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

    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.

    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.

    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 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 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.

    At least 25. I’ve lost 2 or 3 in rivers while kayaking. Others have broken or gotten lost in other ways.

    I go for cheap polarized glasses so it’s not a big loss but still annoying.
