How to not be a d-bag when you buy new sunglasses
May 11, 2011 | Posted by Craig LePan
I thought these points were common knowledge but after witnessing a guy try on 249 pairs of shades in a department store I thought maybe this was worth sharing.
- Never try on more than 3 pairs | If you want to buy sunglasses like a RockStar, look at your options, try 1 pair on and go pay for them. If you haven't found the right pair after 3 tries... leave immediately. If you can try on only 1 pair and make your purchase, I don't care what kind they are or how ugly they are, you'll be cooler because of it.
- Decision time | When you try on a pair of sunglasses you've got 3 seconds to decide if they are for you. If you are checking your profile, or striking poses you run the risk of someone walking up and punching you. (And they would be in the right for doing it.) Even if you have to ask your girlfriend what she thinks, you're in dangerous territory.
- Only try the Sunglasses on your eyes | If you are checking to see if the shades sit on your hat or the top of your head you're immediately a douche. Dont' even get me started about resting them backwards on your neck.
- Brands | Nothing against Oakely, but there are a lot of other options out there. Here are some to check out.
Let me know of any other notable brands to add to the list and of course any other d-bag sunglass shopper sightings out there. Most of all: Don't be a douche.
