Purely personal minority opinion alert:

I KNOW few will agree with me here, but hanging your sunglasses on the front collar of your shirt screams douche to me, just as wrapping your sweater around your waist by tying the arms together and/or wearing a "decorative" scarf/kerchief around your neck does.

It's a purely subjective bias on my part, I know . . . you f*cking douche! :awe:

ngl, I feel a little douchy doing it, but the practicality is indisputable.

Top of my head, although I often just leave them in the car. I want to punch people that wear them on the back of their neck or head in the face.

If I don't leave them in the car, I'll hang them from the shirt collar in the front or if I have cargo pockets on a pair of shorts, I'll throw them into one of them.

Top of my head. My Oakleys have a nice, snug fit on my head, so I can do a handstand and they still won't fall off.

I wear a gold chain around my neck and just hang the sunglasses from the chain. If I bend down, the chain also falls forward, angling the sunglasses forward at the perfect angle so they dont fall, but sway from the front of my neck.

I put them in a case in my shirt pocket. When at the table, I put them on the table with my keys. That way I won't leave behind as I ain't going nowhere without my keys.

Mine stay in my car sunglasses compartment because I pretty much only wear them in the car.

i just wear them until its dark outside. i wear them while shopping, running errands and everything. only time i take them off is when i get home, work or sit down to eat. and half the time ill eat with them on. they take a beating for the most part, have a few war scars on them as it is.

Sunglasses on front collar (basically cleavage) is the only place to put it usually. Sometimes you lack pockets (like Jeans would crush them) completely.

Sweater around waist is perfectly practical, for taking off a sweater when it is getting too warm and having no where to put it.

Scarves are useless unless you are walking around in -10 degree winter. They are always douchey on men unless you are in said condition. Women wear lots of decorative stuff so I don't even question it.

Hanging from the front of my collar, with the lenses inside my shirt. Glasses sit between my shirt and undershirt and do not fall out or get smudged or scratched.

Front collar or I just leave them on... Most fucking stores and shit are too bright inside anyway, and Your eyes revel and lot about yourself, leaving them on keeps my eyes hidden from people seeing my eyes, provides me with personal "space"... People also sometimes take you as stuck up and leave you alone or stay out of your way. If it's a Restaurant I will wear them in and remove them and collar them or put them on the table.

I've got perscription sunglasses so I have to leave them on or else I can't see shit :) It's just easier to leave them on than try to juggle two pairs of glasses. Plus I want them on when I walk outside into the blinding light...so yeah...I'm that guy who is also wearing sunglasses in the grocery store and while eating my value menu 5 piece chicken nuggets and double stack.

On my head if I'm wearing a shirt without a pocket. In my shirt pocket if I have one.

If I'm sitting down to eat at a place and they're on my head I take them off and set them on the table.

Apparently I am the only person who hangs them on the outside of my front pants pocket in the same way that you would hang them on your shirt collar.

I would but my prescription glasses are too expensive to risk!
