Alright, let’s talk about this little side quest I went on recently, diving into the world of Conor McGregor’s sunglasses. It started pretty randomly, actually. Saw a picture, maybe it was one of his press conferences or something, and thought, man, those shades are something else.
Getting Started – The Search
So, like anyone these days, I first just started looking around online. Typed in the obvious stuff, you know, “Conor McGregor sunglasses,” “what sunglasses does McGregor wear,” that kind of thing. And wow, it opened up a rabbit hole. The guy doesn’t just stick to one style, that’s for sure. You see him in all sorts, from classic aviators to some really out-there, flashy designs. Big frames, small frames, gold trim, you name it.
I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through images, trying to get a feel for his main choices. It wasn’t easy, pictures aren’t always clear, and sometimes they look custom or super high-end.
Trying to Pinpoint Specifics
Then I tried to get more specific. I’d see a pair I recognized, or at least thought I recognized. I’d try searching for “McGregor gold aviators” or “McGregor square sunglasses.” Sometimes I’d find leads, mentions of brands, but often they were crazy expensive. Like, really, really expensive. Made me think, okay, maybe this is just a rich guy thing, buying whatever looks flashiest.
- Saw lots of aviator styles, often with colored lenses.
- Noticed some very unique, almost shield-like sunglasses.
- Definitely saw a lot of designer names pop up, stuff way out of my usual budget.
The tricky part was figuring out if a pair was something you could actually buy off the shelf, or if it was a limited edition, or even custom-made for him. That happened a lot. You’d find something similar, but not quite the same.
My Own Little Experiment
After looking at all these bold styles, I thought, hey, maybe I should try something a bit different myself. Not necessarily copying him exactly, because honestly, I don’t think I could pull off half that stuff, and definitely couldn’t afford the real deal. But I went to a few stores, just regular places, and tried on some sunglasses that were maybe a bit bolder than my usual safe choices.
I picked up a pair of aviators with a slightly different tint, tried some squarer frames. It felt… weird at first. Definitely not the same effect as when McGregor wears them! Stood in front of the mirror for a bit. It made me realize something.
The Takeaway
It wasn’t just about the sunglasses themselves. Yeah, he picks some cool, expensive pairs. But a huge part of it is just his whole persona, the confidence, the swagger. He could probably wear cheap gas station sunglasses and still make them look like a statement.
So, my little practice session ended with me putting the bolder pairs back on the rack. Maybe I’ll stick to my simpler styles. It was interesting going down that path, though. You see these things on celebrities and wonder, but trying to replicate it, even just by looking into it, shows you there’s often more to it than just the item itself. It’s the whole package, I guess. Just my two cents after spending way too much time looking at sunglasses online.
