These wrap around sunglass wont make you look like a conservative dad. And for only $1,500, you too can not look like a conservative dad.

Yes, there are REALLY $1,500. A bargin if you ask me.

What the Leeloo's suspenders are those?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

These are, and Im dead serious here, $1500 Oakley's.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 minutes ago

You're not allowed to wear those unless you shave your head and put on a jump suit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

I wear these Ray-Bans with Costco's transition driveway lenses.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

i would clock those as conservative dad

no offense to you or your style lilbokchoy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

No offense taken. I picked them because they fit the most comfortably for me.

My wife says I look like I'm on vacation this time of year because of how I dress in addition to the sunglasses.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 22 hours ago

Those are the most generic sunglasses I can imagine. I'm pretty certain they don't say anything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Julbo cycling glasses. They're also the best tint changing lens out there, but pricey, very pricey. They'll look sport-dorky, which is it's own weird vibe. I have these (got them on big sale) for cycling, hiking, and mountaineering. They have a non "cover" version that's more normal looking, too.

wear thick linens and shaggy hair with beaded necklaces and you'll look more like a "guy who wont give his name" than any particular affiliation

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

Just don't wear them with a red hat.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago

Wear whatever you want and try not to care about what other people think of it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

The old man sunglasses from the 90s that go over your prescription glasses

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

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

Or just don't worry about it.

OK, my answer to this was going to be "no" but these actually look cool. I hate those modern ones the kids wear. They're ugly (in my opinion), expensive, and made out of cheap materials. These have a similar vibe, but like they're made by someone who understand style, instead of thinking something that stands out is style. Looking at the review pictures though, they definitely do T work for everyone. In particular, they look best with people with darker hair/skin. The blonde pale women I think it looks weird on.

I'm a 31 year old man though. Don't take my opinion on style.

Or the answer to what a lab tech wears to the beach.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i was mildly embarrassed about wearing my (black) pair of fitovers around until two seperate young people complimented them and then i realized they are old looking enough to be sort of retro!

now that i know they are Certified Cool i strut in em 😎

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Time is a wheel. I mean fashion, fashion is a wheel.

Or a set of leavers connected to a pulley.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Honestly I don't care, I wear what I think looks good on me.

In my case though it's my regular glasses + transitions because I can't see shit without them.

I stopped wearing sunglasses because it's the look of fascism. Also no red ball caps as well. I don't see my flag in the same light anymore either because of these people.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

guys is it fascist to protect your own eyes from sunlight

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

I don't see my flag in the same light anymore either because of these people.

You have a flag?

I don't know man, I feel like patriotism is a racket. Why buy into it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Took you long enough. I haven't seen my flag in the same light since Reagan.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I didn't even know sunglasses did that. Remember that when you're out in the real world you aren't on social media. Go ahead and wear whatever you want.
