Is it acceptable to sport sunglasses atop your head?
The Dawn of Sunglasses Season: Navigating the Dilemma of Storing Your Shades
Every sunny daybreak triggers excitement for the approaching summer vacation. Yet, an unaddressed predicament lurks: where to keep your sunglasses when they're not upon your visage.
Some folks blithely shove their shades into their breast pocket, oblivious to the potential slip-ups. Others force them against their shirt collar, contorting their garments. A few seventh-graders wear them like necklaces, swinging into maturity. The audacious choice for some is to balance them precariously upon their brow, like a precarious headband.
This arrangement, needless to say, isn't without its repercussions. Placed in such a teetering position, the sunglasses transform into a makeshift headband, pulling back hair and exposing unsightly roots or stimulating a cowlick.
Catastrophe
For those who bald, the effect is even more appalling. With prolonged sun exposure leading to a tan line, it verges on catastrophe. While there's a certain charm to life's impromptu wardrobe choices (imagine a motorcyclist sticking a pack of cigarettes into his rolled sleeve), the sunglasses-on-head trick undeniably falls into the unflattering category.
Those instances of improvised fashion are endearing. But those who sport the unstable perched sunglasses tread a chic precipice. A wobbling spectacle will send each culprit on a stylistic nosedive. Leaving our original question still unanswered: where to store your sunglasses when they're not suited up?
Placing them in a safe hiding spot is a viable option, but immobility might be a drawback. Storing them in a pouch designed for the purpose is a secure technique, but requires logistical finesse and mental energy.
However, the most pragmatic solution seems to be slipping them into the inner pocket of a jacket. It's not perfect, especially for those who eschew jackets, but it's the sanest option we have for now.
