How many pairs of sunglasses do you think you've owned in your lifetime? - eviltoast

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’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.
