Ray-Bans 

Absolutely amazing brand of sunglasses/glasses, most widely known for their aviators and wafers, but cost a hella alot of money. Like, $140. If you see someone wearing Ray-Bans, they clearly are well off since they can afford to pay that much for sunglasses. Yes, they are just delightful and everyone wants a pair, but you have to have some serious $$ for Ray-Bans.

Very straight forward way of showing off how rich you are.
That girl must be really rich... she has 4 pairs of Ray-Bans

Whenever I go to The Hamptons, everyone is walking around with Ray-Bans, even when it's cloudy out
