They go great with my white Elvis jumpsuit.....
Hold your head high and make them cool. Bass players don't need to follow someone else's fashion lead.
classic - black ray bans
brit pop - big jackie o ditas
cop sexy - randolph engineering aviators
fashionista - lime green versace geek glasses

Because they won't be getting laid either way?
Ray Ban Wayfarers, polarized. Great glasses; solid construction and weight to them. I expect these to last me until I lose them 
My eyes are very light blue. They are sensitive to sunlight. So, when driving I wear those dorky cheap amber (BlueBlocker) things. They simply work best for me when driving.
I have a couple RayBan aviators for when I'm trying to be tragically hip. I'm almost 45 so I can get away with not sporting the very latest in sunglasses fashion and frankly don't care if the 19 year old girls think they are cool.

I use the coolest of all sunglasses.
Fit over my prescription glasses and are great for driving because they block when the sun is on the side, and have a lip of plastic over the top for full coverage.

Aviators, classic simple ones. They are 4 years old and my prescription ones changed so I haven't been using them for 3 years. I'm gonna change normal glasses in the next weeks so I will change the sunglasses to... another variant of the Aviators.

I recently had my eyes checked, and my prescription for distance is no longer necessary (need reading glasses for tiny print, though). So after years with Rayban prescritpions, I got these 'real' sunglasses.
Mirrors are great for babe watching at the beach and doing my best Chips impression. Otherwise, it's dollar store aviators like these ... because I lose and break them so often:
atm, fossil aviators
Most bang for the buck, and they last...American Optical, about $70 for a top quality set of classics. You can keep your $300 and $400 Oakleys and foo-foo glasses, these are what manly men wear (and they come in gold, chrome and black):
If I ever spend more money on sunglasses it will be a pair from them. I'm a sucker for large, classically rounded, wireframed aviators.Most bang for the buck, and they last...American Optical, about $70 for a top quality set of classics.
