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
Couldn’t tell you how many I had as a little kid, but I’ve probably gone through about 2-3 a year since I was about 16
One time I treated myself to a pair of Oakley’s i found an an REI garage sale, thinking maybe more expensive sunglasses would hold up better or I’d keep better track of them.
They got dropped and stepped on within about a week
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’m more of a hat person. Maybe 3-4?
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.
Maybe two or three, I wear glasses and have never had prescription sunglasses, so it’s kinda hard to wear them.
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.
Something between 3-5
2 as a child, both lost to time. 4 as an adult, but they are all prescription so I keep track of them and treat them well. 1 of the 4 is so old and banged up it sits in a drawer as a backup, the rest get used to varying degrees.
One, I think?
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.
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 buy them in 3 packs on Amazon. $9.95 and it’s always in my buy it again list
380
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.
