More than one pair of sunglasses??

I've been wearing the same sunglasses since university (Rayban Clubmasters). I'm getting some Rayban Aviators for my birthday this month (gold frame, brown lenses, see pic) but I've started lusting over their Hexagon sunglasses in silver/dark green (in photo).

Would I be crazy to get a second pair? Do I justify it based on the fact they they look completely different??

They do look different!

I only have one pair as I look crap in nearly all sunglasses and it was hard enough finding any. DH has about 5 or 6 pairs, he looks amazing in all of them and is always telling me keep trying and have options. But I’m stuck with my face and I’m clumsy as anything so I’ve usually sat on them or left them somewhere by the end of the summer and there’s no point.

If you love them and they’ll make you happy, go for it! Smile

No way I've got 3 pairs of Ray Bans, I find they each suit a different look. Love my club masters, I want the round clubmasters next!

Anne I have a small face so I have trouble finding sunglasses too!

Kit I have the tortoise shell / gold clubmasters. I really like them but I think the screws have gone - I can't tighten the frames anymore so they fall down my nose. Are all of your sunglasses very different?

I have 6 or 7 pairs of sunglasses but that's because I'm a) very light sensitive and b) very forgetful so if I'm ever out without sunnies, I need to buy more. I have pairs stashed all over the place as a 'just in case'. Mine are all super cheap ones though. But you definitely need more than one pair in my view.

I've got wayfarers and aviators .. fronds what mood I'm in !!

I've got 2 pairs and it's not enough. I need at least 2 more! I keep wearing them into the house from the car and forgetting to take them back out. Or bunging them in my handbag and then leaving said bag at home. They're never where i am!

I love rayban wayfarers. All the sunglasses i ever buy are versions of this style. Or nice big 'celeb' glasses Grin

I love aviators on everyone else but they make me look sulky.

I wear Rayban Wayfarer IIs.
Vintage ones from the 50's & 60's, not the modern abominations with 'Rayban' etched into the lens.
Been picking them up for years from Ebay, Boot Sales, Charity Shops etc. Must have got a dozen or so pairs now, that's just about enough to cover all my needs!

rightknockered · 28/06/2018 22:18

I have two pairs of Raybans aviators and a pair of Wayferers, and a pair of vintage Dior cats eye sunglasses. Mostly wear the aviators because they're best for driving and forget to take other pairs out with me. They live in my handbags and a pair in my car. Could do with some more really

I have lots, but none of them cost more than about £5. This is because I'm always losing them so I'm not willing to spend more.

Bramble71 · 28/06/2018 23:17

Have as many as you like! Mine aren't all designer ones, but I justify having quite z few pairs by saying I need to keep them in my various bags/the house/the car etc.

happytobemrsg · 29/06/2018 16:14

I went ahead & ordered some new sunnies 😎Not the ones in my OP, but still very different to the aviators

I have Wayfarers and round Clubmasters with mirrored lenses but the Wayfarers are ones I carry around in my bag all the time. I have loads of pairs of sunglasses including a ridiculously overpriced pair of Tom Ford's which languish in their box at the back of a cupboard. But nothing beats my Ray Bans.
