But who the fuck genuinely looks at Oakleys and thinks, yeah that’s a cool look that doesn’t make me look completely out of touch with basically every part of the modern day
I mean, they’re sunglasses. Probably way overpriced for what they are. But they’re something to keep the sun out of your eyes when you’re out fishing or working outside or whatever. What would be the alternative to that kind of “sport” style, or aviators?
Tbf aviators are a classic style that doesn’t fall into the same category IMO, if you dress appropriately for the look (and have the right shaped head for them ofc, there’s not really a one-style-fits-all for sunnies), aviators can look pretty good
The other main versatile style you see a lot is the wayfarer kind popularised by Ray-Ban
I prefer to appreciate all the little ways these people telegraph that they’re just absolute shit so you don’t even have to interact with them in the slightest
I was thinking about getting the Oakleys that are UV and impact protection for my workbench (and if I’m somewhere where I need to worry about something landing in my eye), but I’d probably never wear them for fashion.
I’m a middle-aged white guy and hate that I can’t wear the wraparound douche bag shades. They’re the most comfortable and practical for outdoor activities.

I don’t mean for anyone here to catch a stray

I have wrap-around sunglasses because my commute is north-south and I don’t like the sun coming into my eyes from the side.
I’m also losing hair due to genetics.
Apparently this makes me look like a bigot.
I know it’s because of genetics for me, but man sometimes do I wonder if my diet/life choices have done nothing but get me there faster.

And whether you buy Oakleys or Ray-Bans, they’re owned by the same company. Hurray capitalism!
My Maui Jims got bought by some giant fashion Corp and I’m heartbroken

Oakleys were cool when they were in high school. They stopped updating their worldview when they graduated (or, more likely, dropped out).
Note: I am old and I also wear sunglasses that are probably cringe. I don’t wear them in my profile photos, though.

Better coverage of cowardice

They make more conventional looking stuff too. I have some non-sunglasses from them.
Well Mark Zuckerberg apparently does.
Which of course only supports your point.
