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
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
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 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!
I’m more of a hat person. Maybe 3-4?
FIFTY?!
I mean I just broke a pair and I have at least 5 other pairs in the house right now - although I hate most of them so probably will get a new pair.
Probably about three.
I had some cheap (awful) mirror sunglasses back when they were all the rage, and a pair of prescription sunglasses before I started getting reactive lenses. I must have had at least one other pair but those are the only two I remember.
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.
One pair every two years, so maybe seven. Estimating of course.
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.
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 might have had 1-2 as a kid, probably because I thought it looked cool. But I lost them pretty fast. Other than that I don’t see the need for them.
I’m like you. But didn’t find it cool. I inherited some, so my count is two.
I know exactly because I need prescription.
11. So that’s roughly one pair every 4 years. Of which I have 10, one of them is at the bottom of a lake somewhere
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.
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.
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.
