such as costa del mar…. please help me out. everyone has costas and i rather get something else.

Consider a pair of Maui Jim sunglasses–I have a pair, but I tend to wear my Costa del Mar’s a lot more. Just a suggestion, but get a pair of Costas in both colors (brown and a black pair) so that you can match what you wear. Also, the different lenses are great for driving(copper or vermilion) or on those days when you have a hangover (blue 580 lenses). I agree, Costas are everywhere, but they are comfortable and the lenses rock. I fought it, too–but that many people can’t be wrong.

If you’re dead set on being different, check out Ray-Ban and Polo Ralph Lauren frames as well. As a guy, I would stay away from the Gucci and Prada, etc. as those are for the spiky-haired club trash crowd.
