Why do people like sunglasses so much?


I will never understand this. I like to be able to see, when is it ever that sunny that you would want to diminish your vision and have something sitting on your face? The only reason I still wear them occasionally is for style and when I’m fishing the polarization can be helpful. But people wear them like they do watches, like they’re essential.

I wear them all the time, even at night

..cos when you cool, the sun shine on you 24hrs a day!

I get Ray-Ban to make me prescription sunglasses and I have about half a dozen pairs of Teardrop Aviators. I'd wear them 24/7 if I could.

I have the Rayban Wayfarer Classics, black w blue mirror I wear them when it’s nice out but only for style, I can’t see as well in them

I really doubt that many people wear sunglasses as much as you say. But I wear them if it's sunny enough.

Don't forget, if you misplace them, just try and think where Future You would leave them so you'll eventually find them.

Where do you live? Here in the US South the sun will cook the eyeballs right out of your head.

My eyes! The googles do nothing!

Maybe you are all homosexuals!

Sometimes it is sunny enough that I want to take that glare off and then, yes, I put on sunglasses. They protect my eyes from getting punched by light. They don't lower my vision that much - in fact, when it's that bright out, they make me able to see better. I don't really mind having something on my face, either.

They do miracles to your face hehe if You wear the right ones.

If you have a round face your sunglasses can make it look less round or if you have a long Face the right shape of sunglasses can make it look not that long.

Sunglasses make our features more proportionate. You just have to find the right ones.

Another thing they make us feel more confident, given is the vibe we are Hollywood stars
