    Get some with color, conservatives are still afraid of being “gay”.

    Or just don’t worry about it.

    Just wear em but then don’t be an asshole. Disarm people. And call out people that assume you’re an asshole and try to talk to you like you’re one of them.

    My partner is bald (not by choice) and white (also not by choice) and he gets racist people assuming he’s racist all the time. Just call em out or make them feel weird if they say some fucked up shit to you.

    Is there a specific reason as to why you want wrap around sunglasses, apart from aestethics?

    I mean if you need to work outdoors and need protection from the sun covering every angle or need protection from wind I can see that they are the only real option…

    But if you are only looking for that kind of sunglasses for the style, I’d encourage you to look for other styles.

    I am very happy with my Persol glasses from five years ago

    Make sure to get the kind without colored reflections. Mirrored might work, if you’re fit. Dark tinted is your best bet.

      Something I learned is that I stopped losing my sunglasses when they cost a fair amount. When I purchase cheap ones and don’t give a shit, they break or are lost, and end up costing more. When I got nicer ones I never lost or broke them. Just a one time payment.

      Now I wear prescription glasses (I did wear contacts), so they’re both expensive and I can’t live without them. Obviously losing or breaking them isn’t something that happens now.

        I also thought that until I lost my pair of very nice Costa Mesas. Luckily I didn’t pay anywhere close to retail, but still, losing a $50 pair fucking hurt.

    I got a pair of oakleys second hand with some bold colors and put purple lenses in them. Guideline being, if the conservative dads would think you’re dressing queer, you’re doing it right!

    My eyes are very sensitive to light, so I’ve been using “Men in Black” - style wraparound sunglasses since the late 90’s.

    I am a dad, but pretty much as far from conservative one can be. Where I live conservative dads do not tend to use these at all.

    Head shape matters. I only wear sports stuff for cycling and do not care what others think of that. My old Smith’s saved an eye once. I only like to ride with frameless because roadie. The cheap Chinese NRC frameless are half decent. They have a full range photochromic version and their plasma metal sputtered coatings are good quality, but the lens shape is a basic flat. People think they are high end but mostly due to my other older riding gear that is very high end. Still, when casual I wear aviators.
