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

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.

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.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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!

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I've never lost a single pair. The ones I use currently are over 15 years old. I can only remember owning 4 different pairs but there are probably few more that I had in my childhood but no longer remember.

Three that I recall. First pair was in my early twenties, some weird blue bug eye mirror things that I thought made me look cool (they didn’t). Second was a pair of Fossil sunglasses in this cool gunmetal color/material with prescription lenses, acquired shortly after the bug sunglasses. Those lasted me for years. Current pair are Raybans with prescription lenses. They’ve lasted quite a few years as well.

I wear normal glasses as well and keep my sunglasses in a case. I’ve never sat on them.

3 in the last 10 years. before that I don't remember

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

0 unless you count transition lenses. 4 pairs if you do. I don't particularly like them, but I dislike them less than having the sun in my eyes.

[–] InSamsara@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

If I had to guess maybe around 5 pairs of sunglasses, give or take. I own a pretty reliable pair of sunglasses right now that I have had for over a year. These are high quality polarized sunglasses too, maybe a little under a hundred dollars. I kinda wish I got them sooner because I haven't lost them yet surprisingly.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago
[–] Blackout@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

I buy them in 3 packs on Amazon. $9.95 and it's always in my buy it again list

[–] rothaine@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Transition lenses, baybeeee

[–] observantTrapezium@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I'm pretty sure I'm in my fourth pair now.

0, I just wear a hat. Wearing sunglasses makes it look like you're trying too hard to look cool.
