After accidentally sitting on my favorite pair today and destroying them, it got me wondering how many pair of shades I’ve owned in my lifetime.

I’m just gonna go with a round number and say about 50. I only buy cheap sunglasses btw

I've owned five, but have worn/used three.

First pair from age 13 or 14 through to 17. Second pair from 17 until 24. Third pair has seen daily use for over 14 years.

I have replaced the lenses in my third pair once, and have a couple of pairs of spare lenses if the need arises. I already have my next two pairs of sunglasses, bought them maybe eight years ago, just in case.

This doesn't include tinted safety glasses that I wear at work, I usually only get an average of 6-8 months out of those.

Impressive. Sounds like you take your sunglasses game very seriously - especially if you have some on lock down for the future.

I just like the idea of never having to buy another pair of sunglasses. If the next two pairs last as long as my current pair, they should outlast me.
