I hardly ever wear shades off the bike, and when I do it's the same cheap-ass ones I wear on the bike. Designer shades, like designer anything, are ****ing lame.

Off the bike , the oddity is I often wear my Ruddy's because my Take A Look Mirror won't fit around their frames. I had bought my Ruddies for the bike..... So I usually wear my cheaper Performance cycling glasses while on the bike because I always ride with my mirror attached to my sunglasses. ..... Otherwise, I wear these..

Prada as daily drivers:
I don't wear cheap "gas-station" sunglasses because the plastic will negatively affect your vision in the long run. High quality lenses feel like you're not wearing anything, cheapo lenses change your vision like perscription lenses from what I can tell.

Either my all-black Giro havik II's that I don't use for racing anymore, or my Oakley Twitch frames. I got those for $35 off of WhiskeyMilitia, good deal, I think!
