How much money have you spent on your hobbies?
Don’t be frustrated, you’re not the only one.
I know I have spent A LOT.
(Close to $10,000 just these last 2 years and still counting)
But that’s part of what makes life beautiful.
Mastering a skill.
Playing the guitar, cooking, drawing, hiking, jogging,
It’s all a beautiful journey.
I still remember my first time playing guitar.
I remember I had a friend tell me: “Say hello to your new lover.”
I laughed at first, but I got to the point of almost making out with my guitars.
It’s what makes life beautiful.
But you know what’s better than just hobbies?
Looking good while doing your hobbies 😎
(Okay maybe not REALLY. But kid of)
Especially if you got style or looking aesthetic as one of your hobbies,
Combining more can be the ultimate experience.
(Think how cool it would be taking your own pictures holding a guitar)
While you can’t really do that,
You can mix style with any hobby.
And have it be an even more pleasant experience
(I know I feel way better looking gorgeous and playing guitar)
I will cover eyewear in this post.
And I won’t cover all the hobbies.
Simply because there are so many, and can’t hit them all.
But if you want me to cover a specific hobby,
Write it down in the comments and I’ll add it up to the post.
Without further ado, here it is:

Step 3: Matching Lens Tints and Hobbies
Yep, these DEFINETLY matter too.
Why?
Because it’s fun to play around with them.
And… are actually practical :)
Before we get into it, you can find glasses with all the types of lenses mentioned right here.
Polarized Lenses:
If you are a tri-athlete, or simply jogging in the evenings (or mornings, I don’t judge), polarized lenses are the best.
Ideal for sports enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers
Double Combo.
Polarized lenses reduce glare and enhance visual clarity, particularly on water or snow.
Photochromic Lenses:
If you LOVE exploring and adventuring (or just taking walks), these are best for you.
The lenses automatically adjust to changing light conditions
For short, perfect for you moving between bright sunlight and shaded areas.
Our top recommendations:
Gradient Lenses:
Guitarist (like me), violinist, piano player, painter, graphic designer?
If you are creative, you’re in the club.
Gradient lenses are for you.
A stylish look.
And are suitable for creative hobbies that don't require specific tint requirements.
(With a gradual tint transition from top to bottom)
Our top recommendations:
Tinted Lenses:
Gamers and tech lovers, you’re welcome.
A light tint that helps reduce blue light exposure,which means no more or very little eye pain.
Our top recommendations:
And, it’s more than just style.
As you saw, the glasses can be quite practical.
You’ve invested in your hobby before.
If you’re ready to do that again, you know what to do.
