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

[–] original_reader@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yup. Lean into the MCM styling.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Make sure to get the kind without colored reflections. Mirrored might work, if you’re fit. Dark tinted is your best bet.

I wear these Ray-Bans with Costco's transition driveway lenses.

[–] ordinarylove@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

i would clock those as conservative dad

no offense to you or your style lilbokchoy

[–] LilB0kChoy@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

No offense taken. I picked them because they fit the most comfortably for me.

My wife says I look like I'm on vacation this time of year because of how I dress in addition to the sunglasses.

My eyes are very sensitive to light, so I've been using "Men in Black" - style wraparound sunglasses since the late 90's.

I am a dad, but pretty much as far from conservative one can be. Where I live conservative dads do not tend to use these at all.

The old man sunglasses from the 90s that go over your prescription glasses

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Heatwaves, you look like a conservative that left their family.

wear thick linens and shaggy hair with beaded necklaces and you'll look more like a "guy who wont give his name" than any particular affiliation

[–] FinishingDutch@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone remotely fitting that description wearing a pair of these…

I stopped wearing sunglasses because it's the look of fascism. Also no red ball caps as well. I don't see my flag in the same light anymore either because of these people.

You have a flag?

I don't know man, I feel like patriotism is a racket. Why buy into it?

Head shape matters. I only wear sports stuff for cycling and do not care what others think of that. My old Smith's saved an eye once. I only like to ride with frameless because roadie. The cheap Chinese NRC frameless are half decent. They have a full range photochromic version and their plasma metal sputtered coatings are good quality, but the lens shape is a basic flat. People think they are high end but mostly due to my other older riding gear that is very high end. Still, when casual I wear aviators.

Wrap arounds a read as speed dealer to me.

[–] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Get over yourself. Nobody is looking at what glasses you're wearing.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep and they're also looking at the New Balance shoes and rumpled size 46 Kirkland pants
