I think you can get away with all kinds of sunglasses with suits, as long they aren't the sport type (like biking glasses). My favorites are wayfarers - not just for looks, but for me the Wayfarers are super comfortable. I have black frames and I think they go with everything - but I think tortoiseshell would also.
 
The only pair of shades I have are the ray-Ban Daddy-O in black. I like the way they look and they do the job they're supposed to do.

Unfortunately they fit pretty tight on my big head, but I haven't found another model that would be better.
 
In Australia, if someone wears sunglasses with a suit, they look like a footballer up before the local magistrate. It's as much a faux pas as doing up the bottom button on a suit's coat (sometimes, always, never).

Don't care if it's a good idea (Australia's a hot, sunny place - especially in summer). Here, it's just a bad look.
 
You're delusional! Sunglasses have been perfectly acceptable to wear with a suit for ages. Like the umbrella, raincoat, or hat, they serve a useful function. Of course, there's a small part of me that hopes you only find this in bad taste when appearing before the local magistrate... because it is, along with wearing sunglasses at night and where there's plenty of shade indoors.
 
Jovan, unfortunately we have some fairly badly behaved footballers here - and whenever they turn up to court it's big news. No doubt their minders advise them to wear sunnies. It just looks dreadful fighting off a media scrum, wearing sunnies and a suit together (and as I said, almost certainly and UNFORGIVABLY, doing up the bottom button).

Sorry if I've bothered anyone but this is the mental image that pops in my mind when I think about this topic.
 
Since you can't see people's eyes in sunglasses, they would have to come off for any social interaction IMO.

I only wear them with a suit going to or from places, or if I'm stuck standing in the sun doing nothing. I have a pair of Diors and a pair of rayban pilots. Both work.
 
Somebody I work with wears sunglasses indoors, at night, but they're on top of his head at least.
 
Similar to other posts, I have a few pairs, depending on what I am wearing. I have a Cartier (silver & black) with curved lenses - kinda sporty; Persol 108's (love 'em); A Gold&Wood version of aviators (silver, with blue wood temples); Fendi gold frame (not that great on me...I'm too caucasian) with black horn temples (SL7220) and yellow tint lenses...they are very cool, however; RayBans; Gotti "Percy" in Palladium....these are very beautiful! I wear glasses every day and my SG all have prescription lenses, too. I believe that eyewear should be a unqiue accessory, since people look into at your face all of the time....

Eyeglasses have become one of my "signatures". I encourage everyone to try many different styles and finishes - you might be surprised what looks good on you!

Depending upon the topic of conversation and to whom I'm speaking with, I'll remove my sunglasses at noon in July to converse. Eye contact is important. I wear Ray Ban Predators (3194) in grey frame/green polarized lens and brown/brown unpolarized.
 
Have responded to this thread before, but as big Persol fan, had to mention I picked up 3 pairs yesterday...although I think I may convert one pair (the 2924) to regular eyewear with clear lenses, they are very cool.....now have models: 2914 (tortise and black), 2790 (clear grey) and 2924 (dark tortise).

Tortise frames with a suit = a classic look (just look at DC as James Bond or McQueen in the images on this thread)....as are the aviators. Both are sharp and timeless. Now if I could only swing the Aston Martin. Damn.
