Guys wearing florescent orange or yellow knee high socks with Adidas slides and shorts that was all over a few years ago.
Dudes setting flat billed hats on top of their head way too high.
Yeti stickers on trucks. Glad you like your cooler dude.
Repping brands. Like tshirts that say Oakley or under armor on them. Why are you wearing a shirt that says under armour, but isn’t the actual under armour? You paid them to advertise for them you rube. Seeing Oakley gear kills me, I have very in depth inside knowledge of the optical industry, and Oakley’s aren’t even good glasses. You paid too much for the privilege of looking like a tool.

Please elaborate, because so do I and not only disagree with you, I have data to prove that Oakley are better. And I don’t even own any, nor care to buy them.
I’m a licensed advanced optician that owns three practices, I’ve designed and manufactured my own line of frames, I’ve helped design progressive lens forms, I have taught classes at eight out of the last 12 vision expo’s. My capture rate of every premium product sale is miles above the national averages.
The only brand I call in more warranties in on than Oakley is Nike. Their zyl frames use plastic rivets that regularly snap and can’t be tightened. The temples stretch out over time, which is normal and wouldn’t be an issue except the metals use either single bar spring hinges that will keep loosening or monel flat rivets that can’t be replaced.
They are not the worst brand by any means, but if you think you’re paying for anything other than the name, you’ve been sold.
I work in acquisition, and without doxxing myself or violating NDAs, I can see they test their materials to a better standard than Nike or others; their cheap products of course suck by comparison, however their expensive premium lenses are very good compared to other brands. I’m not an Oakley dick rider and own other frames and lenses, just trying to say that there is a lot of hail-corporate/brand loyalty shills here spreading bad info.

I don’t wear shirts, t-shirts or other clothes with clearly visible logos or brand names, unless I got the piece for free or even am getting paid to wear it.
Exceptions are music/band gear, if I like the band, and sports gear, because it is so fucking hard to find decent sports gear without visible logos and brand names.
Hey, I wear normal Oakley prescription glasses and they’re great. They were the most comfortable frames at the optometrist. Didn’t even know they were Oakley until after I bought them. That being said, I’m not saying you’re wrong.
When trying on frame initially, Oakley’s actually will be more comfortable due to their temple style, although after your lenses are made any frame will be adjusted and balanced to be exactly as, if not more comfortable with less squeezing. (Unless the place selling the glasses doesn’t care about fitting, which is more common than you’d think)
Interesting, that’s good input. I had that issue the time before my last visit when I bought new frames. They did not do anything with fitting and just gave me the frames off the shelf. I did not know that wasn’t a common practice until last time. They took time to do a fitting. Still ended up with Oakley though, maybe not next time.

Yeah. Norm core for basics, but I’m generally dressing in layers anyway. I don’t think I’ve worn only a t shirt outside the house in years.
I like my Oakleys, but they’re regular prescription glasses. Pretty durable and in the (bland) style I prefer.

I wonder what set off the wearing caps too high. It made kids at my school look like they had enormous heads
Many of those are promotional giveaways. I hope most, for the reasons you say.
No. People are buying them. You think, millions of shirts are produced just as advertisement for - buying shirts of that brand?
