I’ve also lost a pair of RBs that I had for like ten years, some aviators, in Central Park. Fuck

i always lost cheap sunglasses. when i finally bought expensive ones it made me care about them enough that i never lost them. this strategy may not work for everyone.

cheap sunglasses are not protective, better to squint

I have a pair of black Wayfairer Original Classics that I've had for 11 years. They are now several prescriptions old and don't have progressive lenses that I now need so I mostly wear them to play ultimate. Thinking of getting something new, but not sure what.

My wife's theory is that the more you pay for your sunglasses, the less likely you are to lose them, but I suspect that shifts on a case by case basis. I do know that I love my Ray-Bans, which may be only the third pair of sunglasses I've ever owned. Because I did lose the previous ones (in very exotic locales!).
Though did I lose them? I know exactly where they are/were, they were just irretrievable, so I suppose not so much lost as lost, as in, "lost to the sea." I have a friend who used to own the exact same style of glasses as me who dropped them in a music festival porta-potty. He said for a split second he debated fishing them out somehow. That's the downside of paying more for glasses.

Has it been discussed here yet that, when ostentatiously checking out somebody who has just entered the room, whether it is cooler to lift one's sunglasses up, or down?

A sunny day almost spring and everyone is wearing sunglassesDoes everyone have them like perched somewhere by their front door for easy access for today? Maybe I’m not in the routine or something
