Cool Sunglasses - When Not to Wear Them

As with most anything else in life, there is a time and place for wearing cool sunglasses. And I am sure most people would agree that it's very sensible to protect your eyes with some crazy cool sunglasses. Still, there are times and places that your sunglasses are not appropriate attire. I know it sounds preposterous but it is definitely the truth.

The etiquette of eye wear is not a topic that is often discussed. What etiquette of eye wear? I have got to be kidding, right? No, there actually are times when it is outright rude and discourteous to have on your shades or more correctly stated your cool sunglasses.

Wearing sunglasses indoors anywhere is almost always not appropriate, unless you have some sort of extra sensitivity to light. But people are still going to think you are a little odd and look at you funny. (I know that's not grammatically correct but it gets my point across.) Besides, when someone is trying to carry on a conversation with you and they're not sure if you're even paying attention to them...well that's a sure turn off and downright rude.

Consider what a pair of sunglasses is meant to do for you. They are designed to shield your eyes from the ultra violet rays of the sun and make it more comfortable for you to see when you're outside - the key word here being, outside. Why would you want to wear them indoors or at night? Yep, there are people who wear their sunglasses at night, not a good thing.

Think about this-in a social gathering or setting, people will presumably strike up conversations with others they find interesting. It can be difficult to approach a new person and say hello when that person is wearing dark, reflecting sunglasses.

Therefore when you are attending outdoor functions consider wearing sunglasses with more of the see through type lenses. You will look more approachable and maybe even make some new friends.

So to recap then, do not wear your sunglasses indoors or at night. Do wear your sunglasses outside. But try not to wear dark dark sunglasses when you are at an outdoor social gathering or function so you will seem more friendly and approachable.

However, if you are like my dad was you will read the suggestions in this article and then just keep right on wearing your sunglasses anytime, anywhere and in any weather.
