At most I would pay the $95 through Warby Parker
Sunglasses and eyeglasses are notoriously marked up.
Browse around and find a style you like. Forget brand. Most shades cost $15 or less to make. So spending 200x that is silly.

If you find shades that you like at CVS that are $12, go for it.
If you find shades at Nordstrom for $120, so be it.

It's your money.
But I'd worry more about style and how it looks on your face

I know that Luxotica basically makes all of them and just jacks up the prices based on names.

I just need some ideas because I never really wore sunglasses.

Ray-Ban aviators.

Never go out of style, goes with everything, and can be copped for $175 or less. Warby Parker makes eyewear for grown men as well, but I know nothing about them quality-wise. Only reason to spend more than $180 on some shades is if you actually need next-level sun protection while doing physical activity - at which point you're looking at Oakleys' sport line.

Most other shades are clown-sized bullshyt.
