I have 14 pairs of glasses. FOURTEEN! Allow me to introduce you.
A thread.

These are my classic Ray-Bans. They are the most expensive pair I own (and they aren't that pricey).
BEST FOR literally any outfit or occasion. These are my ride-or-die

These are my imitation Ray-Bans. These were really inexpensive. They are very lightweight. The thick plastic temples make them pretty comfortable.

The Clark Kent-ey pair above were so inexpensive that I bought the exact same pair in a brighter color. I have not worked up the nerve to wear these in public yet.

These are blue light blockers. They sit on my nightstand and I wear them in the evenings.
BEST FOR going down an embarrassing rabbit hole of cyberstalking a TikTok celeb after 2am. You may be obsessive or insane, but at least the blue light is blocked!

This is my other clear frames. They are the cheaper version of the previous. They are very very light.

This is a lot of look. I know. I bought these while in quarantine, so I've yet to wear them in public.
BEST FOR grabbing a Chipotle burrito near campus wearing a college hoodie. "Don't I know you from my political science class?"

The only wire-frames in my collection.
BEST FOR asking strangers in the park if they can help you find your lost puppy. "He was just here a minute ago. Let's go check by my van."

The front of this frame is tortoiseshell and the temples are turquoise.
BEST FOR a plain outfit. Now sit down and shut up. These glasses do the talking

This pair gets a lot of wear. I went cheap and skipped the anti-glare and I regret that.

There's nothing too special about these. I sort of got them as a back-up just in case something ever happens to my Ray-Bans.
BEST FOR when you want to give the pressure points of your favorite pairs a rest
