If eyes are the window to a man’s soul, then sunglasses are the blinds. Lame! That may be true but keep the philosophical talk for your poli-sci grad school happy hour. Eyewear is a necessity. They serve a practical function, keeping the sun out of our eyes, and subsequently limiting the crow’s-feet next to them (yeah squinting brings that on). They also come in handy when you’re hungover as shit, and want to fake looking like a useful member of society on a Saturday morning.
What’s the take-away? Don’t get caught without shades. To ensure this, own a few pairs. If your bank account can warrant some costly specs x quantity, more power to you. But for the rest of us, we like to mix our high dollar sunnies intermittently with super affordable ones. After all, do you really want to wear those $200 Supers to Saturday’s barcrawl where you’ll most likely lose not only your sunglasses but also your wallet and self-respect? We didn’t think so.
