I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

Real π
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
The old man sunglasses from the 90s that go over your prescription glasses
I wear these Ray-Bans with Costco's transition driveway lenses.
i would clock those as conservative dad
no offense to you or your style lilbokchoy
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.
Those are the most generic sunglasses I can imagine. I'm pretty certain they don't say anything.
Julbo cycling glasses. They're also the best tint changing lens out there, but pricey, very pricey. They'll look sport-dorky, which is it's own weird vibe. I have these (got them on big sale) for cycling, hiking, and mountaineering. They have a non "cover" version that's more normal looking, too.
You do end up looking like Adam Jensen though.
Well, Adam Jensen with a fancy new beak aug.
No.
Just don't wear them with a red hat.
Oh hell yeah!
Honestly I don't care, I wear what I think looks good on me.
In my case though it's my regular glasses + transitions because I can't see shit without them.
Costco (maybe others too) have these new transition sunglasses and they work through your polarized windshield.
Basically they start out with a light tint but get darker depending on the amount of direct sunlight. I really love them because I don't have to switch going in and out of stores or whatever and I can wear them when it's partly cloudy without feeling like it's night out when under cloud cover.
That's what I have, got my new glasses last month. Even got a dark-greenish tint when darken.

Get some with color, conservatives are still afraid of being "gay".
Or just don't worry about it.
I didn't even know sunglasses did that. Remember that when you're out in the real world you aren't on social media. Go ahead and wear whatever you want.
No
Wear whatever you want and try not to care about what other people think of it.
super cool
OK, my answer to this was going to be "no" but these actually look cool. I hate those modern ones the kids wear. They're ugly (in my opinion), expensive, and made out of cheap materials. These have a similar vibe, but like they're made by someone who understand style, instead of thinking something that stands out is style. Looking at the review pictures though, they definitely do T work for everyone. In particular, they look best with people with darker hair/skin. The blonde pale women I think it looks weird on.
I'm a 31 year old man though. Don't take my opinion on style.
Or the answer to what a lab tech wears to the beach.
i was mildly embarrassed about wearing my (black) pair of fitovers around until two seperate young people complimented them and then i realized they are old looking enough to be sort of retro!
now that i know they are Certified Cool i strut in em π
Time is a wheel. I mean fashion, fashion is a wheel.
Or a set of leavers connected to a pulley.
Just wear em but then don't be an asshole. Disarm people. And call out people that assume you're an asshole and try to talk to you like you're one of them.
My partner is bald (not by choice) and white (also not by choice) and he gets racist people assuming he's racist all the time. Just call em out or make them feel weird if they say some fucked up shit to you.

Short answer? No.
Long answer? Nooooooooo.
Wrap arounds a read as speed dealer to me.
Not polarized. Boo

I got a pair of oakleys second hand with some bold colors and put purple lenses in them. Guideline being, if the conservative dads would think youβre dressing queer, youβre doing it right!
