After accidentally sitting on my favorite pair today and destroying them, it got me wondering how many pair of shades I’ve owned in my lifetime.
I’m just gonna go with a round number and say about 50. I only buy cheap sunglasses btw
0, they’re like umbrellas to me, I never bother with them
Doctor, why do I have cataracts.
I get the no umbrella thing but doing anything in the sun without sunglasses is absolutely miserable and inevitably gives me a headache for the rest of the day.
Maybe two or three, I wear glasses and have never had prescription sunglasses, so it’s kinda hard to wear them.
Why would you have to think about this? Just activate the tism and count them up.
12, if you count transition lenses that I have now.
100’s at least. Just two years ago I bought a shit load wholesale. Minimum you could buy was 30. I have now worn out every pair of those cheap sun glasses and need to get more.
Maybe 5, mine have to be prescription lenses so I can’t just lose or break them.
I’m going to guess 20. I wear them a lot. I probably buy a new pair every other year. I go for no-brand, but always polarized.
The leading cause of death is getting scratched up while getting tossed around in the car.
I have only ever had two pairs of sunglasses. The first set when I was a child, and the second set that stays in the car. I dont really go anywhere that would benefit from sunglasses, so that has been enough for me.
I have 5 pairs of Oakley square wire sunglasses that I’ve owned for almost 3 decades. Bought most of them with my first paycheck. I just replace the ear socks and nose pieces, and one pair has replacement lenses. I have never owned any other pairs.
Lifetime? Dozens. Hell, I get so many free ones as swag at places it’s ridiculous.
I only really wear my one pair though. It’s got prescription lenses, so I did kind of splurge on that pair for something nice and would go with everything.
I really like unique or kinda of wild styles though, things that make a statement. So I’d like to be able to wear, afford, and store more. Even as a man, I think accessories round out an outfit and make it look complete. Like a nice watch, the appropriate shoes, jacket, and hat.
One.
I wasn’t outside all that, I didn’t need them until I started driving. By then I wore glasses, so they had to be prescription. I was excited to wear them though!
I lose them all the time. Here is what I use now:
They are wraparound, comfortable, shatter resistant, cost $2 a pair when not on sale, and go on sale for $1 a pair fairly often including I think right now.
I’m calling the fashion police
I’ve owned five, but have worn/used three.
First pair from age 13 or 14 through to 17. Second pair from 17 until 24. Third pair has seen daily use for over 14 years.
I have replaced the lenses in my third pair once, and have a couple of pairs of spare lenses if the need arises. I already have my next two pairs of sunglasses, bought them maybe eight years ago, just in case.
This doesn’t include tinted safety glasses that I wear at work, I usually only get an average of 6-8 months out of those.
Impressive. Sounds like you take your sunglasses game very seriously - especially if you have some on lock down for the future.
I just like the idea of never having to buy another pair of sunglasses. If the next two pairs last as long as my current pair, they should outlast me.
Grew up in phoenix… my eyes are very sensitive to light. I rarely can find lenses that are dark enough…
SO MANY…. Seriously well into triple digits
One, but they’re prescription so I baby the heck out of them.
I’m more of a hat person. Maybe 3-4?
