Now, these are something we can still wear in these COVID times & they're extra protection too!
What style(s) do you like?
So, how many pairs do you have?
How much do you normally spend on them?
What brands do you like?
Other comments?
I like the oversized style, aviators, & some cat-eye. which I've started liking the last 10 yrs.
I haven't counted but probably have about 20-25 pairs. (I haven't bought any since COVID.)
I like to generally spend about $50 - 75, but I've spent more on a few & try to get pricier ones on sale.
I have quite 2-4 pairs of Tom Fords, Wildfox, Michael Kors, Ray-Bans, & Carreras. Then, various others: DVF, Balenciaga, etc.
I like a certain style of Tyche & Iset, but it's pricey: Moderator cut: advertising link removed

I only have 3 pairs..BUT I don't keep them for more than a season or two. IMO oversized styles are hard to wear right now with a mask tho...
I have 4 pairs. I prefer Maui Jim, but do have a pair of Ray Bans as well. The MJs are around $175-250/pair. My titanium pair was probably closer to $300. I have a hard time with any pair of glasses with a mask. The lenses tend to fog on me. So when I get out of my car, I don't take the sunglasses with me. So only wear them when driving or running.
Prescription glasses with transitions lenses and magnetic clip on polarized shades for driving. Before I wore prescription glasses my sunglasses were bought at a drug store or discount department stores. Why bother paying more for something that gets lost or broken within a year.
Probably about 1/4 - 1/2 of my sunglasses are back at my parents' house. I only took the main ones I wanted to wear.

Really, I think they're great w/ the mask! The bottom of the sunglasses help hold down the top of the mask & there's no opening or showing of skin (between the bottom on the lens & top of the mask).

I like some Mauii Jims, but never bought any of thsoe so far. But I would!
I have a healthy inventory with mix of makes but its not for want of a particular make/style. I buy the .99 to $4.99 cent sunglasses at one of the local closeout stores. I prefer a mix of wraparound and aviator type styles (nicest I like are foster grant).
I like functionality and redundancy, so I keep 3-4 in my motor vehicle, about 3 at my place of work, and pair in most every light weight jacket by season (another 3-4 in use). I have an inventory of another 6-7 on a bookshelf for replacing as they break or occasionally are lost.
I got an expensive pair (maybe $30-40) years ago (I think they were rayban wraparound), a work colleague borrowed them and then lost them at a corporate event. I don't like wasting my money on them, so the large inventory of inexpensive variety makes life easier. I do have another pair I like for when I vacation as they are smaller (Gargoyles) that are cool looking and also tried and still have a pair of those Eagle Eyes marketed ones from years ago - they were made well and have aluminum case.

The no showing of skin is the super weird part IMO.....the oversized lenses can even come down over the mask a little & they don't sit right & if you have a small bridge...the closer in it touches or overlaps. It's super nerdy looking...JMO tho...so I use my super fun cat eye sunglasses with smaller lenses for now. I hate masks....but....what are we going to do?
If your mask is on right tho......it won't need holding down. Have a sunny day!
