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
Five maybe? I lost one nice pair to a wave at the beach, and since then I buy mine at truck stops and dollar stores. It’s much less stressful to wear glasses that cost me $1.50 !
Ok I would think you might be somewhat younger. This has been my philosophy for years but you start to rack up the numbers as time goes on!
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
Maybe 6. One prescription, and two dollar store pairs. I wear sunglasses pretty much any time I go outside unless there’s no sun. Year-round.
I can not count. I learned my lesson about buying expensive sunglasses with a single large wave at the beach. I’ve been buying cheap polarized wayfarer style sunglasses since. Do they break… yes. Does $5 hurt me at this point no
My man!
Over my entire life 50 sounds about right. So many sunglasses have either been lost or destroyed by me that the most I’ll spend on a pair is $10
Ok we’re in the same camp here lol. I guess age could also be a definite factor for this question.
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.
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.
Maybe two or three, I wear glasses and have never had prescription sunglasses, so it’s kinda hard to wear them.
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.
I will not answer your question, but instead share a detail. When I finally found sunglasses that look good on me I bought two pair. I plan to buy a third of the same soon, assuming my prescription have changed much. Thanks Shaquille O’Neal.
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.
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.
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
Maybe 5, mine have to be prescription lenses so I can’t just lose or break them.
