I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone remotely fitting that description wearing a pair of these…

These wrap around sunglass wont make you look like a conservative dad. And for only $1,500, you too can not look like a conservative dad.
Yes, there are REALLY $1,500. A bargin if you ask me.
Instead you can be a techno-authoritarian autocrat thats plans are constantly ruined by an annoying blue hedgehog
What the Leeloo's suspenders are those?
These are, and Im dead serious here, $1500 Oakley's.
You're not allowed to wear those unless you shave your head and put on a jump suit.
Tbh if you were to wear those and a lab coat, shaved head and a mustache you’d be a very, very crazy scientist
You are so right, I forgot about the mustache. But its got to be something like a horseshoe or a really big handlebar. Muttonchops might work too.
Alexa, play Darude - Sandstorm
😭😭
No
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.
Wear whatever you want and try not to care about what other people think of it.

Short answer? No.
Long answer? Nooooooooo.
Get some with color, conservatives are still afraid of being "gay".
Or just don't worry about it.
Oh hell yeah!
Make sure to get the kind without colored reflections. Mirrored might work, if you’re fit. Dark tinted is your best bet.
My eyes are very sensitive to light, so I've been using "Men in Black" - style wraparound sunglasses since the late 90's.
I am a dad, but pretty much as far from conservative one can be. Where I live conservative dads do not tend to use these at all.
super cool
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 😎

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.
No.
Just don't wear them with a red hat.
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.
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 you’re dressing queer, you’re doing it right!
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.

Nope, what you seek is impossible
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.
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
Those are the most generic sunglasses I can imagine. I'm pretty certain they don't say anything.
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.
