.
-
I may have to break down and buy a new pair soon. The lenses are scratched pretty bad on the ones I have now. But what do you expect for $8? I admit that I'm a tightwad when it comes to shades...maybe I'll check out the Nike lineup when it's time.

I prefer the CVS $5.99 special

I'm very fond of my Ray Bans. I might even replace this now-worn pair with the same kind.
-
wow noner, looking slick! :)

This is why Noner gets all the lay-days.
(was that right Noner?)

Ray-Ban aviators for years and years, I love that little belt holster they give you, but lately it's been all Oakleys.

I'm with Noner - go for the cheapies. When (not if) you lose or sit on them, nothing lost!

Shouldn't the title be bald men look better than the rest period? 8)

you may want to change color of that tie then though (maybe a leather one?), right you look more godfather/goodfellas slick to me. :D True stylish maffia, "dressed to kill". ;)
