Wearing Your Shades In The Shade


Depending on where you live, sunglasses might or might not be within your possession at all times around the year. But regardless of that, we are all subjected to having to take the sunglasses off at one point or another. The question however is, what to do with said sunglasses at that moment in time?!

Tom Ford I love you!



We can start with what NOT to do!

1. Wearing your sunglasses on your head or on the back of your head

Sunglasses are definitely not a hair accessory boys and girls and therefore should not serve as an improvised headband. Therefore I vote NO to sunglasses on your head.


Wearing them on the back of your head can only have one outcome and that is making you look like a tool. Not only does it not look appealing but in the event your glasses were to slip off the back of your head, how will you ever catch them, eh?!




2. Wearing your sunglasses indoors and at night

Before deciding if this applies to you, please follow this very simple flowchart:



Thankfully, for most of us the answer is NO NO NO. Not only is it tacky but it's quite unsafe especially in darker rooms and at night. 


3. Wearing sunglasses around your neck

Unless you are too old to remember where you left your glasses, there is no excuse for needing your glasses to hang around your neck all day.

No Croakies....EVER!

In the land of TO DO however, the choices are less flexible.

1. Hanging your sunglasses on the neck of your t-shirt/blouse


Though not the most stylish way to don your sunglasses in times of shade, hanging it on your top garment is a much better option than any of the NOT to do ones. Just don't forget to hold your glasses when bending !



2. Putting your glasses in your front pocket


By far the best and most stylish way to sport sunglasses other than on your eyes is to slip them into your coat/t-shirt's front pocket,  remembering to orient them lens inward!
