Anyone who wears sunglasses frequently usually has to store them properly when they’re not being used. But what is the best way to carry sunglasses when you aren’t wearing them?

There are several ways you can carry sunglasses when you aren’t wearing them. It’s become common for people to wear them on the head, but you can also use a neck strap or clip one arm on your shirt or breast pocket. A hard case can also be used to keep it in your bag.

Learn more about the different ways you can keep sunglasses when they aren’t in use. Read on below.

How To Carry Sunglasses and Glasses

Bringing your sunglasses and glasses wherever you go helps make sure that your eyes are protected when you need it. However, many people don’t need to put their spectacles on the entire day, so how does one carry it when they aren’t being worn?

There are several ways you can do this.

Wear Sunglasses and Glasses on Your Head

One of the most popular and stylish ways to carry sunglasses and glasses is by propping them up on your head. This is ideal only if your head shape can fit into the frame because you may risk stretching them out. In addition, this solution is only recommended if you need to carry your spectacles for a short amount of time otherwise, they can fall and break especially if you’re moving around a lot.

Use Sunglass Neck Straps

Sunglass and eyeglass straps are a convenient way to carry them. Straps are available in many styles and colors, designed to attach to each arm of the glasses so that you can reduce the risk of losing them even if you intend to do a lot of walking.

When not in use, you can hang the strapped glasses over your chest the same way you would a necklace or on your head, then easily put it on your face when you need to wear them.

Clip It on Your Shirt

Another convenient way to carry sunglasses or glasses is to hook one arm into your shirt collar, breast pocket, or into a button hole. Both men and women commonly resort to this method, which can also look stylish.

Just keep in mind that this is not ideal if you’ll be engaging in physical activity or sports. Also, be careful when leaning over because they could fall out.

Bring a Hardcase

The most secure and practical way to carry your sunglasses when they are not in use is to keep them in a hardcase in your bag or pocket. A hardcase will protect the lens and frame from potential scratching and damage, as well as any falls.

Conclusion

There are many different ways you can carry your spectacles when you aren’t wearing them. Choose the method that suits your needs best, but nothing beats the security offered by keeping them in a hardcase.
