Or, are sunglasses really more for fashion than function?

I suppose if you really think about this could be something of a personality test. When you need some new shades, do you head for that little carousel rack at the neares convience store? ... or are you off to the Mall in search of nearest Ray Ban counter?

I can tell you that I have never set foot in a Sun Glasses Hut, asked to try on a pair of glasses that lived in a mirrored case, or even owned a pair of shades that cost more than $50. Nope, I'm more of a, "hey let's head down to the nearest flea market and find a nice pair of knock-offs", kind of guy.

Do you know why this is?

Because I LOSE STUFF !!!!!

I swear, I don't think I've ever owned a pair of sunglasses that stayed in my posession for more than a couple of months. I either lose them outright, or I do something stupid like leave them in the seat of my car ... where they invariably get sat on and broken.

Why in the world would I pay a couple hundred bucks for something that I'm likely to lose or break anyway?

Tell you what, I'm gonna stick to my plain black hoodie and cheap sunglasses, but for those of you who insist on owning expensive name brand shades, maybe you'll like these:
