    Just wear em but then don’t be an asshole. Disarm people. And call out people that assume you’re an asshole and try to talk to you like you’re one of them.

    My partner is bald (not by choice) and white (also not by choice) and he gets racist people assuming he’s racist all the time. Just call em out or make them feel weird if they say some fucked up shit to you.

    These wrap around sunglass wont make you look like a conservative dad. And for only $1,500, you too can not look like a conservative dad.

    Yes, there are REALLY $1,500. A bargin if you ask me.

    I got a pair of oakleys second hand with some bold colors and put purple lenses in them. Guideline being, if the conservative dads would think you’re dressing queer, you’re doing it right!

    Get some with color, conservatives are still afraid of being “gay”.

    Or just don’t worry about it.

        i was mildly embarrassed about wearing my (black) pair of fitovers around until two seperate young people complimented them and then i realized they are old looking enough to be sort of retro!

        now that i know they are Certified Cool i strut in em 😎

      OK, my answer to this was going to be “no” but these actually look cool. I hate those modern ones the kids wear. They’re ugly (in my opinion), expensive, and made out of cheap materials. These have a similar vibe, but like they’re made by someone who understand style, instead of thinking something that stands out is style. Looking at the review pictures though, they definitely do T work for everyone. In particular, they look best with people with darker hair/skin. The blonde pale women I think it looks weird on.

      I’m a 31 year old man though. Don’t take my opinion on style.

      Something I learned is that I stopped losing my sunglasses when they cost a fair amount. When I purchase cheap ones and don’t give a shit, they break or are lost, and end up costing more. When I got nicer ones I never lost or broke them. Just a one time payment.

      Now I wear prescription glasses (I did wear contacts), so they’re both expensive and I can’t live without them. Obviously losing or breaking them isn’t something that happens now.

        I also thought that until I lost my pair of very nice Costa Mesas. Luckily I didn’t pay anywhere close to retail, but still, losing a $50 pair fucking hurt.
