I love them and I always wear them! I feel weird when I don't have them on when the sun is out.

My whole family loves sunglasses, even our 2 year old. We basically all have them whenever we go outside. B insists on taking a pair to daycare every day and freaks out if the teachers forget to get them when he goes outside.

I feel like sun in my eyes is 10X more the hassle than sunglasses (or the perceived hassle)

I never thought it was a hassle before because I was surrounded by people who always wore them (like I did). But since I've moved to countries where people don't wear them as often, I've been super self-conscious about wearing them while talking to someone. It started when I lived in Asia where it was almost considered rude to have them on while talking to elders. Now that I live in Sweden and because it's hardly ever sunny (lol), no one really wears them. Even during the summer when the sun is out from morning to night, it's rarely sunny the whole day. No one close to me wears them (except for DD for fun) and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I also find them to be a hassle.

@mrbee: I don't think I can ever shake that rudeness factor! Even when my mom and aunts visited me, I kept taking them off to talk to them!

Eta: And they don't find it rude!

@mrbee: You should get those bungee cord things so they can just hang around your neck when you don't need/want to wear them!

I always do! I can't see in bright lights!

I wear prescription sunglasses.

Hmm. I guess there's no hassle for me because I just push them up on my head to talk to people. Like a headband. But maybe that's not a guy thing?

I have sensitive eyes, so I need them. I always splurge and get polarized glasses. I don't find them to be a hassle.

I wear mine all the time, and never find it to be a hassle. But I carry a purse, so there's no worries about where to put them when I don't wear them.

I have a non-cancerous tumour inside one of my eyes, and I'd like it to stay that way, so I'm very protective of my eyes. I buy glasses that don't have nose pads, so I just put them up on my head if I want to take them off when interacting with someone.

@mrbee: I developed the habit while living in Florida and now I can't leave home without them. I don't find sunny vs cloudy to be any different, it's still bright when it's cloudy, even more so in a different way. I felt self conscious when I moved back to an area where people didn't wear them as much or mostly only in the summer cause they see sunglasses as a fashion thing. But it's not like it's bright only in the summer and these people are squinting while I'm not so now I couldn't care less. I used to always hang them on the front of my shirt but I dropped them a lot this way so now I keep them in a case in my purse. For you I'd attach cords, I've seen that in plenty of men I work with. They sell them in plain black neoprene type material too. FYI polarized lenses reduce glare.
