he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses...

You've sucked in your gut to the max and popped your abs to the point where your colon is ready to rupture. You visualize the effects of a Viagra binge on Secreteriat as you erect your posture. The pinstripes on your Brioni are so pimp, they might as well call you, Derek Jeter Herman Ruth. But what type of shades do you throw on? So many choices, after all, triangulating your pocket square, tie, sunglass axis was an extracurricular at Yale...and you were too busy achieving Excel Jedi Knighthood to attend. "That whole Yale thing".

Gentlemen, surely I gest. The summer is here and the weekend approaches. What could more entice a young monkey than the thought of leaving his playpen at 11:48 PM EST and throwing on his favorite pair of Ray-Ban's. The sleek feel of old school American cool. Like a fighter pilot. Your suit almost feels like a bomber jacket as your Crackberry remotely opens the cockpit of your personal F-117 Stealth Banker Bomber. The B&T crowd is bowled over by your breadth of game. Somewhere, a "Jersey Shore" afficionada is in need of a panty change.

Little do you know, your wanton display of gangsta is layered by the taste of a speedo clad, olive oil lathered, bifurious sheman named Piacenzo, half a globe away. Not to mention you are paying for his back wax and next three months at the cafe discussing how the filthy Americans are ruining the world and the quality of the Azzuri national side.

Though it's just a splash in our daily bowl of soggy cereal, this level of randomness seems to pervade the public opinion of bankers.

So I ask you my fellow monkeys: why not just cop the $9.99 version at your nearest CVS? Having your shades melt on your face certainly adds the perfect hint of Batemanesque to your mystique, doth it not? If we all rocked Men's Warehouse and square toed Oxfords, would the haters just go away?

Nothing would give me more pleasure than to take a baseball bat and hit everyone with neon glasses in the face. It's like walking into a crowded room shouting "HEY EVERYONE! I'M HERE!" when no one really gives a shit. Some think it's "cool" and some think it's "funny". You're not cool. You're not funny. And you're apparently long overdue for a good ass kicking.

Remember gentlemen, conservative rules.

cfaboston28Aviator all the way. Classic Rayban!

Agreed. Aviator or the old school (that has made a HUGE comeback) Matte Black shades are conservative. Not that cheap superfluous shit that guy posted above.

I got your back Magoo...I enjoy your posts and find them to be a nice break from the day.

As far as the sun glasses are concerned...I hate the plastic multi-colored frames that look like you robbed the lockers at Bayside High School. They aren't cool and haven't been since Hulk Hogan body slammed Andre the Giant at Wresltemania III.

Obviously "value" is a relative term but for the most part, I personally don't see value in spending more then $100 (give or take) on a pair of sun glasses. As long as they look good and they are polarized I am good to go. I will note that I am not very fashion forward so I am not likely to be rocking some big ass goggles posing as aviators and typically stick to somewhat neutral colors.

I don't ever imagine myself spending $600 on a single pair of shades, but who knows...maybe I will have it like that one day.

Regards
