The only ones I knew who wore sunglasses when I was growing up were Police Officers(and they were usually motorcycle cops)and Air Force pilots. Some of the kids I went to school with had a fad for a while in the mid 50s, they would wear sunglasses everywhere, even inside movie theaters, but that didn’t last. Most people, including adults, just didn’t wear them.
I do remember (in the late 60s maybe) those skinny slitty sunglasses, I can’t remember what they were called, but we all thought they were so cool. I never had any, tho. We were poor....
