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.

Wear whatever you want and try not to care about what other people think of it.

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.

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

Or just don't worry about it.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

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!

how about some see through red ones that are too small for your head

[–] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

I don’t know if these particular ones are actual sunglasses or toys, but I have some in that style that are proper polarised sunglasses; they certainly don’t look conservative.

Julbo cycling glasses. They're also the best tint changing lens out there, but pricey, very pricey. They'll look sport-dorky, which is it's own weird vibe. I have these (got them on big sale) for cycling, hiking, and mountaineering. They have a non "cover" version that's more normal looking, too.

You do end up looking like Adam Jensen though.

Well, Adam Jensen with a fancy new beak aug.

Hum, you will need to transition first...

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I don't see that lens option.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

i would say oooo yeeeeaaah and rip my tiddies off like randy savage

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

Is there a specific reason as to why you want wrap around sunglasses, apart from aestethics?

I mean if you need to work outdoors and need protection from the sun covering every angle or need protection from wind I can see that they are the only real option...

But if you are only looking for that kind of sunglasses for the style, I'd encourage you to look for other styles.

I am very happy with my Persol glasses from five years ago

Any time I see people wearing these, my first thought is that these are "high-speed, BJ glasses"

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I didn't even know sunglasses did that. Remember that when you're out in the real world you aren't on social media. Go ahead and wear whatever you want.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Honestly I don't care, I wear what I think looks good on me.

In my case though it's my regular glasses + transitions because I can't see shit without them.

"Conservative Dad" can look quite fashionable if done right.

Probably not, how much do you look like a dad?
