Samuel L. Jackson wears a pair of aviator sunglasses in Kong: Skull Island (2017).

The sunglasses are most likely American Optical AN6531 (thanks to Peter for the alert), with the round nose bar, sweat bar. The glasses have thin metal arms, probably the ones that wrap around the ears, although those details can't be seen in the trailer for the film.

Find vintage American Optical AN6531 on eBay.
