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

Five maybe? I lost one nice pair to a wave at the beach, and since then I buy mine at truck stops and dollar stores. It's much less stressful to wear glasses that cost me $1.50 !

Well, I don't wear sunglasses

I can not count. I learned my lesson about buying expensive sunglasses with a single large wave at the beach. I've been buying cheap polarized wayfarer style sunglasses since. Do they break... yes. Does $5 hurt me at this point no

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

Maybe 6. One prescription, and two dollar store pairs. I wear sunglasses pretty much any time I go outside unless there's no sun. Year-round.

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.

0, they're like umbrellas to me, I never bother with them

Probably about three.

I had some cheap (awful) mirror sunglasses back when they were all the rage, and a pair of prescription sunglasses before I started getting reactive lenses. I must have had at least one other pair but those are the only two I remember.

I buy my sunglasses in bulk. I only like one kind, but I want multiple color options. I also break and lose them all the time. I probably have 10 pairs in my car ready to go.

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

I’m more of a hat person. Maybe 3-4?

FIFTY?!

I know exactly because I need prescription.

11. So that's roughly one pair every 4 years. Of which I have 10, one of them is at the bottom of a lake somewhere

One pair every two years, so maybe seven. Estimating of course.

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

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

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.

Why would you have to think about this? Just activate the tism and count them up.

12, if you count transition lenses that I have now.

Like 50. I used to have a ridiculous amount of sunglasses I got given as free merch. Nowadays I just have a prescription pair of sunglasses I replace every few years

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 lose them all the time. Here is what I use now:

They are wraparound, comfortable, shatter resistant, cost $2 a pair when not on sale, and go on sale for $1 a pair fairly often including I think right now.

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.

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.

I need prescription sunglasses, I am on my fourth pair.

Previous pair was made by Persol, current pair was made by Lindberg.

I take great care avoiding sitting on my sunglasses, they are quite expensive

Maybe two or three, I wear glasses and have never had prescription sunglasses, so it's kinda hard to wear them.

I have 5 pairs of Oakley square wire sunglasses that I’ve owned for almost 3 decades. Bought most of them with my first paycheck. I just replace the ear socks and nose pieces, and one pair has replacement lenses. I have never owned any other pairs.

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.

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 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.

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.

One, but they're prescription so I baby the heck out of them.

Who knows how many in my youth. Since then, I've had the one of the two pair I currently have since 2008ish (first time I got vision benefits, they're memory wire) and the other pair I picked up at a thrift store in 96 or 97. The latter is still my favorite.

Something between 3-5

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.

Omg like 13 or some shit 😭

Maybe 5, mine have to be prescription lenses so I can't just lose or break them.

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?

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.

Four?

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

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

Transition lenses, baybeeee

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

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.

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.

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.

380

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

Like 2 in total as a child. After everyone and me realized I was getting blind as a bat before being 10 I started wearing glasses and never used shades again. Another reason I avoid the beach and swimming pools.
