Steal Some Movie Style: Men's Sunglasses

Want to know the exact sunglasses that Daniel Craig wore in Casino Royale? Prefer Brad Pitt's shades from Mr.& Mrs. Smith?

Psychologists say that sunglasses evoke a mood, bring out an aspect of personality, and generally, if you have good taste, can make you look like your cool. They make a statement and the nice thing about sunglasses is they're very useful too. As the internet advances, it's become possible, sort of, to bring the store to you so now you can try on those sunglasses you've had your eye on before you buy. You can see what you'd look like when you try on these sun glasses online with the FrameFinder(sm) Virtual Eyeglass Try-On. You upload a photo of your face to their website and the website does the rest.

There is only one problem with stealing your sunglasses from a movie. It gets expensive if you want the real thing. My own point of view is that I'm slightly conflicted. I don't want James Bond to be driving around Monte Carlo in the middle of the day wearing a pair of K-Mart sunglasses, but I can't afford the real thing. However, there may be a solution or at least a partial solution. There are a few discounters named at the end of the article that offer knockoffs of some of these sunglasses for a fraction of the cost. It sure takes care of my conflict. Also, I couldn't resist the chance to review the listed movies, at least the ones I saw. They are rated on a scale of one to five stars.
