Why women love a man in "nice" sunglasses 🕶️


Here's something women wish more men knew:

A quality pair of sunglasses says more about you than you think.

Nice shades say:

You can trust me. Why? Because I haven't sat on these. Or left them behind at a restaurant, wedged between the salt and pepper shakers on the table. I never spent the afternoon retracing my steps while quietly berating myself for being an idiot, hoping they'd turn up at the coffee shop or the grocery store.

That's why nice sunglasses matter!

Not because they're expensive, but because they speak to your character. It's "show, don't tell" on display.

Which is great for us ladies. After all, reliability is one of those qualities that's easier to see in action than discuss in theoreticals.

Think about it: no man introduces himself to a woman by saying, "I'm Tom and I'm extremely dependable." 🤪

But there's "nice" sunglasses and then there's "I hope my kid gets a college scholarship"-nice sunglasses.

Thankfully, you don't have to refinance your house to own a pair of quality shades.

We rounded up a collection of classic men's styles available on The RealReal that look like a million bucks but priced well below retail.

Some are even brand-new with the tags still on 🤯

Your wallet gets a break, and you still get to look like the kind of guy who can be trusted with a pair of Persols.

Happy shopping,

😎 Megan

P.S. Of course, I’ll always have a pair of “if I lose these, I lose these” sunglasses rattling around a beach bag, and you should too!

I don't know about you, but the roller coaster “chug chug chug” ascent towards September always fills me with anticipation. I’m transported back to the Supermarket Sweep–esque shopping trip for new notebooks and new shoes, and with them, the delusional belief that this is the year dopey-but-dreamy jock Gerard notices me if I just douse myself in enough Gap Om fragrance (which is back, by the way!). That back-to-school energy is worth stealing, even as adults. After all, who couldn’t use a...

Last night I dreamt that I wasn’t invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding. Now, in real life, I also wasn’t invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding. But Dream Megan was deeply offended by this. Fine, I thought. Maybe not the ceremony. But I should at least be someone's +1 at the after-party? When I woke up, I laughed at how ridiculous it all was. But you know how sometimes a dream hangs around for awhile? Like when you’re annoyed at your spouse because Dream Them flirted with someone else? This was kind...
