Finding pretty glasses is easy. Finding ones that compliment your face is much more difficult.
Pics?

I wish I had the swagger to rock the Clubmasters 
Gonna try to find a pic or two.
I usually hate buying stuff I wear on Internet since I can't try them.
Exactly.
The only pair I've found that fit my face are the Oakley wire frames, shame they cost so much.
These are my current sunglasses and I freaking love them, sat me back $110, but it was worth it. I had another pair that lasted me three years before they got ran over.

I've had a pair of American Optical aviators for three years, and they're my favorite sunglasses ever.
They're my Don Draper glasses, and they're badass.
Super affordable, too.

I search and I'm afraid not. They're not easy to find nowadays.

Isn't the Persol 2994 S the same look?
I have a pair of these Sunpockets. I like to think of them as the poor man's Persol.

Im not sure. It would be nice to have it under 30£.
Changed my mind. Can be over 60£.
They actually have a bunch of styles that may work for the OP. Not exactly like Selima Optique Chad but similar styles.

I don't mind paying $200 or so for great eye protection. My Maui Jims cost that much and they're fantastic; the optical quality is unmatched. Take care of your vision.

Anyone scanning faces (kinect-style) and 3D printing frames for glasses/sunglassses. If not (I'd bet some is), do that and make money somone, GAF gets royalty.

Okay, I got this idea about a clothes washer that fit on top of a dryer and deposits the wet clothes to be dried as one load. You can have that one if someone didn't steal that from me too, dang telepaths...
Really? I've only seen the Wayfarers on the street, which are similar, but not as swaggy.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
Just buy the cheapest ones that look nice to you.
Everything is pretty much owned by 1 Italian company anyway (from the glasses, to the damn eye care centers).... Even if they're different brands.

That's possible but the savings are small, and you end up with no ability to place the machines as you want, having to put them on top of one another. You'd be better off making a washing machine that also dries clothes, but that's more difficult.

Well, considering there are plenty of companies making combo washer/dryers it can't be too difficult.

Ha! ;p
Those look nice. Also, does the uk have sites like gilt etc? The often have Oliver peoples and other higher end shades for about half price or better.

I almost always go with the narrow wraparound biker-style shades, like these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000NL5S76/
But don't buy the cheapest ones. Many of those have no UV protection, which could lead to severe damage to your retina.

I got these for $10 (should be somewhere on the UK store) and they are surprisingly good quality. I bought 2 pairs, they have a couple colors.

I got a pair of these in brown before going to Europe and wore the shit out of them.

I bought some new style wayfarers a couple years back and couldn't be happier with them, I wasn't a big fan of the price that comes with ray bans but I wanted what I could consider a quality product that I knew would protect my eyeballs. In fact I ended up sitting on them on the beach on some rocks a year ago and they held up great, you can barely even tell where they got scuffed up and you have to know where to look.
Plus I don't usually think I look good in sunglasses (or regular glasses for that matter) but I feel that these look great on me which is nice

I would advise you to save up and get Ray-bans, Supers, Persols, Oliver Peoples, or Warby Parkers.

Damn, y'all sell some nice stuff. Might have to treat myself to a new watch at some point if I can ween myself off wearing my Pebble.

This. Can never never go wrong with a pair of Wayfarers.
This is my current pair:
oh man, these look good for like a music festival or some kind of rave but surely you don't wear these with your every day clothes?
