Beater Shades

A cheap pair of non-designer sun glasses that can be tossed around, dropped, scratched, or lost. These glasses can be found at gas stations, flea markets, or events like Warped Tour. One of the most popular styles of beater shades are imitation Ray Bans made of cheap plastic with neon colored arms, usually given away as freebies at concerts.
