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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Three. One lost, one broken, one in my drawer.

Thinking about making it four, three doesn't work with some outfits.
