I haven't owned sunglasses in years, and I feel that I need them. What's a good pair/style of sunglasses to get? Please use pictures in your answer. Please avoid big words, as they confuse me.

i honestly just go to the indoor swap meet and buy like 3 or 4 pairs of the $5 glasses.
i usually end up either losing them or breaking them. so, i dont feel theres a need to spend a lot of cash on a nice pair when i wont enjoy it to the fullest

Word. I pretty much do the same, because 90% of the time I end up sitting on my sunglasses.

Syd,
You should go to lense crafters and try on tons of them until you find a pair you like.
Then go buy them at a place that doesn't charge a shitload.
Great site for glasses:

I personally vote for:
Polorized 50% Mirror Aviator

I just avoid staring into the sun.
Sunglasses I would by like 9 pairs for 10$ at a dollar store because then you have a few back up pairs, and they last longer than 1 10$ pair.

 I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.
Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

I could use sunglasses too, but I always choose cool looking thin ones and then break them almost immediately. I'm thinking I should just weld some heavy metal frames and pop some lenses into them. Now where can I get an ARC welder...

I only wear them when I drive. Even so, I break or lose them at an alarming rate. Sunglasses aren't the type of investment I'd sink a lot of money into, personally. I just pick a cheaper, decent looking pair off the rack and I'm good to go.

I gotta agree with G-Man. Nothing is more slick than a pair of polarized aviators. I'm gonna buy myself a pair when I get contacts next payday.

I agree with everyone else. Just get some cheap ones. Because if you dump $100 on glasses only to break or lose them within a month, you'll be pissed.

Amen. I used to go through sunglasses like tissue. Just buy the cheapest ones you can find.
